All we ever hear about is women wearing pants and it's almost never about men wearing dresses.
When men wear dresses, we think it must be a joke, but when women wear pants we are taught to think nothing of it. Most often, I think, women wear pants because everyone else is.
Nevertheless, it still seems as if the whole pants thing (aside from some of the practical concerns, which seem to be a product of sɛҳuąƖ liberation and the cultural expectation for women to work) is about attacking patriarchy and establishing gender equality/matriarchy, in its place.
Men don't wear skirts, and it would be very impractical for them to wear skirts, so that is not really equal example to women wearing pants.
Here's a better comparison:
Trad men wearing shorts vs. women wearing pants. That would be more equal. I don't wear shorts except to go into the water swimming. I remember the SSPX published articles years ago saying that shorts were for little boys till like 9 years of age. That men wear pants.
If men tell the women that it is not appropiate to wear loose pants (I'm not talking about form fitting pants, which are a sin against modesty), then men should not wear shorts.
I tell women that they can't wear pants, except under a dress for cold weather, or bug bite protection, or swimming ect. I don't wear shorts
Let's see how you trad men handle that!
