(1) I am a gay man who was raised in a heteronormative world. A part of this world I have always been baffled by is "modesty" culture.
(2) The main premise of "modesty" culture is that women need to dress in a way that doesn& #39;t provoke sexual response in men. Which is insane.
(3) I think it is absolutely crazy that a man can look at a woman and say "I think you should wear something else, because seeing your skin
1/No. A man is biased by his arousal. Your AROUSAL is obvious to you. But you can& #39;t know a woman& #39;s intention if she hasn& #39;t said it. Period.

So, so, so true. That is straight up messed up. I& #39;m sorry so many voices more qualified than mine have gone unheard because of gender.
