No make-up is a sign of purity. No pants are also a sign of not usurping maleness. Jewelry is for wanton women wanting to beautify themselves. YW sees neighboring pastor's wife trim some hair just to fluff it a bit and she also wears a wedding ring. YM is taught that the liberals are probably not saved. YM looks around her church and sees a few wedding rings. YM becomes confused and expresses concern. YM is told she should not judge others and that she is usurping the pastor's authority by being concerned. YM is reminded to keep her place and stop usurping authority.

=Confusion. Depression. Oppression.

unfortunately this is also true. What is the answer ?
