Fathers are the most integral part of the equation. I also think your dad had some excellent points.<br /><br />For a comment written in haste, you did a marvelous job! Thanks for taking the time, because I think your point of view added a great deal, my friend!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281480044634094336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365358380568470051.post-1996696424812689492014-10-09T16:39:31.110-07:002014-10-09T16:39:31.110-07:00Hillary, I think we have had this conversation bef...Hillary, I think we have had this conversation before! I believe your husband's behavior has more of an impact on your children's sense of modesty (and becoming behavior between men & women) than your dress--which BTW, I have never found immodest! My father never watched beauty pageants when we were growing up, and told us that he thought they were "meat markets". He also detested the movie "Pretty Woman" because he thought it glorified prostitution. He was also the one who told us that if we were going to wear a dress we had to sit like a lady. That's not to say that he didn't appreciate an attractive woman, but I felt he was aware of the messages he was sending to his children and modeled respectful behavior for us.

I am more likely by far to wear a "sexy" outfit while out on a date with Matthew. The issue here is more about how we project ourselves to others every day, about how we dress as a norm. In example, it should never be my goal to get other men other than my husband to notice me. <br /><br />In general, I think girls - very young girls, too - are being pressured by media images to be as immodest, as "sexy" as possible. That is not healthy.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281480044634094336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365358380568470051.post-110669298912683672014-10-09T14:52:09.108-07:002014-10-09T14:52:09.108-07:00Well, this post puts me in very deep water, perhap...Well, this post puts me in very deep water, perhaps even over my head. I admit that I ogle my wife's form upon every opportunity. Her beauty, however, though indescribably important to me, is not really why I love her. And I also confess that when she goes out in public, especially when I am not with her, modesty is a paramount consideration.<br />Other than that bit of personal observation, I am utterly unqualified to comment.Durlrang the Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381429768038880362noreply@blogger.com
