Great post on Boundless about modesty, appropriate dress, and responsibility.

Then, it’s all too easy to fall into mild contempt. Why in the world, a woman may ask, should I have to guard how I dress just because some man can’t keep his mind out of the gutter?

To be sure, it’s a Christian man’s responsibility to fight lust and “keep his mind out of the gutter.” But I wonder if that question isn’t the mirror logic of a man who would ask: Why do I need to guard what I say simply because she reads more commitment into my words than I mean?
