anyone see the article about today is the Mormon women's 'wear pants to church' day. It is against the male rulers of the Mormons that women must wear a dress or a skirt, no slacks, shorts.
In this day and time, I can't believe the women in that church have put up with it. I wonder if this would have become a federal law if Romney had won the election?
This was in the Roanoke Times paper today (Virginia), but can't find it in their on-line edition.

but that's all they did. Mostly they caught on fire and got in the way and were generally a pain in the ass.
I think if Mormon men love skirts that much, they're the ones who should start wearing them.

BTW, Joanna Brooks, the author of this piece, is a great and increasingly loud progressive voice from the Mormon Church.
