Do you save your rosary for sundays only too?
I say the Rosary everyday and happen to love wearing dresses and skirts. I just don’t go around plastering photos online of people I don’t know who’s attire I disagree with just to make myself feel superior them. 

Sorry to say but the plank in your eye is showing.

Ridiculous.  It's the SSPX that put this photo out there in the first place.  And that's the problem, as I indicated in the other thread.  Secondly, this has nothing per se to do with feeling superior to anyone.  That's just nonsense.

Here's my post from the other thread --

I think that what's causing such an uproar here is not the mere fact that the women are wearing pants, but the fact that an official SSPX publication published a photo of their official employees ALL wearing pants.  Now, if one of them had had pants on, I think nobody would have said too much.  I agree that you don't want to run around like Jansenists practically swooning from scandal every time you see a woman in pants.

But this is sending a quasi-official message, that there's NOTHING WRONG with women wearing pants.  Think of the scandal caused here.  Some people have mentioned that their local SSPX priest came out against pants.  How does this not completely undercut him?  Now, if someone tries to dissuade a woman from wearing pants, she could just whip out this photo and say, "See here.  Even a Traditional Catholic organization has no problem with women wearing pants.  Are you more Traditional than the SSPX?"

I had this same kind of issue at one point with my daughters.  I don't let them listen to bad music, especially from depraved artists like Katy Perry.  So our kids' perception is that we're very strict.  But it's easier to win the argument against "but all my friends are allowed to listen" by simply pointing out that these are worldly people lacking faith.  But one of the teachers at their Traditional school was talking about how much she liked Katy Perry.  So now it's a much more difficult case to make.  "Are you more strict and rigorous than even the Traditional Catholics?"  If a Traditional Catholic husband tries to dissuade his wife from wearing pants, all she has to do is whip out this picture and the argument is lost.  It would be quite another matter if unofficially the women dressed like this at the office, but FOR CRYING OUT LOUD DO NOT put a picture like this in an official publication.  At least require that they dress up for "picture day".

The SSPX is proudly promoting women wearing pants. That is a problem. We aren't the ones who felt the need to glorify women in pants -- it's the SSPX.

And it's messed up, so we're going to call them out on it. Doing so is virtuous for anyone who chooses to join in. We don't want to be alone in our virtue either, we want everyone to join in. We're not looking for superiority, but we are looking for the triumph of Christ the King. We want His laws to be victorious over all souls individually and in society itself. Christ is King.

End of story.

My comment about saying the rosary only on sundays was a reply to a page 1 comment that the pic was "professional attire" and "maybe they save their dresses for sundays".  In other words, you can't be a catholic only on sundays, which is what they were condoning.
