    For those who believe in something higher, modesty is not about restriction — it’s about reflection. It’s about reflecting God’s design, respecting the sacredness of the body, and standing firm in values that don’t shift with the tides.

    No, modesty is about hiding our achievements in order to avoid falling into pride.

    And excess clothing on women, no matter how uncomfortable or dangerous it might be to them is about hiding them as if a coveted good from the eyes of the greedy.

    You're lying to yourself if you believe this has anything to do with God. It's all about mortal men and their sinful minds unable or unwilling to bear the weight of their own greed. And so they throw that weight on women, without shame and without guilt.

    How long are you going to keep running from yourself and think that's the way to heaven? How long will you blame the innocent and the suffering for the crimes of the aggressors?

    Reflect on yourself first before you selfishly decide what God wants for others through your words.

      OP is clearly trolling, but this is the most balanced take on the article.

      Reflect on yourself first

      Agreed. The article mentioned a "Biblical perspective", and I vaguely remember something about Jesus saying if your eye offends you pluck it out. He didn't actually make his disciples pluck out their eyes tho, I think he was saying if there's a problem it's with the viewer, not the observed.
