Is there any credited rationale behind this pseudo-prohibition other than the silly and irrelevant "pants are more modest" crap? Because I think everyone can agree that the “Begged Ish” issue is moot.
If it’s because “no one else does it…”, then why do we ignore the many orthodox women living everywhere but Monsey/Brooklyn/Lakewood who already wear pants. Isn't this rule just a product of the same generation of wonderfully yeshivish and apparently deeply introspective Jews in the 60's and 70's who decided that we must continue to wear black hats well after all of America stopped wearing them just because it will help us keep our identity? if we can agree that the hat thing is crap (which i think most of us do), then why cant we say the same thing about women and pants?
for gad sakes, im in class now, and not one woman is wearing a skirt on this freezing cold day. i say women unite and be liberated.
