Dignity, Not Modesty

The problem with talk of "modesty" is the underlying implication, even if sometimes unintentional, that feminine beauty is shameful. I know it made me ashamed, and I certainly didn't get that from my parents. But this facet of "modesty" talk, if even admitted to exist, is quickly dismissed as accidental and of little significance compared to the all-important task of protecting men and boys from their helplessness before their own thoughts.
