On the one hand you say it has nothing to do with britches, and on the other you say women are to look like women and men like men. Can you not see why the UPC has taken the stand it has concerning women wearing britches?
They just draw the line in a different place than you and, honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think it is wise.

I think we should go out of our way to be...um...genderly distinct. (I made that up.) ...whatever that means within a particular culture.
It is cultural, and a good example is Indian women with their sari/tunics and the pants that go underneath--they don't look masculine whatsoever. However, I think that jeans look really masculine, and so while I might wear pajama pants (okay, I DO), I also draw the line...somewhere.
That's the problem though...I really do think that churches and saints ought to be drawing some lines on an individual basis. (Yes, I know "saint" and "church" is contradictory on the singular vs. plural note)
See my signature and don't complain about it.
