Not covering the knees at all or not covering the whole knee? Which holy men are looking so closely?

My response:

Your sarcasm is misplaced and unwelcome. Did it cross your mind that holy women have (also) noticed?

In any case – your response smacks of the ridiculous implication that the men shouldn’t have been looking and that it is therefore their fault for the issue. Basically, you give carte blanche to a woman to dress however she wants, reprimanding not her but the man who looks.

It’s not dissimilar to the nutcases who accuse rape victims of dressing provocatively and bringing it upon themselves. You, too, are confusing the ‘victim’ and the ‘transgressor’!
