Mr Hoffman, thank you for your article. I read it with great interest. We are hosting granddaughters this summer whose choice of swimwear is immodest. This has motivated me to question my own choice of daily clothing so for a week now I have worn a skirt everyday and I can sense a change in my attitude towards myself. I cleaned out my closet of shorts. I researched the history of immodest swimwear-the bikini was invented by a French MAN, who tried to hire models to advertise his invention, all of whom refused. He found a French prostitute who agreed to model the scandalous swim attire which made its way into films, magazines, and television, and finally acceptance by the culture. I’ve even witnessed young teens wearing “booty” shorts at the Holy Sacrifice. When asked by my friend, the priest refused to address immodest clothing saying this was for the “bushas” (grandmas in Polish) and the mamas. We desperately need a revival of modesty and reverence. And I sincerely regret and repent of my own immodesty and vow to make reparation by my own example without judging or looking down on others. Thank you for suggesting this movie. I’m looking forward to watching it.
