Aboutwatch007:During that period, men and women wear robes, no skirt or trouser. Women do menstruate and not allow to enter certain sacred places. For this , they say that women should not wear cloth, that is the robe that the men wear or the other way round. Simply put, that husband and wives shouldnt exchange their robes and wear becos women do menstruate. That is my understanding of the passage that says that men should not wear anything that belong to women and vice versa. But this born again churches that turn the bible upside down will not allow u hear word when they see u as a lady wearing trouser. |

OMEGA009:U said it all. This monthly period was the reason for that verse that says men should not wear what belongs to the women and vice versa due to the unclean nature of the women during their menstral cycle. 2 Likes |

Me and u can add or remove whatever we like in the Bible or the holy Quran to suit our purposes.The word of God and standards of God will never ever change. One thing am happy about is that with my own experience reading the Bible and the Quran, what God wants us to understand in these two books are not coined in any big grammar. No need of a degree in Theology or whatever before one can understand them.Maybe someone will let me know the universities that Jesus and the he apostles went or Prophet Mohammed SAW. Any woman who wants to wear or not wear trouser should go ahead. U yourself check the scriptures is it the standard of my creator? Because it is so done in Asia, Europe and America does not or does confirm it is the standard of God. Remember ooo we shall all stand before the judgement throne of God individually to give our accounts. From the part of Nigeria I come from Yoruba land Butter is not one of monkey's diet. It is not part of our culture for women to wear trouser SOKOTO. |

WHAT DOES DEUT 22:5 SAY? Just so they don’t accuse us of trying to shy away from it. Observe that in distinguishing between the outfits of men and women, the text (Deut 22:5) didn’t state exactly what kind of outfit belongs to the man and what kind of outfit belongs to the woman. It simply says the woman shouldn’t wear what pertains to the man and vice-versa. How then do we determine what outfit(s) belong to which? Note that in talking about the variation in outfits, it didn’t mention the word ‘ trousers’ neither did it state that trousers are the exclusive preserve of men while women are bound to wear skirt always. It’s therefore mischievous to use this text as a basis for barring women from wearing trousers. Apart from this seemingly controversial text, you’ll never find a portion in the bible that categorically states what kind of outfit is meant for the different sexes. Since we can’t situate such distinction in outfits biblically, how then do we judge the matter? IT’S CULTURALLY DETERMINED In order to do justice to the matter, we’ll have to be able to make distinctions between what is culturally obtained and what is spiritually obtained . For instance, as touching women trousers by women, it’s primarily determined by what is considered moral and accepted by the culture/custom prevalent in a place. What the different sexes wore was dictated by their cultures and what seemed appropriate to those cultures. For instance, it will interest you to know that during the bible days, in the Jewish culture, men wore skirts. See texts like DEUT22:30, 27:20, 1SAM24:4, HAG2:12, ZECH8:23 for confirmation. Now, it’s absurd to see men wear skirts in the present times. However, in those days, men did. Also, during that period in history, men wore garments (what ladies refer to as GOWN nowadays). In our contemporary world, we observe that there is a variation in how the different genders dress depending on the society. For instance, in the Western world, men and women wear trousers alike. What distinguishes the male trouser from that of the female is the style/manner in which they are sewn. As for the African culture, gone are the days when people tend to look down on women who wear trousers. In recent times, the practise has come to be generally acceptable . [b]THE REAL ISSUE The real issue is not the appropriateness of trousers for women. Rather, it’s the appropriateness of their manner of appearance, be it in skirts or trousers. It’s about decency in the choice of outfit. To say that skirts are the only decent wear for a woman is purely self-deceit . Perhaps those who say trousers are not decent wears for women haven’t stepped out of the compounds in which they are born, all their lives. Otherwise, they will acknowledge that many skirts worn by women are far from being desirable. I speak of the kind of skirts that are really tight fitting and reveals the contour of the woman waist downwards…the type that is hyper-mini and slits in such a way that it exposes sensitive parts of the body. WHAT THEN? 1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel… 1Pe 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. MODESTY IS THE KEY Note that there is no mention of what kind of outfit meant for a woman in the passages. Also, observe that the key here is MODESTY (dress properly). What’s more, what they (women) should adorn themselves with is good works and not outward items. Attention is to be paid to the inward man and not the outward but not to the neglect of the outward appearance. While you go about looking good (whether in trousers or skirts), be particular about your true inner self . Your outward appearance should bother on modesty/decency and also be subservient to the adorning of the spirit man 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Women should wear trousers.....after all... it was made for women. Is there no issue with shirts/blouses?....skirts?....gowns?.......are they women/men clothing? ...why always issue with trousers only? The only distinct women's garment is underwear......any preachings on this should be for men to stop wearing panties and bra.....and women to stop wearing men's briefs. 1 Like |

