Dear David F,

There's also...

A Christian should only have one wife.

This is called monotony.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Uninformed fundamentalism denigrated intelligent Christians. Men who dont like cleavage shouldnt look...then perhapsa market would not be created!

Too funny, Foxy!!

Obvious as it now seems, I can't recall that joke. Hilarious - and so true!

(Just kidding... really... in case the missus is reading.. )

Male covered? gee Polly not me Half of me hangs out over my shorts and I have to watch non does any place else.
Love the butt crack, took my mind away from the first thought at reading your post.
That was it is a bit like that meat comment from another who values religion more than common since.
Summer and the women look great on every street , the way they want to look good on them.
Men? we tend to be a bit less concerned unless its weekend.
Quotes about God, any God flash a warning that we are going to confirm in this thread we see too much interference in our lives in the name of a fable.

If we try to lay down some kind of rule... it would be resented, (just like I'd resent being TOLD about what I can and cannot wear).

If, for example we wanted to reverse the impact of exploitation driven fashion, we would need to address it as small groups most likely where we discuss it historically and biblically. One without the other wouldn't work.

"Those who don't like cleavage shouldn't look" haaaaahahahahaha de ha ha... how silly is that. The problem is not 'DISliking'..it's the opposite :) we DO like cleavage..but to my mind we get the wrong message from it. How much of a womans breast does a man need to see for him to know she is either generously or mildly endowed?

We are a society.

We should always encourage enduring and wholesome values.

The sex/reproductive drive will not dissappear in the slightest if womens fashion choices reflected the degree of modesty that mens generally do.

But perhaps... we might all be more focused on those things which emphasise romantic love and committment, rather than transitory flings and irresponsible freedom?

"Immaculate evacuation" eh hmmmm not bad for an old bloke David:) *grin*

ACCEPTABLE FASHION GUIDELINES :) (this is for normal everyday work)

(this should bring either another feeding frenzy or a lot of 'taliban' type jibes :)

Dresses/Skirts. Knee length or just below. Preferably not to offer the lower thigh to observers. (I might be wrong here but it strikes me as being an errogenous zone-thigh)

Tops. Preferably no cleavage at all. No shoulders on abundant display. Not showing upper arms.

NOWWWW we have a problem :) and..it's.....the BEACH. it all goes out the window in one way, but then... this is where "context" applies.
I think socially/culturally, we can (if we choose) associate the beach not with 'sexual allurement' but personal refreshment. We know we should not be suddenly allowing our desires to run riot.. so we don't.. (maybe?)

And in Victorian times...
women who showed their ankle were being bold...cheeky....
and when the two piece swimming costume came in
women were being bold...cheeky....
sexuality is part of humanness...
and wanting to look good is part of how we were created...
personally I wish some men would embrace this and make some sort of effort themselves!
