Are you saying that they are wearing suits to attract men?

You mean breast implants I assume...

I think most of the time it's for vanity, but what if it's to please a woman's husband? What if he requests it?

What if it's to correct some deformity?

Is it always vanity?

Most of these things are all along the same lines...cosmetics, arranging hair, wearing nice clothes, getting braces, whitening teeth. It's ALL done for the sake of being as attractive as possible.

The problem comes in when men erroneously assume that women are looking attractive in order to seduce a man. It's a lot more likely that they are just trying to be attractive for their own benefit, or for their husbands.

They may be doing it to "keep" their man -

Why would they do that? When mine comes in from the barn, he is very cranky.

No. Just questioning his rationale.

I am questioning yours. You say that women can wear make-up and it's fine and men can wear suits and it's fine. But the Bible doesn't say that men are wearing suits to seduce men. Slam dunk. Points for Emma.

P.S. I hate pom-poms.

Maybe you need to feed the kids early and go meet him out in the barn!
