Okay, honestly when choosing a husband there are benefits to looking. You can tell enough, but I just don't think it's that big of a deal or enough of a problem with men wearing pants.
Dresses/skirts are way sexier, IMO and I've never really liked wearing pants, so I don't really have a problem with it. Man, they are tight and they bite!
Rendanator, Ho made me say it!!!
You are killing me!!!!

Oh, Swami! What will we do without your brain? We can't think for ourselves. You are the only positive intelligent influence on this whole entire Forum and all the others combined!!!!
I would recommend keeping the liberals and UCs out for a while.

I posted this within another thread and didn't get a response, and I would honestly like to know the answer so I am posting it again here.
Why is it that the "cut" of a robe was enough to separate gender in biblical times, but the "cut" of trousers is not enough to separate gender in modern times... and if we go down the modesty path here, then neither men nor women should wear pants. Should not men and women be equally modest?
Actually, the English word modest appears only once in the King James Version of the Bible:
1 Timothy 2:9-10 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
The Greek word for apparel in this text is Katastole, meaning a long dress. Kata meaning down - a garment flowing down; and Stole - a long garment, covering or wrapping.
The Greek word for modest is Kosmios, meaning orderly, well-arranged, decent, modest, harmonious arrangement, or adornment. Modesty is also Biblically applied to one's demeanor or behavior. This same Greek word is translated good behavior in 1 Timothy 3:2 in the qualifications of bishops.
Therefore, Oneness Pentecostal sisters are instructed to wear modest long dresses (Kosmios Katastole). They believe this Kosmios Katastole not only specifies that the article of clothing should be a dress, but also specifies that the dress should be of a suitably long length.

Thank you... this is the first time I have ever seen the 1 Timothy 2:9-10 reference used for women wearing dresses. If you are right, then I consider that a legitimate argument.
I personally believe cultural context should be taken into account, but can accept this as a valid argument for those who do not believe that.
