from: http://alaskapride.blogspot.com/2009/05/anchorage-ethics-queen-andree-mcleod.html Andree McLeod's less typical background reveals another possible reason why this has become an issue. According to previous Alaska Voter's Guides published in 2002 and 2004, when she ran unsuccessfully for the House District 24 seat, McLeod was born in Beirut, Lebanon. Undoubtedly, she came in contact with Muslims while she was there, possibly even the fundamentalist type who currently run Hezbollah. Fundamentalist Muslims strongly encourage women to cover themselves up in chadors or burkhas, because they believe a woman has a responsibility not to tempt a man beyond his ability to bear it. This implies that a woman has a responsibility to conduct herself in a manner that discourages sexual exploitation when she does not intend to be receptive to such overtures. Women who dress "sexy" are considered to be advertising their availability and receptivity. This philosophy could have easily influenced McLeod's thinking.

LOL...no wonder Mcleod has complained publicly about "too much cleavage" in state offices.

That ain't a joke.

Or lack thereof, as the case may be.
