Have you heard of anyone saying that about Sarah? Have you heard the Duggars, or anyone else calling women who wear jewelery sinners? What is the symbol for the women’s restroom? What is the symbol for men’s? That should really end the debate. In western culture, women wear dresses and skirts. They started wearing pants as an egalitarian statement. Is that not true?

So Western culture is synonymous with God's word or what God says is acceptable attire? Nope.

God gave us a standard that transcends time, place and culture, and yet guides us Biblically, as He knew that there would be differences in attire and such even among Christians.

The Lord only said that men should not wear women's clothing and vice versa, and yet men and women both wore robes in Moses time. Oh, the horror. And they both wore ear rings and nose rings, etc. Oh the humanity. God help Sarah with her jewelry problem. /sarcasm.

The point was, is that men robes were different from women's and vice versa, thus doing what God commanded.

Women and men can both wear pants as long as they are different in style from each other. This is Biblical, morally based, and a common sense approach.

This follows the Biblical pattern, whereas your Western-based women-must-wear-dresses-and skirts standard does not.

Did women start wearing robes in Moses time as an egalitarian statement? We don;t know.

Secondly, while that may have been then, women today don't necessarily wear pants as an egalitarian statement just like Scotsmen don't wear kilts for an egalitarian statement.
