Although, obviously, if the issue crops up, I will argue about it, but I won't raise it by wearing trousers and inviting bother.
It sounds contradicting but I will leave it as that...
It isn't contradictory.
How come? You don't practice what you preach. Do you still believe it's not contradictory?
I don't preach that women must not wear skirts. I don't preach that women must wear trousers. I am not obliged to wear trousers just because I see nothing wrong with them. There are lots of things that aren't wrong that I don't wear or do!
I don't play golf. But if someone were to start saying it was sinful, and I were to defend it, would you accuse me of not practising what I preach??
Our Lady had told us that certain fashion would offend God. Considering what pants do to most women nowadays, don't you think it's high time to cease defending something that's offending Him?
I know Our Lady said certain fashions would offend Our Lord. It is obvious that mini-skirts and tight, see-through clothes offend Him. I do not think it is so obvious that trousers offend Him. Maybe short hair does?? I just think it's a bit of a leap to assume that Our Lady
obviously included trousers in her warning. It is not obvious at all. There are undoubtedly new fashions that offend Our Lord. But that does not mean that all of them do.
I don't know until when you'd come to your senses but one thing is certain. It is an occasion of sin to both men and women. For men - because it can lead to impurity. For women - because it can lead them to false notion of equality with men.
Why did the similar dress that men and women donned
before men started wearing trousers (as displayed in many paintings of the Holy Family) not lead women to a false sense of equality?
And, as for the occasion of sin element, I've already offered a solution to that: LONG TOPS.
