I'm glad PP took the time to summarize the points discussed on this thread. Reading through them makes me realize that not one point is valid.

Modesty - or this need to appear modest - again places the onus on the woman, and that's really the heart of this discussion.  dictionary definition of modesty -the quality of behaving and especially dressing in ways that do not attract sexual attention

We place the blame on women for showing too much "body" and thus, attracting sexual attention.  That's not modesty; that's imprisonment and brainwashing. Furthermore, this belief also empowers men.  "I can rape her b/c she was showing too much skin. She was asking for it."

It's no different from the mentality of any rapist, which is to use any excuse to overpower women.  Islam fails to enlighten men.  Is that how you want to raise your sons?  to pass judgment on young women who show too much hair?  to blame them for being too sexually attractive?  to empower them to harass or worse yet, harm women?

There's a sick theme that runs throughout Islam and to be fair, throughout many religions - that sex is dirty, that women are either Madonnas or whores.

Until we have PPs (like the one above) who continue to point out these silly and dangerous beliefs, we won't move forward AS WOMEN.

I'm sorry if the truth hurts.

Islam doesn't view sex as dirty.  Islam embraces sex in marriage, and considers extramarital sex a sin for both men and women.  In that, it is not that different from other religions - don't know of any that approves of extramarital sex.

You really are too glued to your own soapbox.  God only knows how you took a simple statement of "it makes women feel more modest and that makes them feel good" and rolled into into the crazy ball of rape, passing judgment, unenlightened men, brainwashing, empowerment and who knows what else.

You are incredibly stupid and arrogant to say that unless all women believe like you do, we won't move forward as women. No, AS WOMEN.  I got news for you: just because you and other women share the same form of genitals, it doesn't make you similar or the same or wanting the same things or belonging to the same club.  Even though it kills you, other women have other ideas of what "moving forward" is. [/quote]
