A shorter version of a skirt, used mostly by women to make women feel good about themselves, often wrongly interpreted, as meaning they want sex. Women who wear them are often wrongly called "sluts" males who use the term so that they won't feel guilty about treating women like objects; this term is usually used by sexist men who never use the same word when referring to shorts on a male or a kilt on a male

a device used to allow slutty girls to be uptight about their sluttyness

An excuse for girls to look like sluts and feel "powerful." Girls who wear miniskirts usually do so in hot weather, where they can pretend they are like some Californian on the beach from the OC, with their Prada handbags, giant sunglasses, and cell phones that they can't stop blathering into.

They're not always looking to get looks from guys, though that's often their reason. The important thing is that wearing a miniskirt makes a girl feel powerful and feminine. In a way, they're asserting their status as a diva, even if they're not even close to being one. Wearing a miniskirt symbolizes everything that a woman needs to justify being a bitch or femme fatale, personalities championed by the feminist movement as icons of womanly power.

Miniskirts, or skirts, for that matter, are some of the last frontiers that women have to openly distinguish themselves from men. It is a freedom of clothing choice

The above deifnition is a sexist definition used by men to apply to the miniskirts of females so that men can feel better about treating women as objects, but the same is not the case when referring to men's shorts or kilts, which shows how sexist and innacurate the definition is.

The actual definition is: A short version of a skirt, worn (usually by females) for various reasons, such as to feel comfortable in what one is wearing, to show femininity, or to look nice. Often mistaken as a sign that the person wants approaches from men, when actually they don't (or in cases where they do, somtimes this is mistaken to mean that the girl wants sex, when actually she doesn't).
