Cover Yourself!

I've noted in another post that I'm offended when I see women who are fully covered.

I find it offensive that women - not men - are told it's their responsibility to be 'modest'.  

What of the modesty of men?  Men have huge egos.  Where is their sign of modesty?  

If I see men walking around covered from head to toe in a shapeless fabric, I'll believe there's more to this than the subjugation of women.  

When all women have the choice to cover or not cover, and men make similar choices for similar reasons, it will make sense to me.

Until then, I've linked to a blog post by Seattle Times photographer Erika Schultz in which she presents many women who cover.
