I can’t even begin to imagine how she pulled her skirt off. What was she - a toothpick?

And how did she manage it to start with? Good Lord. I have way too many questions.

Skirts are inherently more modest than pants, because of the fact that skirts reveal less of a woman’s figure than do pants.

One could argue that skirts are less modest because they tempt men with easy access. Just ask Joan of Arc.
 
Welcome home! Just because you’re Catholic, doesn’t mean you can’t have a sense of humor! I’m pretty sure God does!
 
Elastic waists, especially older ones where the elastic isn’t as strong.
 
Well, in that case, the woman wouldn’t be culpable at all. Joan or Ark would be considered an exception to the rule.
 
Yes, this thread is going off topic. It is veering into yet another women’s modesty thread, despite its title. :confused:
 
Which blog in particular? I know of many others who encourage skirt-wearing as the fullest expression of modesty for women.
 
😮😮😮😮😮😮

Did you fall?? Because it sounds as though you got completely tangled!

If a man sees a woman in a skirt, is he thinking “my, what a modest daughter of the Church she is”? Or is it something more along the lines of “humana humana”? I lean toward the latter.

Also, why are we assuming than drooling over the shape of someone’s legs is a strictly male practice?

In fact, it makes me so happy to see a woman dressing modestly.

Would a man be more modest in a skirt, then? After all, men have butts and legs too.

The Scots might agree…at least until a good breeze came by.
 
I have gotten pretty well tangled too. I was attempting to genuflect in a cheap maxi skirt. This was as I was in RCIA and not as smooth at it. I ended up stepping on my hem and tearing my skirt.
 
It sounds like you are more attracted to women in skirts. So is this really about you not being able to stop lusting after ladies who wear pants, or are you wanting to have more pretty girls in skirts to look at? Because come on, pants are too revealing? Really?

It was about 8 or 9 years ago and its author has rather fell out of favor with his followers, after he didn’t live up to his marital vows. Funny thing is, he encourages wearing skirts in that same post. Don’t know if it’s still out there, but rather creeped me out after reading it.

Simcha Fisher still has the link to it on her pants manifesto.
