The same is true when you clean the church. I hate cleaning the men's restrooms!

Culture changes, always has and always will. Who knows what we'll all be wearing (or our descendants) in 500 years? Maybe everyone will be back to robes.
Cultural dress should not really be the issue. Femininity and masculinity should always be an issue. A man should look like a man, a woman should look like a woman. A woman in a pair of flowered capris and a ruffled shirt does not look remotely masculine. And yet she'd be doomed to hell by our rulebooks.
I challenge you to go to your local grocery store and see if you can within 2 seconds (per person) identify the sex of every person in that store. I'll be very surprised if you can't. If you can't, it's probably because there's someone in there who CHOSE deliberately to try to look like the opposite sex. THAT is what's a sin.
And the BIGGEST problem is that the generation that we're trying to lead to God is NOT going to understand our reasoning, for the most part. Yes, our ancestors 100 years ago viewed pants as only a man's garment. The people around us now, don't. They just think we're weird. And we have NO scripture that we can show them that says that women are forbidden to wear split-legged garments.
Was the scripture in Deut. saying that women couldn't wear robes? That's what men wore then.

Re: Holiness and the Facebook Generation
Family bathrooms are not "unisex" in their intent. They're for one family at a time anyway. Is there something I'm missing? People really have a problem with this?

There are bathrooms that are unisex, not limited to one family at a time. They're like the big bathrooms in malls, etc. Lots of stalls, sinks, etc. But not gender specific.

The pictures are worth a 1,000 words. Preachers playing golf in shorts, wives with short hair.
Man, they can talk and talk for days on the pictures posted there.

Re: Holiness and the Facebook Generation
The difference is some don't care anymore.
And some are smart enough not to post the pictures of them wearing shorts.
Which one is doing wrong?

You know, in "bible days" neither men nor women wore pants. They wore robes and even men wore "skirts" (witness the Roman Centurian). Yet men and women still had distinctions without a drastic idea of women not being allowed to have an inseam

How does that separate them from the world though? Sinner men were pants.
