I Believe Christian Women Should Wear Dresses And Skirts Only

What about little girls? Wearing only skirts seems unfair, since they would also be expected to be "modest" while playing.

That would mean no climbing on the monkey bars, no cartwheels, no headstands, etc.

My big question about all this is....WHY? What has wearing a dress got to do with any kind of religious belief?

@MarkA Deut. 22:5 reads, "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."

The reasoning, as I understand it, is that outer garments which divide the leg pertain to males, and hence females are forbidden from wearing them. There isn't actually anything in the Bible about this "divide the leg" rule, though. It seems to be a church rule in some denominations.

I'm sure the dictionary definition of Religion is ... 'load of childish crap'.
Obvs I might have misread it. 🤔
