I dress modestly. I don’t think people need to see the shape of my body. And while doing think it is fair for people to say that “she was asking for it” when a woman gets raped and was showing a lot of skin and curves, I think a little discretion is wise.

You can’t wave raw meat in front of a dog and not expect it to react.

I have no desire to have women cover themselves up from head to toe. But I also am grateful that the fashion trend of wearing short shirts and showing off your belly button piercing is over. There has to be a middle ground.

I’ve seen girls wear shorts that barely covered their butts. I’ve seen more cleavage than I ever need to see.

Take whatever fashion it is and think – would this amount of visible skin be OK on a guy?

If we want women to not been seen as sex objects, we need to stop presenting them as sex objects.

In the summer I wear loose skirts, and if they are not floor-length, they stop at least an inch below my knee. In the winter I wear loose jeans. They aren’t really baggy, just loose. They don’t hug my curves.

I think it is about respecting myself, others around me, and my husband.

I don’t think it is kind to others to strut your stuff like you are at a strip club.

I think it is insane for a woman who dresses with revealing clothing to be surprised that she gets hit on. Guys are like that. They can’t help it. They should have better control of themselves, but they don’t. Until they collectively do act in a civil manner, it is safer to dress modestly.

I read a story about a TSA guard who commented to a 15 year old girl that she needed to cover herself up. She was travelling on a school trip without her parents. She was wearing tight jeans and a top that was low cut. She was shocked that he said this to her. Her father was livid when he found out. In my opinion, the way she was dressed would be more appropriate for a lady in her 20s. In my opinion, I’m surprised that her parents let her own such clothes.

I agree with the TSA officer’s assessment. He was trying to protect her. Yes, it wasn’t part of his job. But if we are all part of a village together, responsible for the raising of our collective children, then he was doing her a favor, indignant though she was. It is a safety issue, simply said.

There are parents who dress their little girls in dresses that are really short. Again, how would it look if a boy were to wear clothes that short? There is no reason for anybody to wear a dress that is above their knees. You can’t sit down without showing everybody your business. And if your business isn’t being a hooker, nobody needs to see it.

Until guys and men can control their animal nature, girls and women would be safer if they dressed in less revealing ways.
