Re: Girls PJ's are Pants?
 
Pants in this country, as they are known today, have only been around for less than 300 years.

Our country's forefathers wore a knicker-type apparel, which would be considered immodest in the church today.

Today, we are a country made up of all countries, cultures, and beliefs. To say that pants are considered men's apparel, even historically, could send some laughing at the ignorance.

Why? Because in many countries, that's not true. It's just as absurd as suggesting that Middle Eastern men stop wearing their robes because they resemble dresses and dresses are considered women's attire.

Laughable.

What if a woman thinks that the fact that some people still consider women's slacks man's apparel is just plain silly and has nothing to do with holiness?

Does she have a bad spirit?

This is a picture of a woman wearing traditional Indian garb.

Would you say she's wearing men's apparel?
And if not, why not?

I'm not Elder but that is definitely not men's apparel. A man wouldn't be caught dead wearing that.

Men don't dress like that in this culture and Indian men don't dress like that in their own culture. It is distinctly and definitely women's apparel. And it's also VERY modest. :thumbsup

I haven't read all of these threads,but modesty is practical,part of modesty is being dressed proper for an occasion ,for example what might wear for jogging one wouldn't wear to a funeral.
But modesty also is being presentable,and also dressing in a way that isn't provactive.
Being modest is also not going to extremes for example a woman dressed in colonial attire is not proper in our society but a woman dressed like a hooker is not proper either.
A man dressed like a pilgrim who be odd in our society,but a man wearing a loin cloth only in our society won't be proper either.
To be honest I'm not a fan of woman's pants,but there are some activities where modest pants made for a woman would be better than a skirt.
Please Ucs. don't hate me for saying this
Say a young lady might need a job,and that job might require climbing ladders ,and this young lady might be a single mom or a young student struggling to pay her education expenses.Modest pants from a women's department would be better than a skirt for a job like this.
I love the conservatives dearly,but please don't hate me as I know many won't fellowship me anyways.
