Victorian Virtue?

I was recently doing a crossword puzzle and the clue to a 7-letter word was "Victorian virtue". The word ended up being "modesty". When I look up the word "Victorian" in my dictionary, I see this definition: "typical of the moral standards, attitudes or conduct of the age of Victoria esp. when considered stuffy or hypocritical." When I look up the definition of "modesty" I read: "propriety in dress, speech or conduct." So I have to ask the question, "What is stuffy or hypocritical about propiety in dress speech or conduct?" My humble opinion is that we need lots more "stuffiness and hypocracy" if that is the case. Women and little girls walking around in clothes that cover less than half of their bodies could use more of this virtue. Young men who are wearing pants that are way-too-tight and revealing or that are way-too-big and hanging too low showing off too much underneath could use a little more of this virtue. Recently there were a couple of big news items about women who were not allowed to fly on a certain airline because they were considered to be improperly dressed for flying. Good for that airline! When a woman who is not wearing underpants and is wearing a way-too-short skirt steps up on the seat to put her bag in the overhead compartment, thereby revealing way too much of her assets, something needs to be done. When a man walks into a courthouse wearing way-too-big pants that are riding just above the knees thereby revealing way too much of his assets, someone needs to intervene. Obviously modesty should be taught at home at a very early age. If it has not been so taught, society has a right to step up to the plate and encourage or enforce modest dress and behavior. Modesty is NOT "Victorian". It is not stuffy. It is not hypocritical. Modesty is considerate. It is prudent. It is appropriate. It is right.
