Tell the acknowledging men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, for that is purer for them. God is fully aware of what you do.

[24:30-31] Righteous men and women should not dress provocatively. A woman should lower her dress (33:59) and cover her chest. God uses flexible language, to allow culture, time, climate, age, and social dynamics and other variables play a role in the decision. The underlying reason for this recommendation is expressed as protection of women from potential male harassment. There is nothing in the Quran that instructs the government or the society to force women, in the name of God, to cover themselves. A punishment neither in this world nor in hereafter is issued. While the male clerics and the followers of their misogynistic teachings are sunk up to their eyebrows in the mud of shirk, the only unforgivable sin, somehow they scrupulously split the hair of women. Does sanctifying the dress code of Christian nuns have anything to do with their psychological and sexual problems? The verses recommending women to cover themselves aim to protect them from the harassment of unrighteous men. Ironically, women are now harassed more by the self-righteous men. It is up to women, not men, how long they will lower their dress, whether they will cover their breasts or not. It is a different thing to remind a monotheist woman nicely to wear modestly for her protection and perhaps for social order. But, using this issue to patronize and subjugate women is not what the Quran expects from us. Even worse than this, is to impose this recommendation onto those women who are not muslims, since that violates many more Quranic principles. The male clerics who covered their intelligence by their obsessive interference with women's hair and dress, do not even notice the lesson in verse 7:26. Despite the verse informing us that women were walking in the street with their faces open in front of Muhammed (33:52), they still have the audacity to preach to women to cover their faces with veils. See 33:55. For the Biblical account of women's dress, which is mostly ignored by Christians, see Genesis 24:65; Jeremiah 4:30; Ezekiel 16:10; Zephaniah 1:8 ; 1Timothy 2:9; 1 Peter 3:3; 1Corintions 11:15.
