"The presumption, though, is that immodest dress, however defined, will inflame men’s lust."

I'm of the opinion that God made men and women with a fair amount of lust, for a purpose.

Islam presents an inconsistent notion. On one hand, sex is to be AVOIDED.

On the other men take multiple wives, and have many children with each. Sex here is hardly avoided.

I don't get it. And if I was a woman, I'd get it even less.

If that were true Western men would constantly be chewed up with lust. No telling what they would be committing.

Indirectly, Eastern men are being taught they are weaker and not as good as Western men. So what Argus says is in a big sense true. What they suffer from is not lust of Western women but resentment. Its no wonder they are 1200 years behind the times.
