A survey designed by Christian "girls" asking the opinions of Christian "guys" on the topic of modest dress for women: What is modest, why modesty is important.
Here's one guy explaining modesty:
"Immodest: Screams that her body is different than mine. Attempts to manipulate me. Forcefully offers to trade what I want (in the flesh) for what she wants: attention (male, age 30)."
Check out his strong language! Female bodies "scream at," "manipulate," and "force" him. Michael Kimmel quoted in the linked article: "Women's beauty is defined as violence to men."
But check it- it's up to women to make sure they dress modestly, but it's up to men to define what modesty even means.
Anyway, it's interesting to think about the violence that the men feel Lulu's beauty does to them, as opposed to the actual real physical violence our characters enact.
