What is Modesty?

http://www.therebelution.com/modestysurvey/browse

Okay, here's another link.

Please read it, I found it extremely interesting.

A young girl had the idea for a Modesty Survey, and two teenage boys made it happen.

The Modesty Survey is a bunch of statements about girl's modesty that thousands upon thousands of boys either agree, strongly agree, disagree, strongly disagree or are nuetral towards. And they comment.

For example:

"Showing any cleavage is immodest"

36.6% strongly agree
33.8% agree
14.7% nuetral
12.7% disagree
2.3% strongly disagree

an example of a boys comment:

"This cannot be emphasized enough. Cleavage is perhaps the most "come and lust after me" thing a girl can show while still wearing clothes."

Some might find this offensive, some may find it extremely helpful, some may think it's untrue. But i found it interesting, and certainly worth a look.

  1. That survey truly made me feel like a horrible person D:
    I am really not a particularly modestly dressed person.

  2. hahaha

    well we should take into consideration that we live in australia, and most of the boys who commented on the survey live in America. That being a factor because of the climate. Australia = hot = summer clothes.

    not to take too seriously... but it makes you think eh!

  3. It does make me think. Like some of it I don't agree with completely, because if we were to stick to all of that we'd look like nuns. But it really does make you think; so often girls don't think of how guys are seeing what we're wearing. I know i often have worn just a bikini with my male friends and I always forget how cruel that is.
