Just because our modern culture has equated the two doesn't mean we should roll over and say "oh, well I guess it's ok then."<BR/><BR/>I'm NOT saying that guys have no responsibility.

While I can't speak for Everyday Mommy's intentions, my own interest in this is more focused on being disgusted with the fashion trends for girls these days.

I think that <BR/><BR/>(a) Men and boys should be modest too. I'm not going to lie, I've had my lusty moments while watching shirtless men play sports.
