Modesty in dress is essential, but if you go too far in the other direction, you end up with the burka.

Exactly. There is a breed of fundamentalists that dictate the dress of women (skirts no pants, no makeup, long hair etc) as if that makes them holy. Holiness is a condition of the heart..

I fear that these men know they can not control their sexual desires..so like the Muslims they will make the women bear the responsibility for THEIR lust

If a woman has a heart directed to Christ, she will be holy in her dress. But we must not judge the heart of the woman by the amount of makeup she wears.

Remember what Jesus told the Pharisees?

Mat 23:26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Do not be a stumbling block to others. Your callous disregard of men and their desires is un-Christian. How many immodest women have led some little ones astray and would have been better off putting a millstone around their necks?
