I'm sorry I missed it, missed by a year it looks like, but given the level of discourse and humor I would like to see how a few hundred irreverent secular feminists parse every thread, haunch, movement and prime cut of beautiful nubile men. Many here have said it already, so I second, what about male modesty? What's our stumbling block- hairy chest or smooth, skintight T shirt or loose jacket, sixpack or Tony Soprano fat, pants that fit correctly or boast that threadbare golden egg?

So they're not very different to the rules we've seen from this survey (which, I should point, out include "no bending over" and "no sitting or laying on a bed"). Or do you believe breast implants are a “vital medical treatment?”

OBVIOUSLY the only people qualified to make that judgment are MEN. It would be best if they are men who were not allowed to be married and have absolutely no contact with women (except as an abstract concept), yet are in positions of ultimate authority over all. If your religion does not provide you such men, then you have to make do with whatever representatives of The Patriarchy you have available. In any case, "Do as he tells you to" is always the best plan... “Who decides what’s modest, Rita?”

Look at the results of that survey - there is no consensus about modesty among men. At least 10% of men found things like sweatshirts immodest, or moving in certain ways that most normal people would not consider overtly sexy. There wasn't a single item on that survey, no matter how silly, that some fraction of men didn't find to be unbearably hot. Hell, that survey created an environment where young men felt comfortable admitting that their own sisters and mothers could tempt them into thinking sexually provocative thoughts. Are women responsible for all of those men? Because their responses were given equal weight as those men who just found stripper heels and fishnet stockings too sexy. I followed that survey pretty closely, and the one "do hard things" stance they've been unwilling to take so far is being very clear about where the line is; where does this lust thing actually become the guy's problem? At what point can an otherwise modest girl look at a guy making unreasonable demands and say, no, asshole, this is your hang-up, not my problem. No one wants to define that point, because that would give the girls a concrete base to say, wait a second, this is insane, when men tell them that wearing a messenger bag strap across the chest (seat belt style, and ain't nuthin sexier than a seat belt) is too sexy for words. They don't want to potentially limit the slut shaming, and that's bullshit. Who decides what’s modest, Rita? Look at the results of that survey – there is no consensus about modesty among men.

If you do something modest and the boy still lusts, only he is guilty. Has it never occurred to any of you that perhaps the cosmetics and clothing you wear were designed to cause lust in men? It's fairly easy to understand, should you stop groupthinking for a minute. Or do you believe breast implants are a "vital medical treatment?" It isn't about mind-controlling the boys sexuality, but getting the girls to be conscious of their own overt sexual behavior. Look into it.

While many of the questions revolved around traditional conservative aesthetics (halter tops are a no-no, but floor-length denim skirts are tre chic), and others are simply ridiculous (baggy sweatshirts with anything on the front, for example, draw too much attention to the chest — just check out these hoes as an example), quite a few of the modesty issues are less about what’s acceptable for women to wear (pretty much nothing, as far as I can tell) and more about how best to keep women from moving or doing anything. For example: #1 A girl’s physical posture and/or position can be a stumbling block. #2 It is a stumbling block for a girl wearing pants to sit cross-legged (i.e. Indian style). #3 It is a stumbling block for a girl to sit with her legs spread apart. #4 It is a stumbling block to see a girl lying down, even if she’s just hanging out on the floor or on a couch with her friends. #5 The way a girl walks can be a stumbling block. #6 A girl bending over and exposing her lower back is a stumbling block. #7 It is a stumbling block for a girl to bend over with her backside towards you. #8 Seeing a girl stretching (e.g. arching the back, reaching the arms back, and sticking out the chest) is a stumbling block. #9 Lifting a long skirt any higher than the knee in order to step over something is a stumbling block. #10 Seeing a girl’s chest bounce when she is walking or running is a stumbling block.
