Lust is not generic, elder. Some men are more excited about the possibility of what they cannot see, than what is clearly evidenced by form-fitting apparel.

Oh my Lord - you have that right! I change that to "most" men.

But, I still think men like a dress/skirt on a woman - by choice.

That is very true! However, I would change that to say that most men just want someone who is more "lady-like" than not.

True, I agree, but I know they would prefer that "lady" in a dress/skirt.

Some.

This is why a set of rules alone won't work. People need to be careful to regard their own intentions and the reactions of those who observe them, with their hearts set to be holy to God, and to show His love. The trouble begins when people follow rules without adopting the rules, the underlying principles, and the love with which we are to show holiness, into their hearts.

So is the "standard" cultural?

BTW, I agree completely with the last paragraph of your post.

Serves him right....

If baggy trousers are modest for men, then why aren't they modest for women? Is it because you can see daylight between their legs? If so, why isn't the same immodest for men?

Perhaps the 'pants' issue isn't all about modesty. Perhaps many view pants as distinctively male clothing, and dresses/skirts as distinctively female clothing, and therefore they conclude that women ought not to wear pants, and men ought not to wear dresses/skirts.

As for modesty, whatever a person wears ought to be modest, meaning it ought not to accentuate the form so as to draw undue attention to it, whether pants, skirts, dresses, or whatever.

So when I destroy the gender distinction issue, it becomes about modesty... but when I destroy the modesty issue, it becomes about gender distinction?

If you've destroyed them, why are they still issues?
