I remeber when they were doing that in the states, say what one wants about bad fashion ideas, but the pants hanging halfway down ones underwear was the ultimate bad.

Sounds about right with what I've heard, seems most people only start to care when the the portion of the leg about halfway up past the knee is visible.

I think it's talking about discrimination, not roles in the church.

Still judging I see, the topic is men in tights, not women.

so much for judge not lest yea be judged. Ever hear of gymnastics?

I think your right, also the painting may be exagerated a little. Here's a picture of how the early hose supposedly worked, I guess it would be like wearing compression hose under a pair of shorts.

I just remembered tights and hosiery have health benefits in the circulation department handy if you've got to stand in one place all day, there's even versions requiring a prescription.

yeah, make the standards roughly the same for each gender, I wonder if part of the reason tights are a no-no today might be simply that modern tights can be worn exactly like pants with a regular length shirt, showing one's but and upper thighs, wereas in the middle ages it was normal to be...

Tights, or technically hose were standard menswear at the time that movie is set.

amusing, but far less of an issue than one might think.

People criticizing others, As for bending over, that's probably a fitting issue. My main way of wearing them is underneath a pair of breeches, or sometimes a kilt.

well, your right, it really isn't a big deal, still it's a funny conundrum.

Never though of it until I recently found out a lot of other Christians take issues with men wearing tights or skinny fit pants. What is the rational behind the objection, assuming they're worn in a way that adequately covers the bulge. The arguments I've heard so far don't make a lot of sense...

stop going after "easy" women?
