There are two objectives of holiness dress standards that somewhat conflict with each other.
1. Modesty
2. Gender distinction
Now, I do understand that it is possible to obey both at the same time, but you have to admit, taking one or the other to an extreme would be counterproductive to the other. I guess, even in the wacky world of the UC, there is a need for balance!
But, if it came down to it, which of these is more important? Is it better to appear genderless (from what you wear, that is) or to look, ahem, overly "attractive" (to the opposite gender, that is)?
