Modesty

I don’t know the case in other countries but I am noticing people are caring less and less about what they wear in public and I think that this needs to be addressed.

As someone who worked, lived, and dwelled in white, black, and Hispanic neighborhoods, I can certify that we have a problem as Americans when it comes to modesty.

The other day, last week at work, I saw a woman with see-through black leggings and a thong walking with her kid son. They looked like these.

To be fair, I don’t know her situation, if she was out in her life and had to emergency pick up her kid. Or she might have just wanted to wear it. Plenty of women in that town dress exactly like she does. There is a yoga place nearby. maybe she didn’t see see-through leggings as sexual and only had a thong to wear that day. I don’t know, nonetheless, it happened.

Another thing happened. I was going to get some basil from produce and there was a family there. A mom, dad, and like 4 daughters maybe 10–14 year olds. There were 2 of them standing on the side of the cart reaching for something and their behinds were hanging out their shorts. It was like this.

Then lastly, when I worked by the city, I was walking to work when I heard a mom brag about some pants she bought her daughter. She said “Aren’t they cute?” They were some shiny tights and her kid’s behind was half out.

So While I am at work, I am noticing more and more that women are dressing skimpier and skimpier, and are teaching their kids that “sexual” is actually just “cute.” So i look at this mentality and look at movies, games etc. They do a lot of immoral things but dismiss it as “progressive” or “funny.”

I think humanity is getting lost in our own heads and totally oblivious to the real world. I don’t want to insult anyone but I FEEL like we are getting too progressive to the point of becoming airheads.

We’ve been taught to accept everything, do what we want, and only focus on the positive. That is a recipe for turning us from alert people into prey.

What i am saying is, I think women need to start calling each other out and men need to stop being afraid of being the bad guy and stop being people pleasers. We were given this world as a gift and we are responsible for it. It’s time to stop letting people run crazy and stand up for what’s right. We can’t be afraid of being called a bigot or a hater.

I am not saying chastise one another but if you can or have the opening to comment something, i think it’s alright to take that opportunity to say something. Say it with love of course but nonetheless, saying something may help.

EDIT: Don’t make this a feminism thing. I used female examples from my life, yes, but I use terms like “we” and “our” meaning people in general. I address my opinion on what I think men and women should try to do. Men have modesty issues too.

Happy feminists?

I did a man example so maybe you can focus on the message and stop this into this into a man vs. woman thing.

For those trying to play the “sex” card, here you go.

Now call her sexist too.
