Modesty Shouldn't Be A Problem

I was scrolling through Facebook this morning and found this article. My first reaction was "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?!?!"

In my family growing up, modesty has always been something to strive for. Never a bad thing, but instead away to help others perceive us in a positive light. Now, I do see the author's point in not telling someone they are a "slut" since that word isn't nice to say regardless of what we think. The same is true in saying that something someone is wearing is "boring" just because it's doesn't show enough. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be modest. If anything, it shows the world a different way to live ( in my opinion, better).

We live in a society that says that no one is wrong and everyone should be able to live the way they should. Why does it seem to only work for those who are following the majority opinion? The ones whose mindset is like most of America or the world? When someone decides to do something different, all of a sudden it's wrong? There are many instances I see this happening, whether it's an opinion on a social issue or the choice not to have sex on the first date. No one be ashamed of wearing clothes that aren't skin tight nor for being pro-life.

At the end of this article, the author mentions that we should talk about what we wear more and I agree. I've come to realize the more we don't talk, the more we tend to generalize and assume. If someone never gets the courage to talk to someone who is from a different country such as Thailand or maybe Greece, that person will never truly learn outside of the classroom. One of things I love about dating men from other countries is how my world gets bigger by hearing their stories. Sometimes they are sad, but many times they are enlightening and leave me wanting to know more. We should definitely discuss why we wear what we wear. Many Muslims wear a piece of their culture in America because that's their identity and part of life. If I don't want to show my breasts to the world, I have the right to that. Personally, I believe they shouldn't be shown to the world, but everyone has a right to do what they want to do. End of story.
