Cover up It seems it is becoming increasingly more popular for women in this country to "reveal" the upper ventral region of the human torso, an area that contains the organs that secrete milk, used to feed infants.
As tops get smaller and lower, this area has not changed in its position. Therefore, there's the problem of visibility; they are there for all the world to see. Have we no discretion? Whatever happened to keeping one's private parts, private? Perhaps it is a "movement" of some kind, a feminine movement, wanting to make a statement that it is all right to "bare it all."
And it has now crept into the church pews. Women are not covered in church as they should be.
The Bible says "I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God, 1st Timothy 2:9-10.
My mother never showed hers and I do not show mine and yet I feel as though I am an outsider. I ask myself, "Why is it OK to show them now but it was not OK then?" What is this saying about our sense of "propriety," our boundaries with other people? Is there nothing now to be kept private? Is everything to be in full view of the world?
I cannot help but think of termites and how they burrow through wood and rot it, but one cannot see the damage, until it is done.

Blame the movies that originally came out of California for a lot of this "exposure"...and I mean years and years ago. I get TCM (Turner Classical Movies) on my satellite, and even some of those movies in the 1930's and some prior to that era, came across with promiscuous "showings" and acting.
Seems even today, you go into public schools, the shopping malls; well, every place you go, and see only 1/6th of a woman's or girls body covered. To be honest, the "top" does not entice me in the least, no matter what or how much is shown or revealed. I pay no attention to it.
But, what is revealed by those revealing it, seems they are asking for problems or advertising theirs.
