Is it Really Our Job to “Protect Men” Through Modesty?

Growing up, every modesty talk I heard was always about this question. And, let me tell you – 14 year old me did not like this. I think it was this idea that made me reject modesty for so long and I know a lot of women who feel the same way. And honestly, I’ve …
