When it comes to the modesty issue, pants simply are NOT as modest as a skirt - there's no way around that. They just are not unless a tunic like top is worn long enough to cover the groin and hips area.
But then like I've said for years now if you're going to use the "modesty" point to condemn pants then men shouldn't be wearing them either.
It's problematic.
I still prefer skirts over pants. I like the distinction between feminine and masculine and since men in our culture do NOT wear skirts it is a definitive distinction between the genders.
Where I work the women wear pants almost exclusively and have commented about the fact I wear skirts and don't I find it hard to work, lift and carry dressed like that. LOL.
I just don't understand it. I don't understand why they wouldn't like at least to change it up occasionally and wear a skirt.
Anyhow..... I'm just rambling so I'll "split" the scene here.
