So what? It still makes no sense. It's like saying "Ooh, a guy wearing less than knee length shorts! I know, let's ban guys who eat filet-o-fishes!" It's just dumb and nonsensical.

Then that's a separate issue. If you want to criticize people who think jeans can't be worn modestly, that can't follow from/necessarily be associated with criticizing people who say wearing a less than full length skirt is immodest, because from an Islamic perspective, wearing less than a full length skirt is immodest without question.

That's not really relevant to whether your point was valid.. "there was 0 logic/sense behind blah blah, so let me address blah blah with even less logic/sense"
Also, as an aside regarding whether it's important or not that people (guys & girls both, gotfiveonit-esque gender advocacy aside) are modestly dressed, remember that according to the Prophet (SAW), the innate character of our deen is modesty.. if part of the purpose of the MSA is to create an Islamic environment, it certainly is important.
