On conservative dress, those that have liberal standards usually drift to calling the standards "traditions" instead of modesty or biblical before they reject them. Wimbleton has standards. All Tennis players wear white. The snack is strawberries and cream.
Augusta County club didn't admit blacks before 1990 and today doesn't grant women membership.
Standards are everywhere. Rebellious people strive against standards. Some say standards from the pulpit are a form of abuse.

"Standards" are one thing, legalistic hogwash bashed over peoples heads as a method of control and subjugation are quite another. People confuse standards set by man with Holiness demanded by God all the time.
God's idea of Holiness is more lofty than we can imagine and even then most bun sportin, dress wearin, holier than thous fail miserably to measure up because they have traded the love of God for the laws of man!!
Wow, im soapboxin today!!!
