My, aren’t you self-righteous.

No, actually, that's not self-righteous. Self-righteousness necessarily requires some reference to one's own virtue. There is no such reference there.

This is something which is fairly obvious: that female public near-nakedness has no bearing on basic human rights. And as for dignity --- as distinguished from rights per se--- it suggests a general trivialization of sexuality, in our culture, certainly. Perhaps not so in other cultures --- southern Sudan, say, or Burkina Faso --- where most people of both sexes and all ages are generally near-naked.

Even there, it has no correlation with women's rights.
