speaking of modesty...

I found this old post on modesty thanks to the guys at the Bird and Babe Public House

They close with a humdinger of a quotation on immodesty by Arthur Pink

"Again, if lustful looking be so grievous a sin, then those who dress and
expose themselves with desires to be looked at and lusted after-as Jezebel, who
painted her face, tired her head, and looked out of the window (2 Kings
9:30
)-are not less, but even more guilty. In this matter it is only too
often the case that men sin, but women tempt them so to do. How great, then,
must be the guilt of the great majority of the modern misses who deliberately
seek to arouse the sexual passions of our young men? And how much greater still
is the guilt of most of their mothers for allowing them to become lascivious
temptresses?"
