The women not wearing pants standard is a health hazzard. We live in a society that has become sedentary. Most of our work is done on computers. We sit in front on computers at work and at home. We sit on our butts at church. We sit a lot.
We have an obesity epidemic. 60% of US women are obese.

Years ago when I joined a UPChurch, I gave up my 5 mile a day run, and my active lifestyle to comply with a dress standard that made it very uncomfortable for me to exercise. I gained weight. Our bodies were created to move and work, not sit all day.
When I abandoned the dress standard, I began to run, lift weights, and swim. I feel so much better physically. I am a healthy weight. I could never go back to the bondage of being confined to dresses all the time. It's like chinese women having their feet bound.
