This page is a sort of amalgam. As the word is frequently use, it focuses on appropriate forms of dress and the perception of appropriateness or inappropriateness of exposing one's body to public display. As such it might be thought to serve as an antithesis to pornography. However, it is not felt that this is necessarily the best use of the word, and it certainly does seem to be a bit hijacked. More broadly, the word also serves as a synonym for humility. Much of what this page will cover, however, is information relating to societal attitudes towards body exposure and attractiveness, and, secondarily, other behaviors which might be an outward indicator of humility, or the lack thereof. | |||

Notes
This page is a sort of amalgam. As the word is frequently use, it focuses on appropriate forms of dress and the perception of appropriateness or inappropriateness of exposing one's body to public display. As such it might be thought to serve as an antithesis to pornography. However, it is not felt that this is necessarily the best use of the word, and it certainly does seem to be a bit hijacked. More broadly, the word also serves as a synonym for humility. Much of what this page will cover, however, is information relating to societal attitudes towards body exposure and attractiveness, and, secondarily, other behaviors which might be an outward indicator of humility, or the lack thereof.
