Mobs Strip Women Naked Over Mini-Skirts
January 15, 2002 8:12 am EST

LUSAKA (Reuters) - Police said Tuesday they had arrested 20 members of Zambia's ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) after hundreds of youths stripped women naked for wearing mini-skirts or trousers.
Dozens of women were stripped in the capital Lusaka on Monday by unruly mobs who said they were acting in the name of new Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa and wanted to enforce "official or smart casual dress" among Zambian women.

Mwanawasa, returning from a regional summit in Malawi on Monday night, denied he had given Zambians a new dress code and condemned the actions of the youths as a disgrace and an attempt to deny Zambian women their liberty and freedom over dress.

"It is a presidential directive that the youths involved be firmly dealt with by law enforcers," presidential spokesman Arthur Yoyo told reporters.

Lusaka newspapers Tuesday quoted the youths as saying they understood that Mwanawasa had directed an end to "suggestive and provocative" or "slut wear" dressing by women.

Rider of the storm!
What is it about the "Third World" mentality....

That causes men of those cultures to be so insecure about women's bodies?
Why is it always the standard in these countries to punish women who choose to dress in a fashion that accentuates their bodies or their form?
In my mind the female form is the most beautiful of God's creation here on earth.

Plain and simple, if these so called men would be more in control of their labido's and less fearfull of their own shortcommings The issue would not exist at all!

The mob thought the gals should be more modest, so they stripped their clothes off.....?

There's an excellent oxymoron in here somewhere, if we can get it figured out.

In there culture its is the womens fault that the men sin. The women entice the men and the whole idea of the dress code is to reduce the enticement. Men have no self control. Most people will agree that a properly clothed woman is sexier than a naked women. The men arn't insecure, they are afraid of going to hell. Ain't religion wonderful.

And since men run that as well as most religions including Christianity and God has got almost nothing to do with them then I have to agree with your equating the statements but for different reasons.
