culture should not be just a code of strange and batshit insane ethics that tells you what to wear...culture has more meaning to it than that...those seegiri chicks didn't go by such a rule, the artist that painted them on that rock didn't abide by no such weird as rule ..they saw those girls for their beauty and he painted his mind on the wall
but todays sri lanka just respect it for it's being so old ..you could get arrested these days for painting boobs on a wall
I think we are lost..we mechanically say yes to what majarity in society deem right and condemn everything that is even slightly unconventional to hell ..greatest tragedy of it is that nothing pure or creative can't come outa this pre programmed sri lankan minds...we are lost in pseudo partriosm, and cutlure..I say come outa it.
yeah what you say is true and i don't deny itbut should one's sense of fashion be influenced by what others think or should it involve some level of complying with others???
Should or should not? I don't know. But what I do know is that for most part, culture is something that comes onto you by what you see and learn. For example, coming up with something completely new (could be a totally haphazard idea) is indirectly influenced by culture, where it is the practice to admire or to feel better/recognized with innovative dress ideas. Why would one want to express his/her self if there is no one to express to? So the observation by others within a group or society is a matter too. There is something more than self-satisfaction to it.
True. Two parts to it:
1. What makes a selected form of attire unfavorable in the eyes of others may not always be on cultural norms, it may involve simple ethics, like dressing in a way not showing one's nuts (if you know what I mean)
2. Collective criticism may not always apply to one's ideas of attire, if he/she does not indulge her/himself within that group of critics for others too. It would not instill the parameters by which a badly clad individual is recognized and 'condemned' of. This is afterall, as you say an 'art of self-expression'. So why be afraid to act accordingly if one fears the idea of being criticized by someone else, the same way one would have done to another?
just saying that in this day and age, the mind of the society should know better to not be intrusive of ones liberty in such an inappropriate way.
meh it ain't even a sense of guilt..it's just rather a irritating rule you have to go by ..just like getting your movie banned for having too many nudity in it
True. One's liberty should not be manipulated by others. But in cases where the acts of an individual performed within the context of his/her liberty, affects or acts to the trouble or disturbance of others, then I believe third party has some right to influence the extent to which one could do things, a.k.a freedom; but then again this would not be out of cultural implications, although it may be used as a cover to be polite in expressing resistance. For instance, consider an excessively hairy woman comes to a club in a mini-skirt (the idea of hairy being grotesque has evolved through culture too,anyway) it would trouble the minds of certain individuals, right?? what do you think they should do?
wasn't saying that we should walk around naked
anyway...people already had learned the wonders of clothing and that it is a sin to be naked in public by the time they wrote the bible right ..
Yes. It was merely in example. Not recommended as an operative.

I would not only say that culture has an extensive meaning to it, but also that it has a different meaning that what is thought to be.
Like you say, how you wear is part of self-expression. If the Sigiri dress-code was accepted back then and now its not, it clearly shows that ideas that create culture evolves. Similarly, it should continue to evolve and history should not be imposed upon the present or future.
Fashion koranna matanam salli na
That's a fashion too.
gta agree with what you say, everything you do is influenced by your predecessors.
but that's not the type of influence we were talking about here right? we I believe were talking the kind of influence the culture can have over you that can KEEP you from doing something that agrees with your creative mind.
of course there's more than self satisfaction to it ...I mean, we, as a race, aren't mentally developed enough to just be satisfied for what we are...we need to have the "ok" from the ones that are around us ..and we all love attention don't we...attention plays a big part of fashion, it's like your fashion represent what you are, and you want the others to see it and acknowledge it.
well, my point i think was that you can't expect the others to like what you wear..that's fine. if you are man enough to be hated for what you are and go on ..but the real problems kick in when their crazy laws fine you for what you are ..or call you names for what you ..being mentally and physically abused is just too bigger a price to pay for that liberty don't you think?
and for the record, I don't think being naked is a bad idea at all . .why should seeing something you also happen to own and you so dearly cherish, on others be so offensive??
there are somethings your excessive liberty afford you to do that also might harm the freedom of others, those are the sorta things that should be prevented even if it means the involvement of a third party...
but why should you being half naked offend somebody else?? and if that hairy lady wants to keep the hair on her legs which is on HER legs but anybody elses, I suppose one can allow her that self indulgence..you are looking at this from within the context of already well established culture..what if we were to start all anew? what if these ethics and norms weren't here in the first place...if the account was set to zero, would you have willingly let it evolve into the samething that we are today, again?

do you reckon that the cultural differences between now and then are huge?
I don't know but I think the culture in sri lanka has always evolved within some limits..but where ever may evolve, may it evolve in the right direction...but at the end of the day, what you wore don't really matter...what we should be concerned of is that culture has much influence on some other things that really matter..
