The fact that you used the term "common sense modesty" tells me you are not evolved in your thinking enough to realize thats a personal concept governed by what each person considers common sense. This inability to understand this simple dynamic is startling and dangerously ignorant.Youre still trying to compare a womans body to material things which is silly and exhibits an inability to grow as a man. Its mens attitudes, not the fact that all women havent converted to Islam and covered up, that is the problem here. How is it that I can restrain myself from simply groping a woman without her permission? Because I understand and respect I dont have that right.Thats lazy. The way you decide to dress shouldnt make you a victim. Change your behavior and stop thinking you get to rape any woman that shows some skin. Thats the point.Irrelevant. Being smart reduces your chance of becoming a victim. That's the point.
No, it shouldn't make you a victim. But it does increase the odds. The world is not the way you wish it to be.
Like I said, be stupid flashing a wad of cash and you increase your odds of being mugged. Park your car in a dark alley unlocked with the keys inside and you increase your odds of having your car stolen.
It shouldn't, but it does.
And most men share that attitude. Some don't, however, and it is for those a woman needs to be vigilant. The fact that you equate common sense modesty with Islam's extreme measures and not everyday life is troubling to say the least.
Would you advise a woman to wear a bikini to the beach in a Muslim country because it's her body, darn it, and no one has the right to tell her to cover it up, or would you advise her to wear something more modest because there's a good chance she'll get arrested? We're dealing with real life here.
I wouldnt advise a woman to wear anything. Its her choice what she wants to wear. We arent talking about what someone would wear in a Muslim country. Were talking about the US.
Given how many women are harassed and raped, American men don't all subscribe to the idea that they should keep their hands to themselves. Why is it that we teach children how to be safe and not get into dangerous situations, then turn around and tell women that they don't have to use common sense to be safe?
