(1) I am a gay man who was raised in a heteronormative world. A part of this world I have always been baffled by is "modesty" culture.

(2) The main premise of "modesty" culture is that women need to dress in a way that doesn't provoke sexual response in men. Which is insane.

(3) I think it is absolutely crazy that a man can look at a woman and say "I think you should wear something else, because seeing your skin

(4) makes me feel aroused. And that arousal is strong and I haven't learned how to appropriately manage it. So please change your clothes."

(5) This is BONKERS. Especially when men then start to claim that a woman is *worth* more if they dress a certain way. As if covering flesh

(6) somehow earns a woman value, all because it doesn't evoke a sexual response in men. And then, if a woman DOESN'T do this? Well now a

(7) man has the right to chastise a woman, call her names, say she is slutty and wicked. All because *he* is having a sexual response!

(8) Newsflash: women's worth is STATIC. It is inviolable. It doesn't change with what she does or doesn't wear. It doesn't change with sex.

(9) And a man's sexuality is HIS OWN RESPONSIBILITY.

(10) Wanna known I know this? It's because in my whole life I have never told another man how to dress even though a man's body arouses me.

(11) I have never told a man he should put his shirt on on a hot day when he is on a summer run. I have never demanded modesty from a guy.

(12) I have never expected men to stop wearing loose basketball shorts just because they might be revealing to me and turn me on.

(13) In fact, I have, my entire life, been in situations where men take ALL THEIR CLOTHES OFF RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME (locker rooms, etc.).

(14) And guess what? Even though I have felt aroused, I have never EVER blamed another man for that arousal. My arousal is about ME.Not him.

(15) I have never assualted another man for this. I have never raped another man for this. I have never claimed a man was "asking for it."

(16) A person's worth is static, inviolable, and begins the day they are born as a baby until the day they die. Clothes do not change this.

This verdict is justice served—but it is not justice for George Floyd. True justice would be a country where George Floyd would still be alive today. True justice demands action—it demands change & that we do everything we can to stop this from happening again & again & again.
