Dress modestly and cover yourself appropriately. Don’t buy into the myth that modesty is relative to culture, or that modesty has nothing to do with clothing. You are worth more than sexualization and objectification, and our brothers are worth more than needless temptation.
women and girls are sexualised and objectified no matter what we wear, stop victim blaming it’s fucking gross
interesting how males are never told to be modest. only women deserve to be sexual objects if they don’t dress in a bed sheet.
If women dress modestly then men fantasize about ripping away her modesty and get off on the shame and embarrassment she feels from being exposed. Absolutely everything can be fetishized by men. There is no winning, no magic trick that will change their behavior.
great addition. there’s no lifehack to keep yourself safe from male violence.
“Don’t buy in to the myth that modesty is relative to culture” how can OP be this stupid? Of course culture is where our ideas of modesty come from, that’s why it is different in different cultures and not something we are born with.
Does OP think modestly dressed (usually Muslim) women are not objectified? She’s spewing exactly the same nonsense you hear in a mosque.
Modesty is absolutely a cultural construct. The parameters of modesty are dramatically different from culture to culture and throughout time. There are countless peoples who were forced to cover themselves and adopt Christian mores (of that time period) surrounding nudity. Even within christianity and its numerous sects, ideas about nudity vacillate.
There are literally countless examples that prove modesty is relative, but here’s a tiny few.

In 17th and 18th century Europe, having ya tiddies full out or covered only by sheer lace was very fashionable.
Celtic/Pictish people purportedly went into battle nude and were tattooed/painted all over.
In the 15th and 16th centuries men wore codpieces to basically give the appearance of a weird perma-boner.
