Once you ...Yeah, that modesty stuff was ridiculous. Once you include the idea that "there's literally no limit to the sacrifices a woman should make in order to maybe possibly help a hypothetical guy not 'stumble' (because Jesus!)" there's no way it could lead to anything good.perfectnumber628http://tellmewhytheworldisweird.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626292304461574111.post-34384199306479321802015-05-28T21:40:14.369-04:002015-05-28T21:40:14.369-04:00Yeah! That's the one! It got ridiculous really...Yeah! That's the one! It got ridiculous really quickly. I'd forgotten about the stretching thing- I used to never stretch back in my chair because I was afraid of it looking "sexy." But then my back began cramping up a lot more over the years, so I went to get a massage. You know what they said? "You need to stretch more, especially when you're sitting down all day in an office chair. These knots in your back muscles are caused by sitting in one position too long without stretching." So you know what? I stretch all the time now. And no one cares. And I feel way better! *throws hands in air*Allisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626292304461574111.post-65356913410995691262015-05-27T21:51:42.075-04:002015-05-27T21:51:42.075-04:00Oh my goodness, was it "the modesty survey&qu...Oh my goodness, was it "the modesty survey"? Yeah, that really screwed me up when I read it. For every possible clothing choice, there were at least a few guys who said it was immodest. The foundation of modesty culture is "men's opinions of your clothes are the authoritative opinions" so even if it was just a small minority, I felt I had to conform to it.<br /><br />I wrote about that in this post: <a href="http://tellmewhytheworldisweird.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-story-of-me-and-modesty.html" rel="nofollow">The Story of Me and Modesty</a>perfectnumber628http://tellmewhytheworldisweird.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626292304461574111.post-49529845529997971252015-05-27T21:41:05.583-04:002015-05-27T21:41:05.583-04:00Ahahaha.

Answers ranged from strapless dresses to t-shirts. It basically covered every item of clothing you could ever wear. lol. Apparently human beings are generally attracted to other human beings. :PAllisonnoreply@blogger.com
