I wasn’t going to reply to yoshi figuring: why bother. I changed my mind after seeing a few supporting posts) your assumption that I go to grocery stores, drive my car, go to simchas, walk down the street (or wherever you may find me) is to ogle women is baseless.

What I wrote in my post is what my wife and I tell our teen and pre-teen girls (a little practical advice and chinuch in tzinus):

1) don’t stretch and/or bend down in front of men (in a store or anywhere)

2) be careful in how you sit and how you rise (in a restaurant, from a car or even at home)

and… you should be careful to wear proper attire so that if you do need to reach for something or stand up (of whatever) you maintain a proper level of tzinus

…and let’s not forget, besides the Yidden that are shopping in the stores, there are also a whole cast of characters from parts unknown (south of the border) that look at our wives and daughters.
