 The last one was getting a little long, and I wanted to give this person (I think female) special attention.

 Judgemental Rape Counselor

I was doing counseling with victims of sexual assault at a secular agency. Yes, I understand that what a woman wears has nothing to do with "traitional" rape (which is a matter of control and/or anger, not sex

Yeah, and also? I've had idiots try and bug me when I was walking home at night in my floor length skirt and long-sleeved shirt. Modest dress decreases the amount of garbage in my life but it doesn't eliminate it because some men are just fucking assholes; dressing in revealing clothing does attract more of them, but that's just because they're unimaginative entitled asshats. They have rape in all those places where women wear burqas. Some people just don't get it. :)

Look! It's a novel for you.

Hear me loudly not disagreeing with you

I get really sketchy about a lot of clothes now because of the show-off issue. I've had a child and to be honest, never really had a cute flat little tummy anyway.

I also despise the damn lowrider jeans because I don't actually enjoy accidentally flashing people. Luckily Old Navy has started making the fitted "perfect tees" a bit longer.

What it is about the uniform is that whether I lose or gain pounds, it's harder to tell. And I wear small uniforms.

I've never understood why some people think skirts are modest but pants aren't. I spent parts of three summers with relatives who are Jehovah's Witnesses when I was in high school and they were somewhat appalled at my totally non-suggestive clothing. I ended up wearing skirts a lot of the time to make them happy, but luckily I happen to like long skirts anyway. (They didn't actually require skirts to be that long, but I don't like shorter skirts.)

I think some religious rules concerning clothing have as much to do with control as with actual modesty.

I think you win the prize for the day.
