No matter that the standards also serve as a way to limit a woman's literal freedom of movement.

I've studied (informally) cross-cultural religious expression and have come to the conclusion that in more conservative expressions of various religious belief systems, women are more limited and have more rules than men in matters of dress.

*shrug* It becomes a problem for me when it's made a matter of "holiness or hell." Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Exactly.
