On the modesty debate can we all agree that it is entirely subjective?
Not even all Muslim women view modesty objectively - some wear an all black abaya that covers everything from head to toe, and others just wear a scarf then dress normal or however they define modesty. Then there are Muslim women who don't wear a head covering at all.
Even with non Muslim women modesty is entirely subjective.
As a Muslim wearing a headscarf, I love fashion and colour but wouldn't be comfortable wearing a short dress outside (although I used to), however I will alway support women to dress however they want.
In fact the main reason I and many other Muslim women wear a headscarf is because it's part of our identity and simply a religious commitment similar to how Jewish men may wear a kippah.
Also, Islamically it has little to do with modesty as men are told to "lower their gaze" and be respectful of women regardless of what they are wearing.
Think of it this way; if there is a woman wearing a string bikini in Asda people will notice - not just men, but Muslim men are taught to lower their gaze, be respectful and not stare or make her feel uncomfortable.
Most of the issues around modesty are cultural - a common example is blaming rape victims for what they were wearing...which always comes up despite religion.
I think as women we need to realise what true oppression is and be supportive of eachother instead of all this bashing.
