Tamar, I want to thank you for that post.
Back when I was a young girl, we were told (in my Catholic school) that the Tabernacle Veil and modest clothing on a woman serve the same purpose: to indicate something holy in the eyes of God, which ought not to be viewed or handled profanely or thoughlessly.
A lack of a sense of sacredness in the worship of God (Who is the Lord and Giver of Life) has accompanied the lack of a sense of the sacredness in our handling human life and sexuality, which is the bodily source of human life.
It's something I'm thinking about. Respect.
You're welcome. On my FR links page, I have lots of links to modest clothing pages.
