Once I was walking down the street wearing a shirt reaching my thigh and covering my butt. A group of western cultural people were hanging out by the side of the street. When those western cultural people saw me, they made fun of me for wearing “oversized” shirt. They yelled at me mocking: “Your shirt is reaching your knuckles! You need an alteration!”
This incident helped me a lot to understand the dress habit of western cultural people. A shirt that is considered “oversized” in western culture if that shirt is long enough to cover your butt because you are supposed to flaunt your butt in public in order to seek sexual attention of the people of opposite sex. You are not able to flaunt your butt in public in tight pants if you wear a shirt long enough to cover your butt or if you don’t tuck in your long shirt.

I prefer to use the term “western cultural people” instead of “westerners” to describe people who follow western culture. This is because we usually use the term “westerners” to describe people living in the west predominantly Caucasian people. But the term “western cultural people” refers to the followers of western culture regardless of their residence and race. For example, a Jewish woman living in Israel can be called a “western cultural person” if she follows western culture.
Flaunting sensitive body parts such chest, butt, and genital in public in order to get sexual attention of the people of opposite sex is a norm of the western culture. What I mean by flaunting chest, butt, and genital is not uncovering these organs in public although it is the case sometimes on special days or in special places, such as Pants Down Day, Go Naked Day, clothing optional beaches, and so on. What I mean by flaunting chest, butt, and genital is revealing size and shapes of these organs in tight clothing.
I also want to make it clear why I call chest, butt, and genital “sensitive” organs. A person can easily get sexually aroused when his or her chest, butt, and genital are touched by a person of opposite sex. Also, A person can easily get sexually aroused if they see the chest, butt, and genital of a person of opposite sex. What I mean by sexually aroused or stimulated is not getting an orgasm. What I mean by sexually aroused or stimulated is to have the desire to have sex. For example, if a man is walking behind a woman on the sidewalk and if the woman is revealing the shape and size of her buttocks in skin tight jeans or yoga pants, then the man desires to have sex with that woman in his mind even if he needs to force that woman into submission.

Some may argue that it is okay as long as you don’t put your sinful or criminal desires into action. But we need to keep it in mind that we often lose control over our bodies and our bodies are often led by our sinful or criminal desires. When our bodies are led by our sinful or criminal desires, we commit sin or criminal activities. Not flaunting chest, butt, and genital is not an absolute protector or shield against sexual violence. But no doubt it can reduce sinful or criminal desires of our mind.
Having sinful or criminal desires is dangerous because it often leads us to sinful or criminal activities. Note that I am not saying the western culture is the worst culture in all possible ways. I am not condemning all aspects of the western culture. This article concerns western cultural dress only.

When I first moved to the west, I was told to adopt the western culture entirely no matter what. I refused to do so because I did not want to adopt bad things that western culture promotes, such as nudity, gambling, and alcoholism. Each culture has both good and bad sides including my back home culture. Our job is to accept the good things of a culture and reject the bad things of a culture. We should not blindly follow whatever a culture promotes because we are not a bunch of dumb sheep.
Once I was talking to a young western cultural man on YouTube who was mocking Muslim men’s and women’s non-transparent loose outer garment. I asked a that young western man how he feels knowing that each and every guy in the street knows what size and shape his mother’s buttocks are. Believe it or not, he confessed that it makes him embarrassed. I wish all western people would feel the same way...
