I Think Modesty Is Attractive

I am glad this group is here.

I am reminded of an experience I had years ago. Our daughter had just outgrown the "girls" section of the clothing stores, and my wife and I were aghast at what was being sold in the bigger sizes. Someone suggested we look online.

I discovered that whenever I googled phrases like "modest clothing", all I would find were sites for Muslim clothing! (this was a long time ago -- our daughter is in her late 20's now.) As much as I think Muslim women can look quite attractive in those clothes, they were not what we were looking for. I found it amazing that the word "modest" seemed to imply "Muslim". I thought that was a sad commentary on the state of our culture.

Western girls are cultivated to wear immodest clothing from very early in their lives. You can see it everywhere with skimpy tops, very short, shorts. In other words, the more skin the better. When they get older it is the same story of skin exposure except it is with tighter clothing. The thing is that nothing is thought of it because that is what "they" all wear. I drive a school bus and see it every day.
