I don't want to go partying in sexy costume. Am I a killjoy?

[trapenfold]

Next Friday a very good friend is having a party for her 50th. My friends all seem to be going as sexy this and that. Y'know, nurse, , schoolgirl and all that crap and they're mocking me because I just don't want to! Dress up as a daft old tart that is.. I just can't face it. Help me stand firm please, Or slag me off for being a right misery guts...

YANBU. Why should you?

If you are male then yanbu!
If you're female then of course you're being unreasonable. You are not allowed to have fun or be silly or send yourself up in a way which doesn't simultaneously titillate others.
What kind of freak would think its acceptable for a woman to not at least attempt to be sexy?

Thanks for that. I think I'll have to meet them halfway and chuck a white sheet on and go as a ghost. Or ...

sorry. tried to post a pic of Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, dressed as a ham. I still can't work out how to simplify links.

Sexy? Simple - draw X and Y chromosomes on your sheet.

It's only fun if you feel comfortable doing it.

Dress up as a bus driver, paramedic or supermarket worker. All the men love a bit of uniform after all...
