Anthony Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 [quote name='Extra ecclesiam nulla salus' date='Apr 17 2006, 01:25 PM']its a cultural things. men Wore Robes yes. but the dress of men and women were different. unlike today, where women where the same clothes as men, and women think that they are the same as men. [right][snapback]950937[/snapback][/right] [/quote] That is not true EENS and you know it. Stop treating women as though they have no right to choose what they want to wear. If women want to be tom boys, that is their right, just as long as they know that God made them girls for a reason. I don't know why you see women as wearing jeans as such a bad thing, but this is the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) (Sam, did something change with your posting situation? Welcome back). Strong opinion here... At least Cardinal Siri writes in a detached manner. I agree in part. I saw a copy of Bishop Williamson's farewell-to-the-US poem. The only thing he had to say to the females was to not wear pants. The men got much counsel; no wonder feminism came into vogue. It will again in Trad circles if some of these people do not get a clue. Sungenis writes like a 7 part article on why women should cover their heads and the whole analyzing the women's dress is again shoved down our wicked throats. It only took one line from Scripture on head covering to convince me - and so they treat women like stupid nomads in the process as well. I know Catholics who were around in the 50's and 40's and they assert that the dumpy too-big jumpers seen today on many Trad women, eyes cast down, is NOT Catholic; hiding your feminity (playing down one's curve) for fear of tempting someone out of some skewed notion of modesty is Protestant. And pants on women are NOT a sin. Now: if people have the means and station (retired professor single woman) to dress always in a dress; if they have mastered the amount and kinds of leg-warming material needed for winter; if they've the funds and enough presence of mind to devote themselvesto this, God bless them. By and large, people have much bigger fish to fry than this; and I say truly that it can be an un-carryable burden. I also think that today there are purity policemen who know far too much about what is clinging and all the rest. Cast your eyes down, what in the hell are you looking so closely at every woman for?

I'd like to add that it is very easy to be totally against women wearing pants when you're not a woman and you can wear whatever you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvangelineLaFay Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Being a woman, I cannot say I agree with the Cardinal. I think that women should be able to wear trousers--within reason. If the pants are designed for women to wear, and they are modest and cover the body properly without being too tight or showing too much, then they should be okay. It's the girls who wear skirts up to their rears that are bad. Eva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
