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.

Deuteronomy.. Moses' opinions and diktats, basically. Old Testament. So Ancient Hebrew, pre-Christian although the foundations of Judaism and its much later faction that broke away and became Christianity.

So any modern woman now who does not obey a fashion-diktat invented by a pre-Christian, Late Bronze Age mysoginist in one small tribal society in one small area of the world, is not Christian?

Or does the original question really show that there are supposedly-"modern" but narrow-minded men who find it easier to blame God than to admit they regard women as inferior chattels?

Moses feared that his followers were not in the mood to be told what to do - but who could blame them? They had (so they tell us) escaped from being ordered about as slaves, and were about to colonise a land offering a life better than being desert nomads.
