Why is that hard to believe? It isn't about picking or choosing. It's about being modest. The OT tells women they should not dress to look like men and vice versa. People want to say that means pants. Well in the time it was written men and women dressed very similar. The differences being maybe color, somewhat the cut, and ornamentation. The other things they were told were about what they could mix or wear together. Everyone wants to state that women can not wear pants but they have no problem mixing cotton and linen, rayon and polyester, wool and silk, etc etc.
So because men started wearing pants first it makes it strictly a man's garment? Women started wearing pants and they decided it was time to cut pants FOR women. I am not going to the ladies section to buy my pants, just will not fit me right. Besides if we go back a hundered years or so the women should have their skirts covering their ankles. Who of you believe that is necessary?
Talk of something else silly. I have known of preachers that wore a girdle when they preached to help them look better. Something that a little time excercising could have taken care of but instead of that they wore a girdle. IT WAS A MAN'S GIRDLE. So it made it okay? 90% of the world look at girdles as being something a woman would wear. So were they wrong and going to hell for trying to hold their stomach in while preaching because they wore this 'ladies garment'?
It seems foolish and stupid to me that we try to hold ladies to this archiac mindset. Men can be progressive and grow but not the ladies.
