Improvement suggestions:
1. Don't insult someone for their choice in artwork/avatars.
2. Don't go all philosophical on a post when someone is asking for help because she's hurting. (Not all post are equal.)
3. Just because a man's mind goes there doesn't mean all men's minds go there nor do all women's minds go there. I was a big fan of Dark Angel. Same reason I'm a big fan of Buffy and Fringe. I love powerful women. I'm tired of women having to choice between being a sex object or strong. We can choose sexy and strong. We don't have to. We have other choices freely given to us. Granted, all those shows are too humanistic, but my frustration is in the church too. I'm really tired of the assumption all Christian women should be wearing frumpy outfits and keep their heads low just because men can't control themselves. And, if you think that's saying something about my choices? Some is. (I AM strong -- mentally, emotionally, and I could use more strength on the spiritually.) Some isn't. I AM frumpy! I am frumpy because it's comfortable and wearing unfrumpy causes more pain in my pain area, (right around my waist, so I really can't wear anything that is tight there, including traditional pants or skirts), not to make men decide things about me by my looks.
It does have that going for it though. If all someone is interested in is in my looks, then like Lihle, I've got my shield covering me for that one. No one takes a second notice of me. BUT if you see past looks? Then I have something to offer.
So, no, really not about what men see when they see a women. That was Lihle's problem to begin with. This is women offering solutions/advice/thoughts to what men see. We've already been trained well in the art of making the right man notice us.
4. Sometimes what hits the mind isn't the voice of God. (This is what hit my mind, but I strongly suspect it's not God's voice. lol)
Since you asked for ways to improve. (I'm not touching how Zoii is probably going to react to this one.
)

Remember, we're not supposed to judge one another according to the flesh. [2 Corinthians 5:16; John 8:15] Jesus said if we judge people by what we're looking at, that's judging by human standards, not God's standards. I'm sure Jesus didn't mention a word about clothing when throngs of people were following hard after Him looking for life and light. Ya know?
I think the worst offense on this site are those who are continually spewing out advice to others and they themselves never humble themselves nor accept correction.
It's always an awesome blessing when someone takes accountability for their error and apologizes publicly as a testimony of the grace of Jesus Christ. You will see the forum just light up with rejoicing every time someone is humble and reconciles with whomever they hurt.
You can tell God's people by their tenderness and love toward others... and by their love for God with a humble spirit.
"Love does not seek its own way."

Yes I rather thought of that...she wasn't clear if these men were sexually harassing her,or merely flirting with her.Not sure what danger she is in.If she is in danger,like someone else posted she needs to find a male family member or Christian husband and wife,someone to help protect her from dangerous men.
