Any men flaunting or otherwise exposing their sign of separation would be in violation of some other laws.
Your "bro's" might know, and your wife and mom but that's the extent of it.
Women, as far as I can tell, were give required to show no visible sign of separation that was not tied to things that actually had theological or practical significance and/or relevance.

I'm surprised some pharisee hasn't done it yet.
I guess that's where modesty trumps separation.

Re: Did 1st century christian women "stand out"?
I have a hard time with the way some people think...The first church may have been different in a lot of ways...however it was their LOVE that drew attention to them if anything did....
