Modest professional office work attire. So what.
Maybe they save their dresses for Mass.
You GOT to be joking. You call yourself a Trad?
Do you save morality and modesty for Sundays?
I have many problems with women in pants:
1. Pants are not modest attire for women.
2. They allow women to do everything a man does. They "liberate" women in a bad way.
3. They show off the female form (men's butts are NOT equal to women's butts, any more than men and women are the same) Most women will joke about how men "don't have a butt" and it's true. There's a reason men wear their pants differently than women. They don't have nice wide "birthin' hips", they don't have a plump butt. Excess fat doesn't prioritize accuмulating in the butt area (it goes to their gut instead) and so on.
4. Men are more visual than women, and studies have shown that the 2 legs intersection (the crotch) is where the pants direct a viewer's eyes. As a man, I can tell you this is true. This would be a problem for men wearing pants as well, except that women aren't wired the same way or "instantly turned on by sight" as men are.
In conclusion, men can wear pants because A) they are supposed to do all the male jobs, which require pants, and they don't have a butt to show off by pants, and even if they did, women aren't visually oriented to be instantly turned on anyhow. And even if women were visual, they wouldn't be psychologically/primally looking for "nice wide birthing hips" since men don't give birth! Women would be looking at other features.
Again, I repeat: not letting your eyes follow a psychologically demanded path (right to the crotch) is about as easy as avoiding looking at a polka-dotted elephant that burst into the room. You can catch yourself, refuse any willful consent, etc. but you do it without thinking about it, even if you have quite a bit of virtue built up. And you do it the 1st time, the 100th time, and the 1000th time just as easily.
It's like a reflex action. You ask yourself, "Why did I look? She's my grandmother." and so on. It has nothing to do with lust or leering at women.
Scientists can track precisely what a viewer looks at when viewing a webpage, advertisement, etc. and we're talking split-second movements and focus. They have advertising down to a science; it's scary. Anyhow, they used this technique on men looking at a woman in pants and they found that his eyes follow the two lines (legs) right up to the point of intersection: the crotch.
Women who wear pants want men to look at their crotch. What? You were ignorant of this? That's not your motivation for wearing pants? Well,
now that I've explained it to you, you either stop wearing pants or you don't care that your attire psychologically forces men to look at your crotch.
