I am ALL for more modest dresses. But, Hammond doesn't want women wearing pants AT ALL.
She says crazy things like pant are designed by men to bring men's eyes down to the women's crotch. Check this out and read the comments.
She may do a greater diservice to the "modest dress movement".
Most styles of women's pants are too tight and thus immodest.
In general, women shouldn't wear pants apart from exercising, manual labor, etc. The regular wearing of pants by women is defeminizing.
Actually, it's quite freeing to only wear jeans and pants when you are gardening, cleaning out the warehouse, etc. Men treat you like a lady. And skirts, IMO, look much better on most women than pants.
I've never understood the objection. If you wear them long and full enough, skirts are far more comfortable. My preference is actually dresses with no waist. I call them my pajama clothes. I'm comfortable all the time.
Here's the full context of that comment.
"Advertising agencies quickly prepared marketing research to find out the reaction of men to a woman wearing pants. Do you know what they found? Using newly developed technology, they tracked the path that a man's eyes take when looking at a woman in pants. They found that when a man looked at a woman in pants from the back, he looked directly at her bottom. When he looked at a woman wearing pants from the front, advertisers found that his eyes dropped directly to a woman's most private and intimate area. Not her face! Not her chest!"
"I have received letters and emails from men who have read the first edition of the book and wanted me to tell women that they didn't need a marketing study to tell them what they already knew: When a woman is wearing pants, a man's eyes (much to his embarrassment) fall to a woman's crotch. These men also pointed out that it is something that happens without their wanting to do it, or without their realizing it. It's the nature of men to look... and they do! By the way, you'll notice that, in ads, models in trousers will sit with their legs far apart. This isn't being done by accident."
Why do you think I now walk with my eyes toward the ground when I don't need to be watching where I'm going? Our world is one huge occasion of sin now.
