Some can determine that it is ok to charge usury on their brother, but rake a woman over the coals because it is more practical to work in a pair of pants than a skirt?
My view is that if it's the pastor "raking," I'll use my pastor for an example: he would only do "raking" for that if he sincerely felt that pants, whether or not they were practical, is wrong, and he completely adheres to that belief. He ultimately has to answer for that...he has a church he is trying his best to present to God without spot or wrinkle. Women in the old days (what I'm thinking of is Laura Ingalls Wilder-types) used to do all kinds of work in skirts, they were just fuller and longer. The trend we see today has them showing off more of their bodies, whether it's a shorter skirt, tighter skirt, tighter pants, low-rider pants. I personally don't wear pants and have a hard time understanding where pants would be absolutely necessary over a skirt.
