I'm curious if that's something we should be taking into account...

However, I'd also really love to see a survey on male modesty. I understand it's not the same issue, but I find so much of what young men wear to be disrespectful. It may not tempt the girls to immorality, but it does tend to communicate a lack of respect for self and others. I’m a Mom, and I think the survey was great.

However, on the whole I wonder if it did itself miss the mark of modesty, as others have said. This has shown me the truth of how Titus 2 tells the older women to teach the younger to be chaste and discreet. Some of these issues, my mother has always told me, even if I didn't appreciate it or thing anything of it myself. It is sad that their are younger girls out there who aren't getting that teaching, but it is also sad that we younger ones have often not listened. Another thing that I haven't seen mentioned here at all (though I haven't listened to the messages, and I might have missed something) is God's view on what we all ought to wear. The articles on the more general subject of modesty were good, but I believe the Bible does tell us more and I hope the girls would put that above man's opinion. 1Tim.2:9 tells us to 'adorn ourselves in modest apparel'. Adorn, not just wear, but that which is going to make us look lovely. Rom. 12:1-2 tells us we can know what is the 'good and acceptable and perfect will of God' if we live our lives as a living sacrifice, submitted to Him. Ex. 28 tells us the priests were to wear breeches reaching from the loin to the thigh to cover their nakedness. The Greek word for 'apparel' here, is not the same as that used for men's clothing, but is 'katastole'. 'kata' meaning down and 'stole' being a robe. Men wore robes, yes, but they also girded them up when they were working (Job 40:7), which women didn't do -we are to leave them down.

I have had some of the same questions in my mind as well. I think it would be one of the greatest compliments if a guy told me he appreciated my decision to be modest. It's definitely not an easy path. I was glad to learn though that I am respected for my modesty. I don't have any Christian guy friends or any for that matter like most girls seem to have, so I didn't know how much I am respected for my decision. I do have two teenage brothers, but they have never told me what they thought of girls' clothes/modesty, let alone mine. Perhaps because I never asked:) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I agree with what you said and I appreciate it. God Bless Rebekah,
