Question 427

Morning pater is it wrong for women to wear trousers to church

 

 

Answer to Question 427

 

These ideas are remnants of an era when women were expected to be subordinate slaves to their husbands and the idea of a woman wearing trousers was interpreted as rebellion. Today we have overcome these masculine feelings of women taking over the role of men and trousers have become the common dress of both sexes. I think there is nothing wrong with women wearing trousers in church. But I think those tight leggings are inappropriate
