You Go Girl
A friend of mine, Nancy French, from church and bible study writes occasional columns for a free weekly paper here in Philadelphia. She is unabashed in her writing about being a transplanted southerner, Christian and conservative. She has tackled lots of topics including homosexuality, liberal media bias etc. She often gets a lot of nasty response mail. This week's column is about modesty and I think it is right on, but I bet she still gets lots of heat for it.
She mostly takes on how it effects women. But, we live near the University of Pennsylvania and since coeds are some of the worst offenders, walking to and from work can be like running a modesty gauntlet for my husband who's office is on the other side of campus. He has been threatening to buy a cut off Tshirt and print "It doesn't look any better on you" and wear it home some day just to try and get women to realize that bare bellies, low jeans, and over exposed cleavage is not as positive a look as they may think. At least I was able to find one piece swimsuits for my 6 year old, don't know how long that will remain possible though.
