I believe that women should dress feminely, and men masculine, and both modestly. I believe that a dress covers the womenly form much better, and in the end provides a message of femine traits, as well as modesty.
Take a look at the bathroom signs at any store or restaurant. Apparently in our day and age, still a women in a dress means female and a man in pants means male..... I have yet to see a women's restroom with a picture of the woman on the door in pants.

This is a good post, and I share most of your views--but is what you stated above a strong enough foundation for calling pants on a woman a SIN? It's okay to deny someone's faith in Christ because they wear an item of clothing some view as exclusively masculine?
