Are Holiness Standards People Chauvinistic?

[notofworks]

Here's the deal...

Last week I saw a husband and wife. They are a strong part of an OP organization. He was looking like a million bucks. Very fashionable. He's very good looking and could have stepped straight onto the cover of GQ magazine and they wouldn't have had to change him one bit.

His wife? Well, that's another story. While being attractive herself, she VERY MUCH SO had "The Look." For her, there are NO options.

I'm just wondering....why do almost all the rules apply to the women? Cut hair, earrings, jewelry, makeup, pants, on and on and on. The guys? They get off just about unscathed.

You tell me.....when you see a UPC (or similar) couple in public, how can you tell they're UPC? By looking at the guy? No way. You KNOW it's from the look the women has. A UPC guy could walk around NYC for years and never be identified. A women? She's spotted in seconds. And I think that's chauvinistic.

I've never played the "cult card" on the UPC...don't think that's fair. But let's face it, one of the measuring sticks frequently used for a cult, is the "suppression of women."

So what do you think?
