“Slut shaming” or modesty?

Have you ever wondered what to wear to school, to the beach, or to a dance? Ayesha Curry, the 26-year old wife of Warriors star Stephen Curry, and mother of two adorable daughters, posted on Twitter and expressed her opinion on women’s fashion.  

“Everyone’s into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters,” Ayesha Curry wrote.  Many people were upset with this statement.  A tweeter said “ Point of the matter is: Ayesha Curry sounds like a patriarchal princess and her tweets were undercover ‘slut-shaming.’”

Furious people began to respond to her tweet and claimed that she dressed like a nun.  Based on what nuns wear, nuns would not classify Curry as one of their own.  I believe that Curry dresses fashionably, and has a good sense of style.

Despite the controversy, many people agreed with her. Curry states, “Just looking at the latest fashion trends, I’ll take classy over trendy any day of the week.”  

A tweeter replied by saying, “Ayesha Curry is just stating facts.  She dresses appropriate[ly] and doesn’t like to show much in public.  That’s a good example.”  

I personally agree with Curry.  Women should dress appropriately and save their “stuff” for their significant others.  I don’t think that she was slut-shaming anyone directly because she made a broad statement to everyone, not to specific group of people.
