It's this simple and primal.

Anyone who has an issue with a young lady wanting to appear attractive is the issue not the young lady.

You have a point there, but "Pink and Juicy?" That doesn't have anything to do with looks. That's a verbal invitation.

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.

I think Noone gets this but none of the rest of you seem to. As with burkas, chador and veil, this is about men being ashamed of their natural procreative urges and expecting women to take ownership of them and shield them from them. It's unnatural and paternalistic.

Asking parishioners to dress appropiately is hardly a burka but of course discernment died long ago.

I don't find a "juicy" ass inviting in the least.
Move that sign to the front and I'll listen...

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"

Nothing about that scarf that prevents me from saying "Ooo La La" with respect to the lass in that picture.

Kind of reminds me of one of the sexiest scenes ever in a movie, when Lauren Bacall, fully dressed, asked Bogey if he knew how to whistle.
