Implications about Gender in Dancing With The Stars.
Anyone else notice how unbelievably skimpy and overly sexy the outfits on this show are?? The outfits appear as if they were made with a single yard of fabric shared between several women. The ladies show off their midriff, cleavage, arms, legs, and much more all at once instead of just one "female asset" at a time. I mean, I know that "sex sells" and plenty of viewers tune in to see the attractive young dance professionals and their hard bodies. However, if the shows main concept is the beauty and skill involved with dancing then the microscopic outfits aren't necessary. Dancing is sometimes referred to as an art form. Great dancers have the ability to show grace, humility, and and pride through their craft, but some of the women on this show do not exhibit such respectable qualities through their overly sexy dance moves and clothing (if it can even be considered clothing). Maybe if the women wear such tiny pieces of clothing, the men should too? You never see Lawrence Taylor or Ty Murray showing any leg! I vote these girls start covering up a little, which would help them to look more classy and graceful in their dancing.
