This site is about modesty, mostly modesty in dress.

Exactly what involves modesty varies from person to person and culture to culture, and according to religous practice. But for a general definition, I suggest this:

Modest dress is that which is appropriate for the situation.

Modest dress shows respect for self, and respect for those the wearer comes in contact with, and allows the person to be perceived as a person with value beyond sexuality.

In other words, dressing modestly frees me to interact with people of a variety of sorts - strangers, co-workers, family members, friends.

Immodest clothing means I impose my sexuality on other people, whether they want me to or not.

Feeling obliged to wear immodest clothing binds me to have my perceived worth judged by my sexuality.

Refusing to consider the effects of my immodest dress on others displays my disrespect for them as people who are more than just their sexuality.

Because displaying myself in immodest dress signals what will be perceived as an opening to sexual contact, it can be opening the door for others to show their disrespect of me in words or actions.

Current pop culture, seen from the POV of dress and behavior in movies and TV, seems to consider sexuality as the most important thing in life, and virtually requires women to dress in ways that often streetwalkers would find over the top. Love is reduced to hookups, and marriage becomes a meaningless contract for exclusive sexual favors instead of the relationship that passes down the thread of life to the next generation.

As a result, populations are crashing, and people are no more happy than in the days before the sexual revolution, and in fact may find life much more lonely and meaningless.

One way to fight back is by choosing modesty. Declare that you are worth something. Live modest in dress and in life and fight back against the nihilism.
