Namaste Aanandinii ji

You have clearly and completely articulated my thoughts on this subject. Thank you.

If the discussion is about women's dresses, invariably we tend to mix it up with the dress code in temple.

Thanks again for differentiating the two.

There should be no excuse, and allowing them only enables and perpetuates the problem, devalues the humanity of the victim and shuts down potential positive discourse to solve such problems. Where this kind of degradation of any person in a society exists there can be no maturation of culture.
