Carrie Underwood concert

[Der Kaiser]

But seriously......Carrie Underwood? I hope you don't mistake her for a country artist.

TTHHHAAANNNK YOUUU!! Seriously isn't she getting tired of writing songs about revenge. Before he Cheats/Undo it/Blown away/Two Black Cadillacs. She is getting as repetative as that trollop Taylor Swift WHO ALSO IS NOOOTTT COUNTRY.

[HolyAina]

Is her dress too short? Yes. But whore? That's a little excessive.

Slut/Skank seem more appropriate to me.

I prefer indoctrinated.  She is woefully ignorant of the ramifications and harm she is causing to souls by provoking lustful thoughts.  How can you blame her?  Has she ever had a father or Father tell her otherwise?  Likely not.  Society applauds this.  Be thankful that you even have eyes to see this, then pray for her.

She may not 'look' like a whore full on (her face is not gaunt and hollow, she doesn't look 'dirty') but she is dressed the part.

This.

It's a sad thing that shouldn't be posted on a Catholic forum (the pictures, I mean) but chances are that Carrie is woefully ignorant.  My own sister-in-law dresses like that, because no one's explained it to her.

I do not think ignorance is a defence in Miss Underwood's case. Surely any woman dressing in such a manner is doing so to inflame impure thoughts in men. She is not a child. I know modern society holds up the slattern as the ideal of virtue, but as she is not only conforming to this vile ideal but propagating it, she is perfectly aware, I am sure, of what she is doing.

Her own impure dress; and, from a quick look at the photographs, less than demure deportment,  the loud, repetitive, rhythmic music and the dark close atmosphere make this a place inimical to virtue and repulsive to a Catholic conscience. You said there was a brawl? I'm hardly surprised.

She's wearing the mullets of dresses, but agreed.

I don't agree that her clothing is any indicator of her sexual past.

It's definitely an indicator of her sexual future!

I disagree.

Reasonably speaking, if you see someone wearing a tuxedo you will think they are on their way to a formal event.  While it is theoretically possible that they are actually about to go mud wrestling, it's very, very unlikely and it's against reason to see that dress and conclude that they're about to go mud wrestling. 

If someone is dressed like a whore, it's reasonable to believe that they're going to behave like one.  Not unilaterally certain, but one flows from the other reasonably.  It is the impression that one gives.  If she does not want to give that impression, then it is up to her not to give that impression.

Kk, thats kind of like saying that just because someone dresses promiscuously doesn't mean they're promiscuous. It doesn't seem like the most logical of conclusions.

[Christknight104]

I never thought Trads would be interested  in Carrie Underwood concerts, or going to secular pop concerts in general.  One learns something new everyday.

Insert Chappelle clip here.

It is perfectly logical.  Just because a woman dresses promiscuously, it does not necessarily mean that she has done so deliberately.  We live in a culture that is deeply confused about appropriate clothing.  Many young women cannot tell the difference between sexually provocative and attractive.  It is quite possible for a woman to be sending a message that she does not intend.

[LouisIX]

I doubt anyone here was claiming that Carrie Underwood is promiscuous but merely that she dresses like she is.  Unfortunately, our single appeal to arguing with this is that a lot of women dress like this.  Fortunately, not all of these women are promiscuous.  Unfortunately, the modern zeitgeist has tricked them into thinking that dressing like this is ok.

I don't personally find most of what she's wearing to be all that bad, but this is at least partly because I've been so desensitized to this sort of stuff.  I don't know if she deserves to be called a slut, but she certainly isn't dressed modestly either.

I wouldn't want my daughter dressed like that.
