This may make me sound like an asshole, but the fact that I should feel obligated to "cover up" because someone else may feel offended is deeply irritating to me. I am not saying I would deliberately try to upset someone by doing something flagrantly agitating and on purpose, but I don't feel as though I should have to accommodate people whose beliefs I do not share. This does not mean I should or would incite them out of anger, but that tolerance needs to extend in both directions. For example, I don't think it's right to put up a racy billboard in a community where the predominant demographic is Hasidic, but if I am on a bikini and I'm riding my bicycle and need to pass through this neighborhood, I think it would be absurd to ask I cover up.

That being said, and also in consideration of the fact that I am biased (an Atheist), there is something deeply agitating to me about religious people making demands on others based on their beliefs. It is intrusive. Everyone has the right, in theory, to live freely. You can't start making demands of people to "cover up" because the sight of a bare leg is offensive because of the way you were raised. There has to be a point where you rationally evaluate opinions. Not every opinion is valid - especially not those made on subjective beliefs. We all have our subjective beliefs, but we shouldn't expect others to organize their lives around our personal discomfort.
