I absolutely love this. It is amazing to me when research can support religious values and morals. Great guy as well, go to know that there are guys out there who are trying to get us girls to cover up. Loved it.

The argument here is the same as to why some people say women SHOULD wear bikinis. "We should dress modestly because men like it better when we do."
I think women should respect themselves, and the shame in dressing "immodestly" comes from dressing for male attention – not with how short our skirts are or how deep our V-necks are. If you're wearing that tight dress because you want men to look at you, that's a shame. If you're wearing that long skirt because you want men NOT to look at you, that's a shame. If you're wearing that tight dress because it makes you feel amazing and like you can conquer the world, you go girl.
There's no reason women should cover up simply because men don't know how to treat women right. The guy who is going to treat you like an object when you're wearing a leopard miniskirt is the guy who is going to treat you like an object when you're wearing a "modest outfit".
I have nothing against dressing modestly. I think women should respect themselves and going overboard with the sexy gives people the wrong impression about you. I just think women should do it for the right reasons.

Thanks for sharing this. I especially loved him pointing out how the designer could not find any runway models who would wear a two piece when it originally debuted. It doesnt show how untolerant people were back in the day it shows how today we let the media tell us what to wear instead of thinking for ourselves. I have always found it ironic as well that most of the really famous designers are men, not women. Something to ponder about their intentions…

I think it's important to point out that this video misrepresents grossly the findings of the actual study. The findings were actually statistically insignificant.

Compelling but the video didn't address some critical cultural questions.
Men's reactios are based on whether a woman is skimply dressed RELATIVE to other women. If every woman started dressing conservatively, men are going to begin having such 'objectifying' reactions to women who deviate even slightly from the conservative norm. Just witness the reaction of a Saudi Arabian man to a woman who shows her ankles. So the logical end goal of a social agenda that tells girls and women to "dress conservatively, so as to keep boys from objectifying you" is really to have them cover up completely. 
The only real solution to objectification is to train boys and men to respect women however they dress. Think it isn't possible?  Just visit Singapore and Hong Kong on a Saturday night. Young women can and do walk home ALONE in the night in short skirts and dresses and men do not touch them. Rapes are barely heard of. Why? Because macho, disrespectful behavior by boys is not tolerated at schools or anywhere else.
