They just draw the line in a different place than you and, honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think it is wise.

I forgot the smilie

Britches are made for women too. We've gone around that mulberry bush a zillon times. I LOOK like a woman in britches. I don't walk like I have a saddle between my legs. I'm graceful (well, getting there - - the knee isn't 100% yet) and I look all woman.

Anyone can draw the line wherever they feel comfortable, but I'll respect your wife for not wearing pants if she can respect me for wearing them. I mean britches!

You've met me and I had on crop pants - - did I look like a man?

I think we should go out of our way to be...um...genderly distinct. (I made that up.) ...whatever that means within a particular culture.

It is cultural, and a good example is Indian women with their sari/tunics and the pants that go underneath--they don't look masculine whatsoever. However, I think that jeans look really masculine, and so while I might wear pajama pants (okay, I DO), I also draw the line...somewhere.



That's the problem though...I really do think that churches and saints ought to be drawing some lines on an individual basis. (Yes, I know "saint" and "church" is contradictory on the singular vs. plural note)

See my signature and don't complain about it.

Sorry - I had to come back and post Thomas' picture (added it to Tracy's above)



The one on the right is a girl turned guy now pregnant - - now that's what I think Jesus is talking about being against.

It's all pretty simple to me.

Women are suppose to look like women. Men like men.

I think men wore jewelry in the OT. I think a slave had a earring in one ear if he wanted to stay with his master.

Marko,

what is wrong with God looking on the heart? Isn't it Biblical?
