Don't you think there is a double standard here ???

What I was going to say was:
A man who wears an ear ring may be more concerned with flash and appearance than with his own walk with God and the message he is sending the sheep he is leading.
HOWEVER, that same argument could be made against women who wear ear rings.
The "socially acceptable" argument leads me down a slippery slope as well.
In reality, I guess it is a double standard, but it is a standard.
This one-stepper still believes SOME STANDARDS are worth holding on to.
This is one of them. I don't have a scripture that I can comfortably say is out and out against men wearing ear rings, or maybe I do and I just don't remember right now.
