[QUOTE="Verv, post: 73760596, member: 108215"] I admire your stance. It's very strong and robust. But we have to [I]choose our battles, [/I]so to speak. Because this is something about [I]appearance[/I], it is actually less important than something like the popular concept of marriage, right... I think when we [I]get back our traditional concepts of marriage and gender roles[/I], these things fall into place by themselves, and our arguments for returning to these things are more persuasive and can be seen as having a [I]direct impact on people's lives[/I]. Here is also something else to consider... [I]It's easier to do the right thing that you can do and to sustain it then to try to do every single possible right thing and fail to do them properly because of all of the pressure[/I]. ... and maybe you can actually do that, but can your 9-year-old daughter? Should we ask our 9-year-old daughters to never wear pants and feel a certain amount of alienation for a religio-cultural struggle that is beyond her? And can she indefinitely sustain this as a youth going forward when there isn't some obvious, total benefit for standign out in this way..? I worry a lot about sustainability. I have a marathon runners mindset when it comes to ideology. While something might be right, if I can't carry it for 35 years and it's not vital and it's just going to slow me down, I put it down.
