Thought you were really at the UN for a minute! I think this topic is long overdue. I believe that many women will be open to the idea of positive modesty.
I think the topic has been broached in many ways and is approached positively. There's a fascinating overlap of modesty, rethinking fashion choices due to ethical issues, and realizing that showing skin or wearing tight clothes isn't the epitome of style. This is a trend I've noticed online and throughout other media print for nearly a decade.
I'm a Swedish professor*, currently my hair isn't pink (has been during the past year though) but I have an undercut and regularly wear a cat ear beanie (including to work). Feeling very accurately represented!
*) Technically "lecturer", but I just got an email addressed to "Hello Prof. <lastname>" so I suspect the finer points aren't appreciated by that many.

Ha, same here!

You’re right, there’s been a shift in how modesty, ethics, and style are interconnected. Thank you for your comment!
That’s encouraging to hear! I hoped the UN setting would be a good backdrop for diverse cultural discussion.
Very thoughtfully written. Interesting that you set it up as a UN session, love how they turned off your mic (not that you deserved it 😊)
CB, I always look forward to your comments. I really enjoyed writing this one!

The only thing that could make me happier is if someone from Saudi Arabia or Türkiye said the same thing!
