Modesty & Sexism

UPDATE: I’ve switched out a few of the photos to ensure they are public domain.

In the combox at Ashely McGuire’s “Case for a Catholic Dress Code”, a reader argues that such dress codes are sexist — what with all the talk being about short skirts and cleavage.

So let’s clear something up: Men should not wear tight, skimpy clothing to Mass.  Here’s a picture tutorial to assist.

1. Skirt meet knees, knees meet skirt:

Yes.

No.

 

2. Cover the shoulders.

Yes.

No.

3. No cleavage.

Yes.

No.

4. Tailored yes, tight no:

Yes.

No.
