Actually, it says why in one of the Books of the Apocrypha.
In the Book of Enoch, it’s explained that women cover themselves to stop fallen angels from raping them.
It explains this passage from the Bible in a lot greater detail:
Genesis Chapter 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually
It is the evil of these “giants” and “sons of God” (demons, according to the Book of Enoch) which force the women to dress the way they do.
This type of dress was eventually adopted by the Muslims.

Its purely a cultural thing, most that grew up here don’t seem to have a problem, but the guys from overseas seem overly aggressive.

Whether he is right or not he clearly developed this idea by observation. That is clear from his post.

I want to know what constitutes “respect for girls” in his eyes though.
