The first comment sums it up best:

"Your lusts are your issue. A woman should be safe even naked in your presence. If she isn't it is YOUR fault, not hers."

Lusts are as natural as young women dressing in a seductive manner.

Get over it America, you can't change it.

There's another side to the coin. For example there are teenage girls that show up to church wearing sweats with the words "PINK" or "JUICY" across their asses. That's just disrespectful.

Agreed on both points.

I agree with you that lust is natural. Controlling that lust is the important thing. I don't expect women to control lustful men. I expect the men to control themselves.

The "Pink" and "Juicy" bit is just cheap in my opinion. Not at all seductive IMO.

Would you want your daughter to wear that?

No, but I'd let my wife wear one that says "Black & Blue"

Because the purpose of church is to learn. As such it is tradition to dress modestly so that an individual doesn't draw attention away from the preacher. In many modern Christian cultures women still wear headscarves. Headscarves are also somewhat popular fashion accessories in the USA however we seem to have forgotten their religious roots.



There is a similar unwritten dress code for weddings. A woman never outdresses the bride. Never.

It's the same thing with schools. Schools generally have dress codes that limit what students can wear. Those rules try to establish an environment where learning is the focus instead of a fashion contest. Some schools go so far as to have uniforms.
