Calgal,

I did not say it was all funny... I said the burka aspect was being funny... I was quite serious in my views on modesty... If you had read me early on in the thread I already stated that we guys have as much responsibility as you woman do for modesty....

Both are responsible.. One to dress modestly which is commanded and not cause their brothers to stumble and the other to not commit adultery by lusting with their eyes after woman...

I will also state that man have just has much responsibility to dress modesty for woman and not cause them to stumble.... which is why I am fully clad in the summer when it is a balmy 100 degree day and Maryland is humid so it feels hotter... No shirt is removed, my legs are covered down past my ankles and all my clothing is loose and not form fitting....

Those of us who support more fuller coverings are using descriptions from scripture of what should be covered... Body, Legs, head, etc....

So let me see if I understand this thought process correctly: women are tempting and men are unable to withstand the temptation of a woman's hair or eyelashes or hands or any part of her body. How nice to have that power.
