I do not view the world via current totally relaxed morality.
I see a level of morality is required to create a balance in society.

I prefer much much less regulation of our lives.
Government...religion...too many there lust to
control others. That's the real "lust" problem.
Ungalitarianism?
Morality is great.
Buy why do you want all to dress modestly?
Nope, not missed anything, but just having fun. As i am sure you are
NoGalitarianism. Clothes that won't let you tell who the heck is wearing them.

Oh dear, the terrible oppression suffered by the oppressors must be the basis of all analysis.
How about just eliminating oppression, rather than
expanding it to all, eh. Otherwise women might find
themselves drafted into the next war, with men getting
the chance to stay home.
I don't have dimples, but I am told that women seem to find them attractive. In order to curb these lusting lasses, I propose mandatory beards in all males old enough to grow them. We could call it the ZZ Top law. It would be the lust eliminator for any sharp dressed man.
If guys or gals want to dress immodestly,
their reasons should be their own.
No need to justify it to you, me, or religion.

Yes, I know, I need the whole thing being mansplained by some guy on the internet. Meanwhile, while I'm not an Israeli, the whole question about women and the draft . . . ..
My wife and I were on a nude beach on the campus of an all-inclusive. The first day, she took her top off, and I was looking at the women. By day two, I had lost interest in bare breasts. The women in bathing suits looked better. And my wife stopped going topless by the second day, once she began recognizing people on the beach. She could be topless for strangers only.
We also visited Kenya, and saw a local Maasai dance, in which there was a thirteen year old girl dancing topless along with several older women. I guess bare breasts aren't considered a sexual stimulus there. They did want their backsides so covered in the thatching of their skirts that you couldn't make out its contour, but breasts were fine.
I was very uncomfortable as this girl danced by me and innocently smiled a beautiful smile at me. I was conflicted even looking at her, probably a crime in my world. She was attractive, albeit not sexually - or at least I had no desire to know her sexually. She was just beautiful. Yet I was experiencing cognitive dissonance. That's all me, I know.
I agree with you, but for different reasons. I generally won't look at an orphan link - a link being the argument rather support of a presented argument - for a variety of reasons, but lack of effort isn't one of them. My experience is that if you do respond to the link, you find out that the person leaving it didn't understand it, or it wasn't relevant, or the person wasn't interested in the part you responded to, and there is nobody to respond to your reaction since the author isn't there.
That type of liberty breaks down civilizations.
Standards are required.

I have a friend from Mali, and she told me it was very very common for mothers to walk around topless, in public even. And no one would ever gawk at them, because that was culturally taboo. It was a respect afforded to mothers, who had work to do and babies to feed.
Sometimes mansplaining is just splaining.
How else will you know if no one splains it to you, eh.
My experience is that many people are convinced that they
have The Truth. And if anyone else would just read this book
or that link, they'd come away with the same understanding.
Nah.
Issues are often more complex than they've expressed in
a brief post. And lengthy links address more material than
is relevant to the post's claim.
So why invest the time to wade thru the link to glean the
particular meaning that the claimant wants to convey, if they
won't summarize it?
Some here (who shall go nameless) even tell others to search
the internet....they don't even provide links.
Good discussion technique is supporting one's claims in
a manner that conveys thoughts & evidence efficiently
to one's audience.
What civilizations broke down cuz of immodest dress?
From what I observe, the worst countries are the ones
with the greatest control over dress, eg, Afghanistan
under the Taliban, N Korea.
