Some helpful thoughts on Christian modesty
Female modesty has been a hot topic for a long time.
Recently both burqas and bare breasts have become weapons in the fight against misogyny; as I write, Miley Cyrus’s ‘twerking’ is still front page news. There’s plenty of rhetoric about rights and liberty, empowerment and exploitation, and everybody has an opinion. Maybe you have joined in expressing disgust at scantily clad women in pop videos. Maybe you too have shaken your head at the niqabs in schools or courts or hospitals. But if either extreme is unacceptable, what is right in regards to modesty and how do we relate to our deeply confused and conflicted culture?
