Ladies, There is A Difference....

Apprehended · #1 02-13-2008, 07:44 AM

I do not think that the woman, Hillary Clinton owns a dress or a skirt. Everytime I see her in the news, she is wearing BRITICHES.

Over the years I have noticed that more women are wearing britches. Years ago, I was not too much bothered by it for some reason though I never thought that a Christian women claiming to be full of the Holy Ghost should strut around in them at all.

Yesterday, while waiting in the tire store waiting on my pickup truck, I happened to look around and for some reason, I noticed three women in the waiting room, each wearing pants. Then, a woman walked in with a long skirt on and for some reason, my heart rejoiced. I hope that she thought I was flirting but I caught her eye and smiled really big. There was such an approval of her that rose up in my heart for the reason of the skirt.

Yes ladies, there IS a difference between ME and THEE. God in his great divine wisdom, made it so. Aren't you THANKFUL that there is a difference...a very wonderful difference? Everytime I see Hillary, she is wearing her BRITICHES, as though she is trying to portray a manly imagine of power befitting to the office of President or even a Senator.

More and more, I have a growing appreciation of the symbol of difference between men and women as seen in skirts vs. britches. I see a woman wearing pants as a woman not fully happy being a woman, though this may not be the case at all, but it is an impression I get. I hope I am wrong.

Ladies, take off the britches and put on a skirt or a dress. The dignity of a skirt or a dress on a woman is so much appreciated by such old fogies as myself. I cannot scripturally prove that it is a salvational issue, but it seems to me that NATURE itself should teach us certain things, among them is the wearing of the symbol of the wonderful differences between me and THEE. Thus, I feel within myself that the wearing of that which pertains to the male sex is displeasing to the Lord. If it is so, then it very much a salvational issue. One cannot go to heaven having lived a life displeasing to Him.

Let us celebrate the difference in our sex with joy.

Trust me, I am feminine and a "girly-girl" to the core of my being. Sometimes I love to wear skirts, but sometimes I am so much more comfortable in pants. I really don't think God cares one way or the other, as long as I'm modest. I think it comes down to a matter of the heart. Are you trying to protray yourself as "manly"? (And I think Hillary is!). If so, then you are wrong. As long as you remain feminine and show distinction, then I think that's acceptable.

You are. I wear pants and I love being a woman.

Dearest Sherri...

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind about that. Indeed, you truly ARE.

Certainly, I understand that. I enjoy being comfortable also. I am more comfortable in shorts. I would be more comfortable wearing them to malls, to church, to all social gatherings. But, regardless how comfortable they are, I would not wear them (though many men do) in public. In fact, I would not wear them within my own home. Inward feelings and not outward comfort dictate my choice here.

For the sake of many women that wear their pants, I hope that you are right.

No. I am not ESPECIALLY trying to portray myself as manly.

As for as God is concerned, I can only hope that you are right. My intent in the thread was to express my appreciation for the women who recognize that there is a difference and show it by the outward symbol.

But sister, there are few that I appreciate on this board as much as you. You are always so wise and honest in your posts which I have recogized...even in this response.

Love ya...

I am sure you are right about love being a woman.

But, if you will indulge my question here...

Do you ever feel a little sense of "manliness" as you pull up your brithces to fasten them at the waist?

Don't mean anything ugly about this question, I am merely curious as I have never really discussed this in an accademic manner with anyone before. Each time I have read any discussion related to the subject, it seems to have always been from an emotional perspective rather than a clinical or academic perspective.

Britches - - that word just makes me laugh!

Not one bit. So funny that you would even think that. What would be the difference in pulling up my undergarments - - they sure don't make me feel like a man.

I too wear skirts and dresses still - - - I'm all woman in whatever I wear!

Although I can't stand Hillary I will have to say I have seen her in a skirt and jacket dress.

That's okay. I don't take it as ugly. But I have never felt "manly" in my life. Why would I want to? ....Plus, I have skirts that I fasten at the waist, just like my pants.

I don't wear my pants tight. As we speak, I have on black slacks, a white button-up blouse, a long denim, blazer style jacket, and black boots. I feel very much like a lady in what I have on.

How about when you button your blouse?
