Mormon women plan 'Wear Pants to Church Day’

[halleyscomet]

The Christian offshoot that recently began forbidding menstruating women from attending some temple services has a radical feminist element. These extreme leftists withing the Mormon Church have begun a SHOCKING movement that defies nature itself! They want WOMEN to wear PANTS to CHURCH!

Mormon women plan 'Wear Pants to Church Day’

A group of Mormon feminists has declared Sunday, Dec. 16, as "Wear Pants to Church Day" and is calling on sister Saints across the globe to join the effort.

Shocking!

This will surely shake the patriarchal faith to it's very core.

Reminds me of UCD in the sixties. Or what I've heard of it.

Good luck, my friends.

Men wearing skirts to church (so to speak) is decades further down the road.

Good luck, my friends.

Not wearing anything at all is even farther.

Are there any Scottish Mormons?

Not wearing anything at all is even farther.

I did not need the image of a nude Mitt Romney posthumously baptizing more Holocaust victims, but now it's there, and it's all your fault.

The thread title reads very differently to British eyes...

Indeed! I was envisioning women usually going commando to church, until I read it was about America.

American "pants" = British "trousers".

British "pants" = American "panties, IE women's underwear".

Does that about cover it?

What's odd is the plural name, as if each leg is a pant or a trouser.
Where don't call shirts "sleeves". We call them a shirt. But never a pant or a trouser, no.

You have obviously never been to a Tongan Church.

They should choose yoga pants.

They don't have to be women's underwear. It does apply to underwear for both sexes but is actually more commonly used for male. Female underwear is more commonly "knickers".

See also "underpants".

Depends how big they are.

But a "pair" of underwear, or "drawers" was because each leg was one put on and fastened to the body separately. Some old wording just sticks around! We still say a "glass of water," and not a "plastic" or "ceramic" of water.

The sun still rises, and ships set sail too.

We still give people a "ring" or a "bell" when we're phoning them, despite phones not having had bells for decades. We still "dial" a number, in fact, despite phones not having dials.

Hmm, seems like there could be an interesting thread there.

 

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

Thread about obsolete terms still in use

 

[Dubious Dick]

Moronism. Always was pants.

Actually it started with the hat.

Ah, I often make note of my singular pant whenever the opportunity presents itself when among friends.

Not so unusual. E.g., scissors or forceps (tweezers).
