Is the Christian Modesty Message Causing Women to be Ashamed of Their Bodies?

To Love, Honor, and Vacuum
October 1, 2014

The Christian modesty message also says that boys are basically helpless to withstand this onslaught of seeing girls’ curves. All guys, including all older men, will lust if they see you. I’m not sure how that message is supposed to make women like men.

I am so glad Sheila isn’t afraid to start some conversations about these kinds of things. I think we are in desperate need of re-thinking stuff, because some of the rabbit trails we’ve gone down have ended in destruction for a lot of young (and old!) women. Read the rest of this FANTASTIC, thought-provoking article HERE. I think she does a great job of putting things in perspective without going off the deep end one way or the other.

  1. Natalie,
    I’ve spent the last few years trying to figure this one out… Trying to add more modesty to my life, and having a real hard time drawing the line. I have not even finished this article yet, but wanted to thank you for sharing it… Some excellent points… I feel like I need to wrestle this one out so I can walk in the freedom of modesty without being paranoid. The next generation needs to right attitudes, boys and girls alike…

    Keep sharing these great articles!
