Nonsense.
Anyone who names the name of Christ is to consider others before themselves and knowing that men tend to be weak in the area of sexual temptation, it's the WOMAN'S responsibility to dress appropriately and modestly. If the man STILL had problems, then he has problems. But women should not be dressing like hookers to attract men's attention, and then complain when they get it.
And trust me, women DO dress to entice men in that manner and they know what they are doing.
You don't dress that sexy to impress the other females.
Women dress provocatively deliberately. They do know what they are doing and therefore are responsible to not do it in certain circumstances.
Spitting high velocity truth!!
You have no way of ascertaining whether this shoulder-revealer at mass is dressing to be sexy, to stay cool, to entice men, or out of pure ignorance.
Neither does the man. There’s an condemnatory tone to saying he was “forced” to ask her to cover up.
How does this man cope with women at work, a colleague or customer, in a meeting, the cashier at the grocery or bank, the barista, etc?
Does he ask all these to cover their shoulders or decollete? He knows he would be shamed, rideiculed, slapped or possibly arrested.
But at Mass he can exert his power, and act superior and humiliate someone. This with support of priest who is cowardly to state his case on twitter.
Both of them are targeting a woman who is caught by their double attack in name of modesty. Let them try twittering about the 6’ tall construction worker attending mass in dirty jeans and a muscle shirt.
The man should keep his fantasies and prurient interest to himself. He takes an intrusive and belittling stance instead of the simple, obvious choice to change his seat. But perhaps he is reluctant to walk over to another pew because he has a hard-on. Classic.
