Bob,
There is a huge difference between men and women as far as the genitals which is very obvious. I wear skirts for the comfort of not having the wedge of cloth rubbing against my testicles. Testicles are outside the body for the simple reason they need to be kept cooler. Men suffer from lowered sperm count, and testicular and prostate cancer due to the heat buildup that pants impose in hot weather.
Are you aware that 60 percent of the male population wear some variety of skirts? Also are you aware that in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures men wore skirts? In the ancient Greek and Roman cultures only women wore pants. In fact, the Romans had a term for pants - "feminalia". At one time in Rome if a man would dare show up wearing pants his property would be taken from him.
There are variations in how people are built. While my hips are not as wide as my mother's hers are wider than most women's. Yes, I do have wider hips than my waist. - waist of 37 inches and hips of 42 inches. But I don't have a disproportionate amount of fat on my hips - I simply have a wide pelvis.
Since when did Jesus wear pants? I don't wear skirts to church out of respect for the service, not because the Bible forbids me from doing so. That passage in Deuteronomy applies to women not wearing men's garments and men not wearing women's garments. I sort of have problems of women being permitted to wear pants to church since pants should be viewed as men's garments. Also the passage mentions that linen and wool are not to be mixed. So you have a very weak case of forbidding men from wearing skirts to church.
May I suggest that you who lives in a glass house [compulsion to cross dress] to quite throwing rocks at others. Either quit cross dressing or quit criticizing others.
John