Our neglect/detachment of culture let to the issue of trousers in Nigeria. So some Nigeria women went abroad and saw women there in trousers not knowing that its because of weather and culture that's making them wear it. Then when our women came home they brought the craziness that trousers is the new fashion neglecting our normal top and wrapper that allows proper air into women's private areas and close trousers that white women wear because of cold. |

I was born into a stauch catholic home. Growing up, u dare not wear trouser in my family, not only in my family sef infact in my whole town. They have this arachiac belief that trousers make u irresponsible and ill- mannered. If u dare wear trouser in my town as a lady, ur own don finish. The villagers will start asking whether there was someone at home before u dress like that and come out. Infact u will be relegated as a spoilt and wayward child. There was this lady in my town that did not care whatever anyone said about her, she used to wear trousers then esp during the christmass season to come to field those days to watch masquerades. If u see the way everyone will be looking at her as if she is an alien, u will bow. People will be saying who will marry this one and all that. Then come one year, i think in 2000 december, girls said no, that they will wear trousers and go out since they wear it in school that is in the university. They said that its only hypocrites that will wear trousers in school and refuse to wear same outside the school. Infact , that year ladies and young girls went hay wire refusing to hear whatever their parents are saying about wearing trousers, infact the catholic girls in the church those days will penalise u if u are seen wearing trouser. U will pay a certain amount to them then. Fear did not allow me wear when I saw others wearing trouser to come and watch masquerade mainly in my compound becos our house is close to the field infact opposite the field also opposite the catholic church. Inside me, I wanted to wear but did not have the gut to wear it. There is this my in law that will not want to see u in that rubbish u call trouser. Infact u dare not try wearing it in his presence, even to fix nails na war. One day, I went into a serious argument with him that there is nothing wrong in ladies wearing trousers. I asked him will it be right for a lady to wear skirt that exposes her laps or may not sit well on a chair. Is that one better than wearing trousers that cover ur whole body. Infact there is no scenario that I did not paint for the man to agree with me that there is nothing wrong in wearing trouser. This argument lasted for more than 6hrs but at the end of it, I was able to convince him and he accepted that there is nothing wrong with that so far the persons trouser is not too tight to expose her bum bum. I also convince my dad. Nairalanders, that was how I started wearing trousers with others ooo. No be small thing. My dear, even the churches then in the east, trouser is a no go area for them. One thing that shocked me is that apart from not allowing trousers in the church, if u dare wear a sleeves gown and cover ur shoulder with a shawl, they will not still allow u to enter the church. They will be telling u that why are u using shawl that its becos u are wearing a sleeveless gown. Even skirts with slits that is above ur knee u will not be allowed into the church. The church wardens will not even allow u get close to the door talk more of entering the church. The way they will shout at u, u will think that u are not a human being maybe u are an animal that does not belong to the society. To the question the op is asking about wearing trousers. For me, there is nothing wrong in that , just like some people posted on this topic that in the old testament, Deutronomy, u shall not wear cloth meant for a man and vice versa. This was said becos women normally menstruate every month and are referred to as unclean during the period and are refused to enter sacred places. U as the husband finding out that ur own robe is dirty may decide to wear ur wifes own. The bible is against that simply becos of the uncleanliness of the wife. My 10k opinion! 1 Like |

The short of the whole story is don't wear anything that will make the opposite sex to sin. like wearing cloth that reveal your body or too tight that will show your shape to the extend of making opposite sex to commit sin. 1 Corinthian 8:1-13 |

It has never produced life, rather a certain constraint to act in ways that would be deemed acceptable by other 'spiritual' folks.

When God gives you brain.......use it. what is a trouser: Trousers are a piece of clothing that you wear over your body from the waist downwards, and that cover each leg separately. (Dictionary) it it doesnt refer to any gender. Follow my logic: If humans had three legs, the trousers would have been that piece of clothing that cover each of the three legs separately from the waist. So, are u trying to say its a sin to wear a piece of clothing that covers each of ones legs? If you insist trousers are men's clothes, then women's pants should not have two 'holes' to accommodate each leg. Their pant should be like a piece of stocking cut half-way up. Its a sin for women to wear shorts. Its a sin for them to wear anything that accommodates their lower limbs separately from the waist, like that skin-tight (that looks like trouser) they wear under their skirt... If that law applies to the lower limbs (legs), then its should apply to the upper limbs (hands). Hence, women should not wear clothes with hands. just drop it over your head and let it flow all the way down.....wear skirt for bottom and wear it for top.... One person just misreads and misinterpretes a verse of scriptures and people just accepts it hook line and sinker without using their God-given brain...... Dont even bother telling me about personal decision, because that decision was influenced by wrong doctrines and wrong beliefs My father wey be pastor cannot even convince me otherwise....and no pastor can tell me its a since for women to wear trouser. |
