What is modest dressing?

Kwitz, it is all a part of the same culture (for lack of a better word) of disrespect. The girls are objects to be ogled; the clothing is meant to be an enticement to the boys. (I actually saw in the little girls’ section of a department store a tee shirt for a little child that had “SEXY!” written across the chest!)
As for the boys, I don’t believe a lot of people realize just where that baggy, ill-fitting style comes from. It is a take off of the prison system, where the inmates are given whatever clothing will fit on their bodies, and often they are loose and baggy (obviously they have no belts to hold up the baggy pants). The “style” outside the prisons began with the hard-core rappers who were either repeating what they experienced in prison, or were trying to emulate it in order to enhance their images as “thugs”. I don’t have any children, but if I did, they would NOT dress in a manner that glorifies prison life!

Have a great day,
Judy

I don’t know if it is because I am young or what, but I totally disagree with a lot of this stuff. Like the loose/baggy pants thing. It is just style and to the majority of the people (including myself) I don’t base my style on what the “background” of it is. I don’t think it is inappropriate for yound women (18 and up) to wear tank tops or shirts that show the midriff or shorts (as long as your behind is not showing). Maybe it’s the generation I grew up in. I don’t know.
