I support family days in Malls...

I was in Carrefour, City Center on Saturday with a cousin lady of mine. Saw a guy standing near the entrance only for the benefit of watching underdressed females coming in. In between saw scenes not fit to be described..I am not surprised if the malls reinforce these kinds of rules though only a few are the culprits.. :-(

MC, I did'nt stay long enough to see it develop into a "crime", but understood it would soon. I have taken "actions" before on a lot of guys. But it depends on the circumstance and timing..

And of course you reported what you saw him doing and he was arrested. Right? Right???

If you're not part of the solution (reporting inappropriate or lewd behaviour) then in effect you are allowing it to continue by doing nothing.

We all have a responsibilty of care for each other - yes underdressing is stupidly ignorant and culturally inappropriate and offensive - but your decision to do nothing (which is apparently the case? Please correct me if I am wrong) but post your complaint here does nothing to improve the situation

I don't support it, why? though they implement this kind of rules? which is supposed to be good, the fact if you are Local/Arab/ or Genuine European? yes you are exempted "experience wise" Oh and Oh even if I am with my brother which is legitimate FAMILY I am not allowed.

to answer your question? Just observe proper dress code in this land.

Tips: For males out there? if you can't get in during family days? wait on the parking lot and talk to any ladies going inside immediate? they will become your instant family :D enjoy!

Elegance, I agree that all you describe is not appropriate and should be condemned, but, let's be honest what they call "family day" is just a racist day, we all know that blond well dressed single man can enter any mall any day...

(nothing against blond or green or any other color man)

Get properly dressed to avoid such circumstances

And... your question is??????

I think it is an unfair practice. If individuals should be behaving or even dressing inappropriately, then THEY should be removed from the malls. It is almost as bad as putting a plate of candy and chocolates in front of children at a party then punishing all of them if one child started to drool or take a piece.

What is even more unfair, is the majority of the inappropriately dressed females appear to be single (not with husbands and children)anyway so why are they allowed in in the first place?

the term "family day" could be as racial as "apartheid" was in South Africa. same thing, different terminology.

There is a new mall (Al Watania)opening tomorrow near to the race course which is only for families. Go there.

You said it, 'watching undressed ladies' ... I believe there is a code dress for the malls but people still ignore it.

I'm not saying that I'm with those standing at the gates or chasing ladies inside the malls, but making the whole day a family day where Friday is your only day off is kind of absurd ...
