"While popular culture tends to disempower women by telling them they
must dress to get men to look at them, the modesty culture tends to
disempower women by telling them they must dress to keep men from
looking at them," said
Evans at the Q Ideas website. "In both cases, the impetus is placed on
the woman to accommodate her clothing or her body to the (varied and
culturally relative) expectations of men."
