God never had pants in mind whatsoever when words were written about masculine attire as opposed to women's. And dresses and skirts can be as immodest as SOME pants on women, while pants on women are often more modest then those immodest skirts and dresses. There are very modest pants for women. When we time lock ourselves into the last few decades we lived, we fail to realize God surveys all of time since the beginning. And he made no pants for man. Just a coat, and the same was for Eve, for that matter. And the only reason anyone would push for no pants on women is a cultural issue amongst some denominations, alone. People just have to admit that. |
I've never seen or tried on a pair of modest pants in my entire life. LOL! If I'm going to wear them, they sure in the world aren't going to be loose like a bag lady. So, that isn't going to work for me.
I think that most denominations had women wearing dresses. I know the Catholic Church did when we were growing up. When pantsuits came in vogue, it was a big issue and finally the Catholic Church relented so as not to lose members.

Women wearing pants was historically virtually non-existent but has become commonplace since the advent of feminism in the middle to late 20th century. Today, most women wear pants in Western cultures some of the time.
