Today I am thinking about masculine and feminine clothes, attitudes, gesture and body language etc.

The lines of gender have been so blurred that they are almost non-existant.

If you have stopped by before, you know that I am a people watcher. Last weekend while we were out shopping, we noticed something--that all the women were wearing jeans.

Where have all the LADIES gone?????  

Feminism and unisexism has made it almost impossible to be a lady.  Besides the fact that many girls grow up being taught ERA "theology", their only picture of femininity is perverted. They think being feminine means using "feminine wiles", and dressing like a harlot. That is what the feminists say. Feminism cannot discern between feminine and sexy. They are the sexist ones, not only men.

To catch a glimpse of real ladies, at least in appearance, we have to return to another time. We have to go back to the late 19th century.

I am by no means advocating that we all return to donning horse hair bustles, 8-12 skirts in layers, and whalebone corsets to draw our stomach in to a 12 inch waist. But I am wishing we could return to a time and place where men and women had their own roles and duties, and seldom crossed the line between them; and era when from a great distance one could determine the gender of who they saw.

Even in Biblical times this was possible. The story of Ruth bears this out for us. Read it for yourself. The argument many make against, ok, I'll say it, women wearing pants and dressing like a man, is that in Bible times men and women both wore robes. They will cite scripture which talks about Aarons skirt to prove their point.

Here is where I have trouble with that argument. First in Deut. God makes it clear that men and women are not to wear the apparel of the opposite sex.

The question before us today is what is mens clothes and women's clothes?

Pretty much we can all agree that a man in a dress/skirt is simply wrong, in our society today. Men have been wearing some for of pants for centuries. Even in Old Testament times the high priest was instructed to wear breeches under his robe. So the dispute is not about whether or not a man should wear a dress. Even a very mannish color would still look wrong. 

SO ladies, what does that mean to the girls?  Are pants for men? If so, what does that mean to you and I?

Can you honestly say that pants, at least most of the pants on the market and in womens closets today, do they make a woman look feminine?

I do wear jeans most of the time, but I also love skirts! Sometimes when we're going out for dinner or something, I will want to put a skirt on, but sometimes I don't because I don't want people to take it the wrong way....this is a hard topic but I agree that men and women should have their own places and there is too much unisexism.

Could you please point out to me where it's "clearly stated" in Deutoronomy that 1 sex isn't supposed to wear the clothes of another?

Thank You

"Pretty much we can all agree that a man in a dress/skirt is simply wrong, in our society today."

I'd like to hear you say that to a Scotsman.
