Halloween: that special time of year
heh ghosts and ghouls come out to
iunt the night, children are allowed to
:cept candy from strangers and many
omen throw their morals right out the
indow.
Now, why is' it that women seem to
choose Halloween of all days to dress like
sluts?
It appears that, despite whether they
dress as a pirate, a police officer,
a zombie, a construction worker, a
Catholic school girl, a nun, an auto
mechanic or even a stripper, the cos
tume is always “sexy.”
Clackamas students have varying
opinions on the topic.
Some are opposed to the idea of
women dressing seductively for the
holiday, including Michael Mitchell,
who believes “it is wrong.”
Another student, Rebecca Sweesy,
theorizes that women are “trying to
please people” in an attempt to be
popular.
