Notable and Quotable
"The steamy days of Washington summer may be upon us, but these girls, all from Burke, were definitely not getting skimpy. For a generation bombarded with news of pantyless celebrities, most of the girls we interviewed were surprisingly modest, more Hilary Duff than Lindsay Lohan."
-- Ylan Q. Mui, 'It's Not Just Parents Saying No to Skimpy Clothes,' Washington Post, June 4, '07
Thank you for your voice
Submitted by Jessica on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 18:00In a world where "sex sells," we need more people to stand up, and that is already happening. Wendy, you're great! You wrote 2 books on this very needed topic. I am in college and seriously, you are in shock by what the young women are wearing, even my husband is upset! He wishes more women would dress like I do. I am so disgusted. Women are taught that basically, your dignity lies in your body. No, it's not! Your dignity is the kind of life you live. Modesty seems to be a lost virtue, but now I know it isn't, it is just we are still in the minority.
I believe when a woman dresses modestly, men start to actually treat her like a lady, and not as a sex object. But by what women are wearing today, they are actually being treasted as sex objects! Oh, if the original feminists were still alive, they would be so upset. The original intention of the feminist movement was that people should treat women with dignity, with respect, not as sex objects.
But I am sooooo happy that there are some others out there, like myself, who are actually speaking out against promiscuity.
