Modest clothing a protection? or a respect for our bodies?

I agree with you. We defiantly should be showing more respect for our bodies, and who gets to see it. I think others will respect them as well, to an extent. Women who do dress appropriate are still raped.

It's ok to wear whatever you want.  Don't worry about what people think.  Be your own person.

That is sweet of you to think that.  But, unfortunately, we do sweat.  We are just better at hiding it;)

I'm going to tell you what. If you are really proud to be a big girl you shouldn't be worried about taking off all your clothes. If the guy you are having sex with really likes you for you he'll want all your clothes off too. Think about that.

I completely agree.\n\nHave you ever seen these Colonial House shows, or been to Greenfield Village?\n\nIn past times, men wore long pants, jackets, and hats.  No matter what the temperature.  Similarly, women wore long sleeves, skirts, and a whole lot more underneath.  It didn't kill them then and it won't kill us now.\n\nCome one America, dress up a bit.\n\nI can give a McDonald's exception, maybe an Arby's exception.  But any place that you don't order from a counter, or above that, and men should wear long pants and women should not have bare legs.  No sleeveless tops either, men.

I think those people realize that clothes don't make or break who they are. They are truly secure in the knowledge of who they are and are perfectly happy inside their own skin. They are in tune with themselves and can celebrate their own intrinsic value. They simply realize that real people accept you for who you are, not for what you wear. Clothes are a necessary accessory. No more, no less.

Clothing is like the cover to a book. It shows the personality of you. It also tell how you live, what you like. I like wearing jean skirts. They are relaxing but feminine. I like also wearing low cleavage shirt. I like to feel sexy and like people to see the sexy in me. Some people dress "bummy" because they don't care how people see them.

It would be great if you could wear exactly as much or as little as you wanted to, whenever you wanted to, and no-one would care.  However, the world is not like that at the moment, and I don't know how or whether we could ever make it that way.  So, my ideal answer would be 'yes' but in practice it's probably 'no', because it would be unacceptable for too many people.

Teachings of our society. There have been  many societies where nudity was accepted as normal.

Maybe it's your modesty.

provocative or not...everyone should be able to dress how they want to without fear of harm.  its not just girls that might have this fear...punk kids get harassed and threatened alot for how they look from people, goth kids, cross-dressers, etc etc.\nnobody deserves to be harmed for what they wear or how they look, and more power to those that despite any fear they may have dress how they want to.

good, sensible, benevolent modesty

It's "appropriate" whenever you feel like. People shouldn't tell you what kind of underwear you can or cannot wear! That would be ridiculous! It is stupid though, when people have them hanging out of their pants, showing them off. The purpose of thongs is to not have pantie lines or for lingerie, not to show off when you bend over.

Because, as usual, there is a double standard.  Americans are taught to see the body ans something unnatural and embarrassing.  Why is that?  Oh...well...that whole "original sin" bullsh*t.  \n\nThe human body is beautiful.  It is natural for us to want to look at other people without their clothing on.  \n\nHow many tribal and otherwise non-american cultures have no problem with the body?  They are functioning societies, are they not?
