Shifting shades of provocative attire...
 

Ha! I saw a sentence in the news about China today that I could not ignore. I have suggested the same in the past pertaining to the role custom and culture play in how various groups of people dress and define themseves.
(The important premise being that fashion and meaning change over time).

I have asserted in the past that IF the church tradition began with everyone wearing pants; the rule today would be that women not be allowed to wear dresses because that would be too sexy. It seems that someone in China might likewise agree....

From today's news (article ommited because of content although it can obviously be googled.)

"The park’s manager, Lu Xiaoqing, defended the venture late last week and bemoaned the lack of sexual openness in a country where just three decades ago it was seen as provocative for a woman to have long hair or to wear a skirt."

I am not staying to post; just couldn't leave without commenting! :tumbleweed

Lol.....well, I googled and my, my.

However, your point is taken.

Just as we are discussing on the "hair" thread - - - culture seems to play a role to some (and not to others).

Back in the late 1950's I used to get a newsletter from Bro. Ralph Bullock. He was an Apostolic missionary in Hong Kong. There were pictures of some of the church members and women and men both looked alike in padded "pajama looking" two piece (pants and top) outfits.

To some extent, I think that God intended the genders to be distinct in appearance for the purpose of attraction between them.

That's certainly apparent in the way He fashioned our bodies!

I DO agree that long hair and a dress on a woman are more attractive than pants and very short hair. The fact that some other government views it as "provocative" is of no consequence to me. :D
