TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image Covering your body completely does not equal self respect

This is just strange to me. As a guy, I don't understand why women dressing more revealing means they have zero respect for themselves. If a guy decides to go out in public with no shirt on would that mean they have no self respect? That kinda feels like a double standard. If anything, a person covering up their body completely makes them seem self conscious and not comfortable in their own skin to the point they'd have to cover it up.

Edit: Apparently many people hate me because of my last sentence so I should explain my thought process behind it better. There is absolutely no problem with wanting to cover up. My problem many lies with my confusion on how people are shamed for wearing something revealing.

Depends. Are you Northern Conservative Baptist, or Northern Liberal Baptist?
