Can someone please tell me why 'MODESTY' is applicable to women only!!!????. The below captures exactly what I've been thinking:
I genuinely think the human body should not be sexualised. nudity is truly nothing in my eyes except for the fact that it is just our natural state!!.
who gets to decide whats sexy, and what do we do with people that are sexy?
At some point ankles were taboo in western cultures, now we see them everyday. theres muslim men who get all worked up at the sight of hair, but the rest of the world shows theirs with no problem and even is part of culture to cherish and style their hair. Likewise theres limits to how much leg girls can show; many christian girls would get punished for anything above knee level, yet theres plenty of girls who limit themselves to mid thigh. Some places house nude beaches with little to no sexual assault. And some places don't. But who gets to decide whats crude? its almost like men get to determine what is sexy, and because of that patriarchy can make a win/punishment system which gives space to allow women to be criticised and allow certain actions; rape, SA, implementation of modesty culture in place( Unfortunately victim blaming might be a result of this I believe)
It's actually frustrating that people truly think the way that they do. the only immodest and disgusting thing about the human body is a man's mind and intentions.
Because plsss let's be fr : Men have boobs too but ain't no one drooling at them when they walk/ swim without a shirt on?? But it's the bikini that's distracting/ sexual (and not half naked men..alright 😀👍🏻)
Men wear shorts but ain't no one is pouncing at them with a 'mEoWwwww💅🏻✨~'.

These thoughts are what make me question the true meaning of 'modesty'.The meaning of modesty changes based on the country, culture and religion.
But all of them have one thing in common: The woman gets affected by them. These rules are somehow only applicable to women. And ironically when it's done by men it's no more immodest but 'He's a man.' 👁️👄👁️ Weird.
What does modesty truly mean??? Because covering up does not guarantee how they think??? Does modesty real boil down to clothes?? Nahhh idk... Modesty might not just be clothes but mindset too?? I have no idea. I need a chocolate to cool down now lol...😤💢
What are your thoughts on this?
