Women's clothes?

[MTL]

Oh horseshit

Modesty becomes a bad thing when it represses people and makes them uptight and inhibited.

Modesty becomes a bad thing when it is used to make women feel responsible if men are tempted to rape them.

Modesty becomes a bad thing when it is confused with shame.

Modesty becomes a bad thing when people take it upon themselves to judge whether another person is being modest enough, or not.

There are times when modesty is not prudent.

^ I agree with this.

I'd say though that the true virtue of modesty is much more about humility and pureness of heart than it is about clothes. Making someone else feel ashamed of their clothes just because you don't approve of them is not modesty.

I will agree in a heartbeat that humility is an excellent virtue.

But that's not to say that "Pride" is a bad thing, right across the board, either.

There is legitimate pride, and toxic pride
