The issue would be the same. A man should not take on a womans role in life either. His "garb" should be that of a man, and not that of a woman.
Now that's a whole nuther can of worms! What is the role of a man? I guess it's huntin' and fishin' and gruntin' and scratchin'? What is the role of a woman? Cleaning the house and changing diapers? I've changed many a diaper, in my day. Guess I'm doomed.

I don't know Greek or Hebrew. I just know that in the book of Deaut., it speaks of a woman not wearing men's apparel, and vice versa.
On this day, September 14th, 2007, men don't wear dresses or skirts. At least where I live they don't. And if they do, I don't know it. lol So I will continue to wear my dresses and skirts, and let the men wear the pants.
If this stance ever changes, and men should start wearing dresses......well, I'll just have to face that if and when it happens.
Is there any official written documentation in the UPC that forbids or discourages women wearing pants? It's taught, but is there a formal position against it?

None that I know of. It is about like the rule on facial hair.

The south preaches against it and mixed bathing.

Been to Scotland, India or Africa lately?? Why don't we just let folks and the Spirit of God dictate what they wear. Get the clothesline removed from the pulpit, and bring back the preaching of the Cross, and what Jesus actually accomplished at the Cross.
