and gets assaulted is not to blame for the crime committed against her. The girl who walks across campus at 2 a.m. Let’s be clear: victims of rape are not guilty of their rape. When a girl dresses scantily, goes to a college party, gets drunk, makes out with a dozen guys, and then is raped, for some there is a tendency to say, “Well, she was just asking for it.” This kind of victim-blaming, sadly, leads some to temper any compassion for such women when they are abused. This woman’s protest is, in part, motivated by a desire to fight various rape myths in our culture. A person is never guilty of another person’s sin. She wasn’t denying the claim that men lust after women, but she was emphatic that women are not to blame for a man’s lustful thoughts and actions. In a recent conversation, a woman I spoke with seemed deeply offended when I suggested a woman’s manner of dress could tempt a man to lust.

In addition, modest dress is also about discernment, having an awareness of others and our environment. Biblical modesty is primarily about our motivations. What has God revealed about it?įirst and foremost, a biblical definition of modesty must focus on the heart. Some simply cannot fathom, amidst all the great injustices in the world, that God actually cares if a girl wears skin-tight pants with the word “Juicy” written on them.īut in the end, it is the Word of God that should drive our discussions about modesty. 2006 90:1490–4.Modesty is a controversial topic, especially when you throw God into the mix.

This raises the possibility that repeat SLT should not be excluded as an option for those eyes that have only a modest initial response. The proportion of eyes that successfully responded to repeat SLT did not differ based upon whether the response to initial SLT was successful or modest. This outcome was similar when the analyses were performed for the right and left eye independently. Log rank analysis revealed no differences between M1 and S1 in determining SLT2 success (P = 0.41). The proportion of eyes with S2 was not significantly different between those with initial M1 or S1 (36.67% vs. IOP was significantly reduced from baseline in both SLT1 and SLT2. Chi-squared and log rank analyses were used to determine if success after SLT2 depended on having successful (S1) or modest (M1) response after SLT1. Successful response (S) was a post-treatment 12 month mean IOP reduction ≥ 20% from baseline, while modest response (M) was <20% reduction over the same time. Retrospective chart review was conducted of 51 eyes that received initial 360 degree SLT (SLT1) and subsequent SLT (SLT2) from 2003-2011 at a large academic ophthalmology practice. To evaluate the effectiveness of repeat selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in eyes exhibiting only a modest response upon initial treatment.
