If Duet 22 accounts for nothing, then where do we apply any distinction between the sexes ?? what other scripture would we have to use?? would you advocate that every man is a law to himself????

St. Mark, this is a canned and traditional response to the pants issue. In fact this echos in my ears coming from the pulpit in the last decades.
I have seen some Pentecostal women hair put up, skirts down to their ankles, sleeves covering their watches and adams apples, who were THE most masculine and authority usurping individuals on the planet. In fact, some of these women are actually scary. They look like ladies, but the persona they wear is nothing BUT masculine and man-like. So, for every lady you think acts different when she wears pants, I have a woman dressed in the skirts that would just as soon crush your man-spirit.
So the problem in your using Deut is sorrowfully wrong when you put it in the context of WE this and WE that, as in defining and regulating a corporate morality.
