I'm sure that if the apostles been now etc they would have mentioned the revealed. Why show the world what should belong to the spouses?
Or at least cover up before going out. Its not that it will bring any good thoughts..

And what is truly disturbing about said poster is that they feel absolved of their thoughts because they feel it is the responsibility of the woman not to temp them. And as you said, not believing they are not in control of their thoughts and by extension their actions, what is stopping them from escalating to just giving into their basest inclinations and just taking what they feel they are entitled to because "she clearly wants it".

So then can you please explain to me the logic being your opinion that the Bible has no standard for modesty when it comes to dress attire?
The “logic” is that I do not read into the text what was not there to begin with. Sometimes that leads to conclusions that make me rather uncomfortable.

One poster in this thread who does not feel the need to take responsibility for their lustful thoughts. I feel that is a dangerous line of thought and it blames women for their weakness.

I realize I was being a little obtuse. Sorry.

One thing everyone in this whole discussion seems to be unaware of is that in 2nd Temple period Judea (where all the biblical NT authors grew up) was that it was women who were the aggressors for sex. Sex was a wife’s RIGHT and a husband’s responsibility; so much so that the marriage contracts that survived from the era all have minimum amounts of sex the wife was to receive. Often it was daily.

In the OT, there are a couple of passages that illustrate that. In one place it says if their husbands are fighting with someone, a wife is not supposed to grab the opponent’s genitals. (So what was she looking at?). And another in the prophets it talks about Judah going after strange gods like a woman going after a man with flesh (male member) and issue ([bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]) like a horse or donkey. HUGE.

So in the day, it seems like they were more concerned with women getting turned on by seeing male parts than the other way around.

Well I am a woman myself and this is off topic but I get tired of women playing the victim card. A lot of women have been lying these days and getting honest men in trouble for doing nothing to them. I don't believe people are asking for it when they dress sleezy but I certainly don't think it's smart to run around half naked and then and then act like oh poor me when they get harrassed. It's annoying. If you don't want excessive honking when you run dont run in a bra. If you don't want guys staring at your butt don't wear shorts wear it literally hangs out of your pants. If anything people are probably staring cause they are wondering what possessed the person to dress that way.

I think it is pretty clear from what has been said in this thread. (Not you)

Where is your data? How do you know a lot of women have been lying these days?

Not really defending anything on account of how there is no need to. What you wrote in bold is what matters. I've seen folks in all sorts of attire out & about with my girlfriend. Can't imagine talking to her about some other lady's butt or caring a flip about leggings. Gracious. I've learned to not pay much attention to what folks are wearing at Walmart, go in, get what I came for, get out of there.

It gets to be 126 degrees where you live & folks are out running in that weather? Really?
