We can do better!
Dear Editor,
The Cricket Carnival Season 2022 has come to a close and I wish to extend my congratulations to the organisers. It is my hope that our great country continues to improve its sport and entertainment industry offerings.
However, regarding the Road Parade last Sunday, I must confess my absolute detest for the ongoing bias seen in the dress of the revelers.
The women are tramping down the road almost completely naked while their male counterparts are fully clothed. I do not think this is fair or balanced at all. The costume designers and the bands or whoever is responsible need to design and mandate costumes that are equally exposing both genders to participate in the bands.
Personally, I believe the women’s costumes in the Region these days are way too tiny and uncomfortable looking for a street parade in the general public and the display seen last weekend was too vulgar. But if this is the trend we are following, the men participating must be similarly scantily clad. They must diet and exercise all year like the women do to fit in these ridiculous outfits and be exposed in public for the delight of us women too. Either both genders do it or neither of them does. It’s only fair.
In addition, the lack of professionalism of the videographers must also be highlighted. I think it’s possible to capture scantily clad people dancing and having a good time at the street parade without super zooming in in-between their legs or on their crotches. No?
I hope we can do better.
Respectfully submitted,
Cricket Carnival Fan
