Now if you don't wear nylons you're considered inappropriate--especially if it's at work-- or immodest for showing "bare" legs.

I get enough skin showing at work here. I don't appreciate it when it's in God's house so I'll state my disapproval right there. Otherwise I have learned to just see it and let it go.
Why is it always focused on women when it comes to modesty?

Modesty is for both men and women, but I think it's easy to focus on women because when they are wearing something revealing it can sometimes be very revealing.
When I see men wearing their pants down to their knees I find that immodest and should be dealt with too.
1 Timothy 2:9-10:
I have felt personally convicted about summer wardrobes and swimsuits in particular. I host a daily podcast and thought I might discuss this issue on my show. I was curious to hear your thoughts on it. Obviously, our culture fully accepts most swimsuits and other revealing clothing as appropriate. As a Christian, what do you believe?
There are lots of things I would feel uncomfortable doing if I was physically in front of God. As in I know that God is omnipresent so he is really with me all the time.
One thing that comes to mind is having sex with my husband. So the whole thing of doing it in front of God I think doesn't really sit well with me.
Again if my husband is okay with what I am wearing then I am okay with it.
I see what your saying and the fact that we are as believers always with God is one thing I stressed with my kids about being modest because your right, He is always with us
But you kind of lost me on the comparison between dressing modestly while out in the public and sex in the context of marriage. Sex in it's proper context (between husband and wife) is a gift from God, all the mechanics of which were designed by God. So I don't really see how doing something which is fine with God and dressing immodestly in public - which is NOT OK with God compares...
