Oh, for heaven's sake.

Whenever I see a comment about how Amy looks like a prostitute in her short skirts, I find myself wondering if this person has ever seen (a) a prostitute or (b) a fashion-conscious girl. 

I mean, seriously.  I was going to post this to whoisms, but I couldn't think of any remark more coherent and thoughtful than, seriously?

... yeah, pretty much. *facepalm*

I've seen girls and women aged 2 to 75 in skirts that short. Mysteriously, I have resisted the urge to shout, "Get thee to a brothel!"

I had that same cognitive dissonance with Uhura too. Girls wear short skirts. Grown women wear short skirts. Especially straight denim ones. Its the uniform of the under-forty female of a certain disposition (ie: likes short skirts).

These people are idiots. And possibly blind.

*gets out one of three miniskirts to wear today*

Seriously? A miniskirt is practically my uniform. Regardless of all the other fail going on with the prostitute name-calling and oh-a-girl-who-dresses-like-a-girl-can't-be-taken-seriously nonsense, miniskirts are way easier to run in than jeans, longer skirts, even a lot of shorts. Which is the most important thing when you are a companion. ;)

Still? Bloody hell.

Like a prostitute? I've seen teenagers wear riskier stuff and I hardly live in one of the world's metropoles. Amy wears what a woman her age conceivably would wear and presumably she feels good in it, so why the hell not?

I am mentally comparing Amy to any of the vast number of prostitutes I've seen and coming up with a resounding NO.

These people have clearly never actually seen a prostitute.

I am joining the choir of general "what?" and was going to raise it with a "I am wearing a skirt that short today", but then remembered I opted for a slightly longer one that has florals on it. Oh well. People are clearly idiots. (I still don't have an Amy icon. Sadface.)

I'm Muslim, and I have a skirt almost that short! (Granted, I wear it with knee high boots so you can't see my legs, but it still makes my mum wince whenever she sees it.) It makes Amy a prostitute in the same way that owning a white coat makes you a doctor, i.e. not at all.
