1. Argh. I'm all for dressing in a classy and modest fashion, esp. kids, but
their reasoning is beyond ridiculous.

If modest dress prevents harassment and sexual violence, why do Muslim women in burkas still get raped?

And the entire concept of doing ANYTHING in life in order to please men as a class is just offensive. I don't want the kind of man who will be interested in me because I wore modest clothes and acted submissive.

Next.
