The reason many quaker women do NOT, is exactly your complaint--women's plain dress tends to emphasize a submission to men first and God second. That said, Carl and Kodi have a fascinating experience wandering through this world in grey woolen waistcoats, collarless shirts, suspenders, etc. They walk in the guise of another world...Mary Harvest Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919173931180189690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570865557642304809.post-66144062111919770062011-02-22T12:47:32.931-05:002011-02-22T12:47:32.931-05:00The trouble I have with most Christian forms of dr...The trouble I have with most Christian forms of dress is twofold. One, it seems to be all about the woman, much like Islam. (Although it’s really cool that you have male friends who do it.) Two (and this is related), it often comes back to that silly part about head-covering in Corinthians.<br />1 Corinthians 13:3, 7 I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.<br />That just rubs me the wrong way. It’s also particularly inapplicable, because I don’t have a man who is in charge of me. Tzniut has similar problems, but they only apply to married women, so I didn’t have to deal with it this year.<br />Although, I suppose something like this might be worth trying one Lent: http://www.quakerjane.com/spirit.friends/plain_dress-modern.html.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095657063693931200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570865557642304809.post-78627947519829712522011-02-21T18:16:54.304-05:002011-02-21T18:16:54.304-05:00I think you're really missing out by not resea...I think you're really missing out by not researching the plain dress of Quakers/Mennonites. I have several modern (male) Friends who follow it, and for men it is quite reasonable, though interesting in the modern world. Next year, perhaps!<br />MaryMary Harvest Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919173931180189690noreply@blogger.com
