Well, sure. If 100% of the women IRL are repulsive to you then there is always porn. But IRL I've only met one woman who intentionally tried to deter the male gaze while looking for a boyfriend.

Mary was in my HS senior class and she was drop dead gorgeous. I took a summer class at USL before going off to real college. This girl walked up and sat by me in the union. She was dressed like a bag lady with too much makeup and short hair. She said 'Hi Zach, it's me, Mary.'

Me: "What did you do to yourself?'
Her: 'I'm in a new place where nobody knows me. So they don't know what I look like. I want to meet a guy who is interested in me... other than my looks.'

I don't know how her experiment turned out but I was impressed with her nerve and maybe some guy got a pleasant surprise on their wedding night.

And worse are the ones who base whether they are offended or not on whether it came from a man that they are attracted to lol i saw that a lot in the military actually. charges of sexual harassment and we'd investigate and it would turn out to be some bullshite where several guys were pursuing a woman (because she was a slut) and she reported the ones she didnt' want the attention from for sexual harassment.


Tell me about it, I spent 27 years in the Navy!

Yeah, I know. But I still say 'get down' when other people say 'get out and go in.'

IE: 'I just need few things here in the store honey. Are you gonna stay in da car or get down?'

I'm pretty sure that's just Cajun.

I got some odd looks in North Dakota when I would request for someone to "come see"

You give me the creeps when you jump up on your feet, so get down, get down, get down.

You're a bad dog, baby.

This is fricking stupid. Women can dress however they want. This promotes rape culture. Men can control themselves.

Wrong

It's also a thing in black urban communities in this country.

Can they?

There are about 3.7 Billion men on the planet, with an average IQ of about 100. Add to that the fact that we are really not in control of our endocrine systems, but our behavior is affected by hormones.

I'm just not so confident in the blanket statement that, "men can control themselves" especially in light of the absence of any evidence for the claim.

To be modest and not tempt men to sin. I get it. But a woman can be modest without completely covering her body.

And to be fair, the Qur'an doesn't actually tell women to cover their entire bodies. That's a custom or tradition in strict Muslim countries to force modesty beyond what even the Qur'an states. There are a lot of legalists in Islam.

Regardless of what Muslims do, that has not been the practice of Christians.

Women shouldn't be trying to tempt men to lust just as men shouldn't be trying to tempt women.

Men should be able to control themselves in the presence of immodest women, but there are some people whose addiction is so great that they struggle greatly in the face of temptation. Think of an alcoholic who gets invited to a party and everyone keeps offering him drinks. The best thing to do is to flee from temptation, but that's very difficult in our culture where everything is so sexualized.

Whatever.

This:
quote:

we shouldn't purposefully tempt others to sin. Women who flaunt their lack of modesty are doing that very thing.

...is exactly what men were saying just before they started making women wear niqabs. That was my point.

The common denominator between Christianity and Islam is Mosaic Law, and the notion of sin. I don't abide by it.
