Amazing that a female reporter in a mainstream media outlet would write a story so openly supportive of traditional modesty and patriarchy.

I applaud Sarah Freeman's stand. Men are drawn to women but we are more drawn to women who dress modestly than those who overtly advertise their sexuality. Its only human nature - a man will prize a woman more who saves herself over one who is easy to get into bed.

Bravo Sierra. Modest? Is that why the Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition sells so poorly?

In her 1999 bestseller A Return To Modesty, young American author Wendy Shalit argued that modesty was a protection device for women and that the public display of nudity destroyed female erotic power.
It's always nice to get paid to state the obvious, I suppose. Maybe she can get credit for inventing the wheel, too.

SI is fantasy. In real life, no man wants his girlfriend or wife to dress like a slut in public. If a woman wants to show lots of skin or more than a hint of cleavage, the appropriate place to do it is behind closed doors.

That one was a topical book, written at a time when Monica Lewinsky gave her body to Bill Clinton but he never returned the gesture.

She did the right thing, not wearing that shirt. She should mail it to my wife now.

I like the one on the left.She's hot!
To: goldstategop
Female modesty in the past forced men to behave respectfully towards women in order to achieve their ultimate goal of having sex. But with sex available on a platter, on call, why should men bother with the niceties?It's only human nature - a man will prize a woman more who saves herself over one who is easy to get into bed.
Indeed. I have heard this put more bluntly as: "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" The question is quite vulgar, I realize, but all too many women don't have a clue as to "Why won't he commit?" and they need to know the answer.

Miranda Devine is one of their lone journalistic voices of common sense.
