Yup.

You can find plenty of online shops advertising modest clothing.

Here's one that looks like it's trying to appeal to women of diverse ethnicities (and, presumably, religions) - Modest Dresses- ModestlyDressedBoutique.com

If you had actual moral hygiene, you would not have different rules for men and women, and you wouldn't have rules for the receiver of dirty looks rather than the giver of the dirty looks. It is amoral.


Not judging means - not judging ab initio. Its not having clothing rules and regulations and for people who do judge and then blaming the judged! If you are not going to judge a transgender person, and what a fine thing that would be, you don't tell them to stay indoors so you can't see them and don't have to judge them.




Talk about upside down. Where the heck do you get your "morality" I don't judge a person on cleavage, pecs, hair or whatever whether I can see it or not. If you do - that's your lack of good morals.

I will never wear Muslim "religious" garb as a fashion statement.

1.) I am not Muslim.
2.) I will never be Muslim.
3.) My religion has its own dress code to follow.
4.) Muslim women usually don't like to see that anyway.

It's nothing but virtue signaling, and that's lame AF.

I'd rather wear a scarf if I was going to put something on my head. My head is too big for most hats and I imagine the sheitel wouldn't fit well, either.

At this point in my life, I usually just let the wind have at it.

No, they don't have similar strict dress codes. Some do wear the pajamas, but the ratio is waaay disproportionate. You will find many women walking around in burka and hijab in the heat while their husbands walk in front of them, in shorts and t-shirts enjoying the day. Or, swimming at the beach shirt off while their wives and daughters have to wear an ugly burkini.

When MEN have to wear burka and hijabs in the SAME WAY that women do (not just some silly little hat), THEN you will have a point.


And, you are infected with religious dogma nonsense if you think "modesty brings us to our human ideal."
We were in fact born naked in this world, and it is RELIGION that has criminalized and caused us to be shamed of our bodies and sex. MORALITY has nothing to do with SEX. SEX is amoral so long as it is between consenting adults and causes no harm to others.


Feminists used to believe this. Before they jumped on the "hijab is beautiful" train. Hijab is slavery for hundreds of millions of women. Forced on girls often at very young ages. The same girls who are often forbidden from marrying outside of their religion (which is a supremacist and intolerant feature of Islam), while the men again get to **** around and marry non-Muslim women.

It is mutual respect.

On a larger scale, some countries are more conservative / liberal than the others, this doesn't make them backward, and if you visit them, you should act according to their social norms, because this is what keeps stability and shows respect.

I don't need to tell a Muslim what she should be wearing. Same goes, she doesn't need to tell me "modesty" is what I need. Live and let live.
Absolutely, I agree. We can offer our opinions on what we may think is ideal and leave it at that. If you or I don't accept it, no big deal. You are free and I am free and everyone is free to make their own choices.

It was a middle eastern thing, not a Muslim or Jewish or Christian thing, although Orthodox Muslims and Jews still adhere to women covering their heads. Some Orthodox Christians did, too, until recently. Did you not see the grandmother in My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
lol yes ma'am I did.

I have never seen a woman in traditional dress like that outside a festival.

(Oh, except maybe old ladies in mourning in all black and a headscarf in Portugal. But they don't have prescriptions against showing their ****GASP **** HAIR!!!!! ***** to an unrelated man. It's just something done.)
