  • How about knickers or a kilt?
    Both male and female Muslims are covered up.
    Old Order Amish and even ultra orthodox and Hasidic Jews—all dressed modestly with a head covering of some sort! 
    Personally, I think knickers are for boys.  I think men look funny in them, but I do realize that was the style a long time ago. A kilt looks weird outside of Scotland. Though, for some reason I think a man in a kilt must be extra manly to wear such a thing. But if i see a man wearing women's clothes, then there must be something wrong with them.  

    The reality is this.  People dress like the culture they live.  Styles change.  I am just afraid of saying anything different than what the men want to be said.  It just shows their narrow focus.  Do people dress more modestly when they find and love God?  Yes. They do this for all religions. When they get more devout they follow the rules better. 

    I couldn't wear a head covering all day long, because it is different from the culture I grew up in.  Yet because these conversations start up I start to get scrupulous and then worry about offending God.  Will I go to Hell because I don't want to wear a hat all day long?  I am not sure that is the case.  I mean I have walked at the mall lately and most of the people wear pajama bottoms.  I think people just dress sloppily for the most part. Does sloppy dress affect the way people feel?  Probably yes. If we want a better society we probably have to dress better.  Anyways, sorry for my ramblings.

    Try not to be too scrupulous over it. I don't think it's something you go to hell for especially considering modern society. The point of this thread is to discuss this idea. Now if your husband asked you to cover your head it would be a different story. I do think society would be better if women did cover their heads in public but they first need to work on covering their bodies and fixing their behaviour and mannerisms.
