We, on this board, know why...

Ogden Standard-Examiner reporter Morgan Briesmaster recently showed up to cover a trial, and security told her she couldn't enter the courtroom in her attire.

The offending outfit? A sleeveless blouse with a high neckline, shown here, that looks pretty professional in our opinion.

For me, false modesty is a much greater evil than bare shoulders. The hypocrisy of a religion that pretends to be more than moral and yet has a founding 'Prophet' who exploited young girls and married women for his own desires would be laughable if it wasn't tragic.

I don't find bare shoulders evil in even the most minor degree. I'm wondering, however, which one of the FP/12 gets a woody when he sees bare shoulders.

:lol:

Maybe all of them. A sexy woman without garments might be the secret dream of all Apostles. Probably, from their point of view, anything enticing would be evil.

I'm sure the security guard at the courthouse felt a little lust before he threw the young lady out.

It was the high neckline guys. Them bailiffs need to see a little cleavage.

I have always just assumed that on anything like this (bare shoulders, cleavage, sculpted rear end, leggings, etc.), that the "immodest" call is the direct result of the physiological response of the particular male making the determination.

It never entered my mind that these might possibly be intellectual decisions. :wink:

We all know, EmilyAnn, that if a man is inappropriately attracted to a woman it's her fault for being cute. It's all about that Garden of Eden apple thing. :wink:

Maybe burkas are a good idea.

Of course, this lady has sexy eyes. She should really wear sun glasses.

Well Night, the Church does not approve of sleeveless blouses (a Mormon lady can't wear garments with those). I hear that may be changing.

I'm quite sure that no other court in the nation (outside of Utah) would have prevented that reporter from entering the proceedings because of her blouse.

Just more quasi-religious silliness.

Since it is always a good idea to have Islamic female head coverings properly designated, please see below.

As you can see, a Burka would in fact obviate the need for sunglasses.
