Would you be shocked if ALL the females were wearing pants to church? Or is that common in your area?

No one would notice. At least none of the men would.

Oh, now, bcspace. I know it's been decades since I attended, but the Mormon women I trust are yet noticeable to the men.


Not in a pants vs. skirt scenario. Hasn't been the case for the three plus decades I've been cognizant of Church and the sexes.

Just a few before my laptop dies...

This one compares wearing pants in church to wearing butt-floss in church. (Note: if you keep your underwear UNDER your clothes, where it belongs, no one will give a damn what you are wearing there!)

Here's one of those charming "but the men are sooo picked on, too!" posts. And also, if you think men and women in the LDS church aren't equals (they aren't), then you are a "radical feminist"!:

This one thinks it's "disrespectful" and "rebellious" to wear pants to make a point:

Or me. I have quite a few suits I'd be willing to sell for $360.00. (10% discount to members.)

I have not been paying close attention to this thread, are the women supposed to wear just pants? Might be a good way to increase sacrament attendance.

:surprised:

Seriously? Can you share a few?

The public event page for this is pretty active, but you won't have to scroll for long before seeing the TBMs do what TBMs do:

Considering Trotter's response, this movement has already been neutralized. One really is going to have to take it to super obvious apostate level in order to get the Church's attention and such attention won't be positive to such a one's pov.

Go ahead. Make my day.
