[QUOTE="Verv, post: 73755053, member: 108215"] Fr. Chad Ripperger had a really tremendous commentary on this some years back... [I]Obviously[/I], the cultural context completely determines clothing norms other than some basic standards that Christians would have about sexual modesty. Adherence to cultural norms in terms of gender clothing is also something implicit for Christians to follow. It is also not unreasonable for women or men to change their clothing and bend these standards based on circumstances. For instances, it normally isn't acceptable for a man to show up to work with his shirt off, but it is perfectly sensible if he is a lifeguard. ... And now we are at a point where the cultural norms about informal attire have shifted to such an extent that it would be a bit odd to suggest that [I]women wearing pants is utterly off the wall[/I]. I was never raised in an environment where it was even a question that women could wear pants, right. It doesn't register with me. It would be rather silly to start shooting for some target that would've been attainable in the preservation of [I]pants only for men[/I] in the year 2019 when we live in a society where abortion, LGBTQ, etc., is completely normalized. Ultimately, it's an issue that we just should not worry about. However, some would say that we should seek to make it so that women prefer to [I]not [/I]wear pants to church. That's a separate topic, I think. And I do not have a stance on it. [/QUOTE]
