Is It Wrong For Women to Wear Pants?

By ⋅ November 26, 2009 ⋅ 7 comments

In Paris, France, the answer would be yes. In 1800, a Paris police chief introduced a rule banning women from dressing like men—namely by wearing pants instead of skirts and dresses.  This idea is not that foreign.  The Biblical Old Testament speaks of it being wrong for women to dress like men such that you [...]

Is This Modest?

I invite you to come check out the launch of a new website that we’ve started called: Is This Modest? The point of this site is to help people answer questions of modesty from both a guy’s and girl’s perspective. We have a group of writers lined up, but the key feature of this new [...]

On the Front-lines of Modest Fashion

By ⋅ April 10, 2008 ⋅ 10 comments

In a recent interview with Mrs. Wilt at The Sparrow’s Nest, Christa herself talked about why she [...]

Wanted: Teen Girls to Exploit for Gain

By ⋅ June 7, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

We live in a sick and twisted society. In the name of free speech, porn peddlers have been able to make millions of dollars trading on women and men that are willing to bear it all, engage in acts that, at best, should be kept in the bedroom, and prey on the weaknesses of men [...]

Watching any of the good old westerns, you’d no doubt see the hero (and sometimes the villians) take off their hat when entering a building– or at least in the presence of a lady. Today we have trouble having our children and adults ever taking off their hat, even for the national anthem or prayer [...]

For this Christmas, my wife said that we were overdue on getting new clothes. I think that it’s easy to neglect this area (especially being a man) unless circulation between parts of your body is being cut off! So, we’ve been shopping online and at the mall together to try to get at least her [...]
