Men are far more visual creatures than women...that's why Sports Illustrated Swimsuit sells out everywhere and Playboy is sold in nearly every book store. Don't get me wrong...sometimes dresses and skirts can be just as immodest. But more often a dress or skirt can be both stylish and modest where most pants today aren't. So I side with the conservative brethren in that I believe women should wear modest dresses or skirts.

I do not agree. I am a healthy guy and I tend to think that dresses and skirts tend to be designed to be more sexual and sensual. Pants if worn tight, just like a skirt or dress, are certainly not modest.
Lets just leave Bible out for a minute here. I work in a building that has four floors. I walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator because I was getting a bit lazy. The other day I heard something above me and I looked up. Guess what I saw? A lady walking down the stairs on the insie near the railing that is open. I could see everything. Her skirt was modest, it was long, it was loose. I still saw everything. I decide that from now on I can not look up when in the stairwell at work. Then I got thinking about it. ALL places I have been have these open stair wells. Been to a two story mall lately? The ones I have seen have glass railings. If a lady stands beside the rail and is wearing a skirt or dress if you are below her and look up guess what you will see.
I think the traditions that have been taught are very hard for some to let go of. I think we need to really remember that God gave us a mind to think fo ourselves. We are taught in the BIBLE that we are to seek out our own salvation with fear and trembling. We need to allow God to do a work in people and we need to stop doing our work in people.
