First, there is no need. Once a principle is established it doe not need to be re-established every time just to satisfy a critic.
Secondly, Albert Barnes notes on Matthew 5:40:
(Mat 5:40 KJV) And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
Concerning the coat, he writes:
Coat - The Jews wore two principal garments, an interior and an exterior. The interior, here called the “coat,” or the tunic, was made commonly of linen, and encircled the whole body, extending down to the knees. Sometimes beneath this garment, as in the case of the priests, there was another garment corresponding to pantaloons.
Thus, according to him, pants were sometimes worn in Judea during the time of Christ.
STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO PROVIDE ONE PASSAGE DEMONSTRATING A GODLY WOMAN WORE PANTS
Blah, blah, blah. Guess what, I'm currently looking into if women wore breeches or any bifurcated garments under their tunics in the Winter months or to protect from the elements in ancient times. While we might not see a reference to women wearing breeches in Scripture, we might find that women wearing breeches (or even hosen) under their tunics was a common practice when the weather was bad. I'm looking into it. I'll get back with you if I find anything significant.
Great! You acknowledge the Bible does not have a single reference of a godly woman wearing pants. So now, in your argument from silence, you will try to find historical evidence of a woman wearing pants. Please feel free to look at Persian women. They did. However, when you find whatever you find, please ensure that they were godly women. Otherwise it doe not provide your argument with any help.
You sound like you're stomping your feet and demanding, demanding, demanding.
Demanding? LOL! I have provided positive evidence. All I am "demanding" is that you be held to the same standard. Since you know you cannot reach that standard you whine. Your argument is a prime example of an "argument from silence". You have NO Biblical evidence and ignore the Biblical evidence provided.
Bro, it's an argument from silence. That means... we truly don't know. That's the HONEST answer. To find out, we have to study the culture and what archeologists have discovered thus far.
We truly do KNOW godly men wore pants. We also know that there is NO Biblical evidence to suggest that godly women ever wore pants. That is the HONEST answer. You just refuse to acknowledge the facts.
Bingo. Science, science such as archeology, might shed some light on the issue. Don't get your breeches all up in a bunch. LOL

Still waiting for you to provide positive Biblical evidence that godly women wore pants.
The "silence" is deafening - the real argument from silence.
Buena suerte
