It's that women of the world are dressing in such a manner that modesty stands out on it's own.
A man dressing modestly doesn't stand out in this world. If the majority of men began wearing skirts. dresses or otherwise clothed themselves in a manner that showed off their bodies... then we would.
A modestly dressed woman, in this day and age, tends to stand out.

I get your point, and it's true that women tend to dress
immodestly more often than men....
But the thing is... it's not necessary to follow Pentecostal 'standards' to dress modestly. The women I work with pretty much all dress modestly - and very few of them follow the Pentecostal guidelines (well, none of them to be precise). Casting my mind quickly over the group, out of about 20 women I can only think of one that dresses in a way that would cause men to do a double-take. Oh, and she almost
always wears a skirt.
So that does bring us back full-circle to 'why are the women the ones who have all the dress standards' question.
