I'm simply saying, somewhat slyly, if a modest person expresses indignation over, e.g., tales of shaving, but their modesty prevents their audience from understanding why this tale could be reasonably offensive (i.e., the difference between "I had to shave my body for my race" and "I had to shave my balls and everything. You know that bit right there? Yeah, I think blah blah blah"), their modesty is doing them a disservice in making them look even more like a fuddy-duddy. More exaggeratedly, if a person's sense of modesty kept their ankles so well covered in warm weather to the point of heat stroke, their modesty has done them a disservice less modest people wouldn't need to deal with.
