A ‘Christian author’ who claims to be ‘helping men become healthy’ posed the question: “What if men were held to the same modesty standards as women?” It’s the kind of question a guy asks when he wants to let women know he’s progressive and he doesn’t care about looking weak and stupid. Feminists love stupid guys.
The reason that men and women have different standards for modesty is because men and women have different bodies. For you progressive readers, I’ll try to help you grasp this profound and complex concept.
Allow me to substitute something else for ‘women’ and ask the ‘Christian-Author-Helping-Men-Get-Healthy’ question again:
“What if men were held to the same modesty standards as humpback whales?”
Still lost? That’s okay! Here are few more:
“What if men were held to the same modesty standards as chimpanzees?”
“What if men were held to the same modesty standards as mannequins?”
“What if men were held to the same modesty standards as snowmobiles?”
Do any of those questions seem stupid to you? If not, I give up. Get down on your knees and beg God for some wisdom.
Christians, it’s not okay tell to me that the only difference between topless men and topless women is a social construct designed to oppress women. Shame on you. You didn’t learn that nonsense from scripture. You got that from hanging out with your secular ‘friends.’ (I’ll bet you thought you were ‘witnessing’ to them, right?)
The differences between guys and gals is God’s idea. It is not a social construct put in place to oppress women.
(1 Corinthians 11:11) In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
