Some Protestant denominations are made up exclusively of Pentecostals. Some of these denominations prohibit their women cutting their hair and wearing pants.
I'd love a life where I didn't have to wear pants, but there's too much crabgrass in my flowerbeds and too many fire ants and cockleburrs to make it safe in anything but thick trousers.
yes, there are some groups, that are not Pentecostal, that encourage women to not cut their hair, and to wear dresses/skirts.
As a truck driver, I hear all sorts of comments over the CB radio. When in heavy traffic, the 'noise box' is filled with comments about what a woman is wearing. While they prefer oxposed skin, tight slacks/jeans still set off the chatter. How the woman is sitting (leg positions). But when a woman has a dress on (that goes below the knee), the comment is usually something like, "Nevermind, she's got a long dress on".
I am grateful that my God-fearing wife let the Spirit guide her to be modest in dress. Nobody forced her. She has maintained a terrific figure for our nearly 28 yrs of marriage; but for the last 24, (wearing a dress or skirt that reaches about halfway between her knee and ankle), I haven't noticed male friends (yes, friends!!) and strangers staring at her lower half.
I believe the Word mentions that it's not good to cause others to sin.
She's always had long hair, and I just love it!
Pentacostals are by and large much more conservative than your average church goer.
Charismatics however, who may or may not be pentacostals, tend to be more liberal in dress, rock music and letting music overtake services, allowing women to drive services with emotional outburst and not focus on preaching as much.
