I'm quite interested with the "history of pants". Can anybody send me some information on this? It's important to know history to deal with certain issues.

But for the moment, I had been an "anti-pants-on-women" and I had been reading books written by "anti-pants" good Christians. I am quite convinced with the principles of distinction and modesty.

My ONLY frustration was, I can never find "pants" in the Bible. Upon close study, "breeches" rather seem to be a priestly undergarment. The most important thing to notice is that where Deut. 22:5 was mentioned, the male's garment was a SKIRT.
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
