At the [Malaysian] National Scholastic Chess Championship 2017, which took place in Putrajaya recently, the girl was informed that what she wore was "improper and had violated the dress code" for the tournament.
[...] The girl's chess coach, Kaushal Khandhar, wrote on Facebook, "In the middle of Round 2, (without stopping the clocks) Chief Arbiter informs my student that the dress she wore was improper and violated the dress code of the tournament.
"It was later informed (by Chief Arbiter) to my student and her mother, that the Tournament Director deemed my student's dress to be 'seductive' and a 'temptation from a certain angle far, far away'."
[...] Kaushal said after discussions with the chief arbiter, the girl was allowed to compete, provided she bought a pair of slacks for the next day, but that decision came at 10pm and with the event at Putrajaya, there was no way the girl's mother could buy anything for the 9am start the next day.
"Before the morning round next day, my student's mother called the tournament director regarding this matter. Initially he had replied that he was not aware of the situation but after a brief discussion, we realised he knew all the details on this incident prior to this phone call.
"He promised to return the call upon discussion with the chief arbiter, but this did not happen. He would further not answer or return any calls by my student's mother", Kaushal wrote, adding that the situation led to the inevitable decision of withdrawal from the tournament altogether."
We should perhaps note here that Malaysia is majority-Muslim.

Explain, please: Why should the men's lack of self-control be the women's problem?
That's just the way rules are written, by and for alphas with weak minds and a big gun. Don't know if it would be much different under a matriarchy. We blame the snake for tempting Eve. It's really a matter of convenience. It's easier to attack the leader than his multitude of followers that should be held responsible for their actions.
Heh, did the Christians get it right?
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Better than stoning the girl, right? But be careful, they don't elaborate on what to do with the remaining eye...

Whatever you do with remaining eye, do not look in laser.
For the billionth time, the part you quoted is also a part of Islam, because Jesus said it. The part you people are having a circle jerk (!) about having to do with dress codes is also a part of Christianity because it's in the Bible.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I should just close this tab and get back to work. Sometimes I have a great time poking fun at you idiots, but then I realize that this Christian jihad you want with Islam will probably go literally nuclear, and that makes me both sad and angry.
