The J Dub Culture of Skirt-Wearing

    The rationale of the society, backed up by talks in the 1980's, that dresses/skirts were appropriate forms of clothing for women and trousers for men, was in response to the rapid acceptance of homosexuality in Western societies. They were afraid that, failing a clear demarcation between the sexes, homosexual impulses would become rampant among the confused.

    (A talk by a an Iraqi D.O. with a good sense of humour comes to mind on this subject. Others from Auckland N.Z. may recall him)

    And BTW, the skirt thing is not so unique to JW's. The Amish and the various Bretheren groups are morally horrified by women in pants.

    Getting all dressed up feels wrong to me, too.

    I'm going to Lesbos (my South Park name for the bar) tonight, because while changing my style a bit, I inadvertantly got ready to go out! LOL!

    Add black toe and fingernail polish and early 70's short flippy hair to my ensemble above, and I'm ready to party!

    I do believe in BS'ing with clothing in court and on job interviews.

    You must dress a certain way to get your way in those situations.

    Oh my goodness, go therefore and HORRIFY!

    In the business world, it's very common for women to wear trousers. I wear black trousers, as they're easily worn with virtually any type of shirt or blouse. Add a black jacket and you instantly have a business suit.

    It seems to only be religious groups that insist on women wearing skirts.

    Yup, the dresses went out with the bookbag and library.

    Jeckel, I agree!
