I made no mention of abuse, parental responsibility, etc. I simply took issue with freeper Muryan's extremely silly position that suggesting a return to modesty equated an almost fanatical oppression of women.
Well people can suggest all they want....it is when they begin to demand that I get worried. If it is a kid in clothing it is the parents responsibility. If it is an adult, it is their own responsibility. And if either does not meet with someone elses standards of decency, tough, live with it. I have always had a problem with why is it objectionable for a woman to expose her breasts at the beach? But middle aged guys with C-cup "man-cans" flopping around on the beach perfectly okay? And like I said, many of the people who post these articles are pushing a MUCH bigger agenda that includes much more then just wanting you to dress as they wish you to. I find any faith based desire to restrict others behavior when the behavior is not illegal to be VERY wrong. And it does not matter if it is coming from the Islamic faith, Christian, or any other. I am a live and let live sorta guy.
