The fact that God had to command the Levites to wear breeches to cover their nakedness testifies to the fact that they weren't common attire. Else they would have been wearing them anyway. So, they do not represent the average Israelite male. They were an inner garment, worn under their robes, that only went just past the knee. Prove me wrong.
The three Hebrews weren't even in Israel. They were captives serving the royal court of Babylon. They were dressed in the appropriate Babylonian attire, which included trousers. They even had Babylonian names. So, they do not represent the average Israelite male, back in Israel. Prove me wrong.

There can be little doubt other Hebrew men wore them as well. Still looking for that ONE godly female to have worn them. The conspicuous and total lack of evidence suggests you have none.

No one will find a reference to the average Israelite male or female wearing pants, because pants weren't common attire for either in Israelite culture. Prove me wrong.

Keep twisting and squirming. Its sad but entertaining.
The fact remains:
God told the Levites to wear them and we know three godly young men wore them.

Both examples are dismissed. Besides only one example actually describes actual trousers that could have been worn outside a robe. Prove me wrong.
You'll not find the average male or female wearing pants as common attire in ancient Israel.

It's nice to know that your wife "wears the pants in your family".

I think you're just not wanting to surrender your ladies Jordache, with the pretty pink sequins in a heart shape on the behind. After all, you are the one demanding that they be considered men's attire. Not me.
