Modesty

I normally do not preach or push my beliefs on anyone, but every day that I go to the high school to pick up my daughter, even the middle school to pick up my other daughter, then there was the "skinny jeans" in a size 2T at walmart the other day, the padded bra from the gap for 6 year olds.... What is society and fashion designers turning our little girls into?

I believe in Modest dress, I do not believe that you have to be completely covered from head to toe, but the teens walking around the schools, and not just high school wearing what looks like less than a 1/2 yard of fabric glued to their body, pushing every dress code limit they can, what are they saying?  What are they thinking?  And what are they teaching the boys in that school?  how many broken hearts could have been prevented if the guy was not lured in by his uncontrollable lust?  What about teen pregnancies?  Diseases?  Just cover up a bit more, you can look beautiful without showing all that, in fact I have talked to several men who actually think it much more attractive when a girl leaves some hidden for the imagination.  Ever hear the saying "curiosity killed the cat", well leave a guy curious and he will follow you.

What about the divorce rate? If more women would look at the way they dress, I truly believe, in my own opinion, that relationships would be based more on whats important and a deep loving friendship.

I am not saying dress modestly because the bible says so.  Not at all.  I am saying out of respect for the men around us, every man you pass on the street, dress more modest for them.  There is a princeton study that gives some insight on how a mans brain reacts to seeing a woman scantly clothed or in a bikini.  I mean, seriously girls, part of a mans brain shuts down when they see too much of your body....... I will wait for you to think about the power of that....... and giggle a little....... done?.... Now seriously think about it. It is the part of the brain that is "associated with analyzing a persons thoughts, intentions, and feelings".  Hello, they basically loose all rational control of their brain, which controls what they do, and then you will blame them?  Not right girls (and now that you read this and are aware of this it is even more not right).

To make my point clearer, here is a great video I think all women should watch.




OK, I'm done with my venting.  And I hope at least one girl, young or old, got something from this.
