Nope.”
“The idea that we have just been left behind by the ’20s and ’30s is an incredible historical misconception,” he said. “It’s a myth.”
It’s also a bad myth. Back in the day, men were required to wear pants in all but bare minimums.
In a letter to his teenage daughter, George B. Schuyler, the first minister of the Baptist Church in America, wrote:
“In the church that we are at present making up, I do not feel that I am an adherent to any religion but that of the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. The church is not a mere form or a mere organ which may be used for public worship; it is the true church and I am one of its members.”

And what we are doing, in some places, is taking away a little bit of that liberty and giving it up so that we are controlling in some way how women dress.”
The next challenge we face is that of getting the word out in all our work. The key to this is to encourage women to speak up to make their voices heard. “If we want women to be in charge today, they have to be willing to speak up,” continued Buss. “If they don’t, then we will not be able to
