The skirt is a little longer than mid-calf.

@Imatheistically The idea that Christianity isn't a misogynistic death cult in every way that Islam is is nothing except civilization bias.

@Imatheistically That has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. It is forbidden to murder anyone in Islam. This is just a cultural tradition, all man made. As you perhaps remember Christians used to kill mainly women because they were supposed to be witches and that had nothing to do with Christianity either, all man made cultural traditions.

Love to see that lol

Deadly!

In the church, she finds comfort community and friends and those that accept her and pray for her. I'm not justifying her church, it's just that to change churches, she would lose current friends and family and put her lower down with the supervisor (church deacon).

@Biblebeltskeptic They accept her? Not if she goes to another church or wears pants they don't. There are far more tolerant and accepting people about I think. Friends & family that are only there because you are doing what you are told, are fake in my opinion. I am not in her shoes and there may be more to it but people as controlling as this are better out of your life than in it, no matter how nice they seem. Your story reminds me of a guy I worked with. Somehow God came up in conversation and he told me he's an Atheist. I said "but I thought you went to church every weekend". He laughed and told me that most people at his church are Atheist but go to church as a social event. He reckons that most people in his religion are the same. I was shocked. It was one of the "orthodox" branded religions but can't remember exactly which one. So, this is probably more common than you think.

I forgot that pants mean something else in the UK.

In almost every case they try to control what women wear

Absolutely absurd that you're controlled on the dress code. Don't they have you brainwashed already? That not enough?

@NoPlanetB I always thought that too, it seems easier access and more sexual .too.

@K9Kohle789 agree totally

ME NEITHER. Any teaching jobs in Thailand in the past eight years that required skirts, I either turned down, or wore long, gathered "skorts."

Exactly unless his reasons for wanting the "skirt uniform" is so that the perverted scoundrel can take a peep now and again. Pants seem proper for a job like that.

That's awesome. As long as it's not for religious reasons or for guilt-tripping someone into following holiness or a god.

@Biblebeltskeptic Of course not , I was merely indicating dresses are beautiful on women. As far her supposed reasons why , who am I to judge them , there are opportunities for us all to walk own paths if we choose to do so , we have all been exposed to a system of living that takes away our ability to reason , and enslaves us to our Ego and to the Ego of those before us . We can’t tell others how to live , or ridicule them for that . I have compassion for my fellow humans because I see how we have been enslaved to the he Ego as a whole . I am saddened to see so many living their lives based on things that can’t be verified or are just the Lunacy of someone else’s mind . It’s her choice even though it isn’t . I see you though .

Perfect

It isn't a uniform in this case. Her job performance is his business her wardrobe choices are not unless they are too revealing or inappropriate. There is nothing inappropriate about pants unless they are too tight .

That's a slave-mentality attitude.

No acceptable dress code in today's world requires women to wear skirts/dresses. Even ridiculous school uniforms are taking the hint.

I think women with shapely legs would like to wear dresses. Are pants used to hide fat legs with bulging veins? @CommonHuman

@nicknotes No, that thought is both weird and judgemental. Skirts are just inconvenient. In the summer your thighs rub and chafe, there's constant lookout for wind, creeps and pervs, cold in the winter, when you think about it there is very little reason or incentive to wear a skirt. I like them on occasion, but as a practical piece of clothing they suck. I mean, do you want to wear them?

@CommonHuman Have you met the Scots? Kilts are fucking boss.

Maybe if I were Scottish I might give it a try...@CommonHuman

@JosephHarrison Do they really wear those much as daily wear anymore though?

Probably not @CommonHuman

I think you hit the common denominator right on the head - control. Seems to be the basis of a good deal of BS that women have been putting up with for a hell of a long time. Perhaps it is time for women to not go along with it. I mean the guy that posted live with it? She is living with it but she sure as shit shouldn't have to. I think that woman who posted he is a leg man is right on the money, he probably is but why does a deacon feel he has the right to indulge in his turn on - and why does she feel she needs to comply? You would think our society should be a little more evolved than that when it comes to sexual politics.

Oh my word...
