Of course, this has no chance to be passed, and even if it was, exactly what could the church do to enforce it, but seriously - is that guy completely insane? (sigh) This one suspects that zombies ate his brain while he wasn't looking.

    Heard it all before.

    (referring to the story, not calling you out for posting it)

    Women, said Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, can't be trusted to clothe themselves properly.


    It's worse than I thought.

    It seems like wearing miniskirts outside in Russia would be a bad idea anyway.

    The Russian winter is what separates the REAL attention whores from the wannabes.

    Very relevant.

    I'd consider wearing miniskirts in Russia a symptom of madness rather than a cause :P

    I can see where they're coming from, but facepalm nonetheless at the extremely misogynistic way of going about it, and they really don't have any right to try taking it to the state level.

    Blaming women for the male gaze. Typical.

    It just annoys me when women wearing t-shirts with text on them complain about people looking at their chest. Maybe if there wasn't anything to read, I wouldn't be trying to, hmm? :P

    Well, to be fair there's rather little other reason for voluntarily wearing something that skimpy.

    Women dress mostly for themselves, not for men. There are plenty of reasons to wear sexy things without trying to attract a mate; sometimes it's just fashionable or comfortable.
