BigJon16 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 [quote name='Winchester' timestamp='1353330624' post='2512905'] Actually "chain" or "mail" would be proper. Both words mean the same thing. You're essentially saying "chainchain", if you say "chainmail". [/quote] nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Virginity thread and now this. Just copy/paste the pages from the last modesty thread and close this one. But, I am curious. What does rice wine have to do with modesty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyP89 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 [quote name='Nihil Obstat' timestamp='1353308875' post='2512848'] I see nothing wrong with any of that. At least not necessarily wrong. Almost makes it sound like doing your best to look good is necessarily immodest. [/quote] For the sake of playing devil's advocate, I'ma use this quote as a scapegoat. Hopefully this will generate some interesting discussion. So given that heels do all that amazing stuff to your (well, a woman's; I would hope you don't wear heels, Yosef ) butt, couldn't they in some sense be compared to wearing low-cut shirts with lots of cleavage? They accentuate and draw attention to certain parts of the body in a way that says "look at me!" Isn't that immodest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) [quote name='brianthephysicist' timestamp='1353308203' post='2512841'] I've heard people say that high heels are immodest because they emphasize calves, elongate the legs, and lift the bum. [/quote] hrm. i honestly don't know what to say in response. i don't think that my mom's generation of women thought about this. high heels were just a way to complete the "package" of a dressy outfit. when i wear high heels, it is a way of completing my dressy outfit (and showing off my amesome taste in shoes). (not to mention that a lot of women's dresses and slacks are pretty long and almost require high heels to make sure the dress or slacks don't drag on the ground.) does wearing high heels have a side effect of what you mentioned? sure. but if you're too scrupulous, anything and everything can be an occasion of sin. (not to mention that being too scrupulous has a pretty detrimental effect on your spiritual life.) Edited November 19, 2012 by Lil Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they complete the package in a way that flats do not seem to? Why are they more esthetically pleasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think it's the same as a dress shirt with a tie or without tie. One is just more dressy. Maybe it has to do with the level of potential discomfort. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 [quote name='Basilisa Marie' timestamp='1353308646' post='2512846'] I've also heard knee-length skirts are immodest.

[/quote] ^that's the linchpin of that line of reasoning, as far as pantaloons go. Intention! Actually, high-heels started out as a men's fashion, to emphasize a man's calves...because sculpted calves were what all the ladies were after. It was only much later that ladies adopted them, and then they died out in men's fashion when calves were no longer seen as super hawt. So I have to laugh when I hear people(read: men) run around saying "zomg high heels are so immodest you strumpet-female take those off!" Because we wear them to look "put-together," classy, fashionable, and as part of the female professional outfit. You guys wore them purely to turn yourselves into objects of desire.

qfnol31 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I make sure my heels make a good "click, click, click" sound as I walk around. Even more important to me than height or figure is the sound I convey. Wait, am I in the wrong thread here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
