, 03:09, November 7, 2008→Other cultures: '70's Britain's Pakistani-diaspora immigrants from Uganda
In Punjab (both sides of the border), traditional clothing for women is a loose shirt and baggy trousers, known as shalwar-kamiz (shalwar is the trousers, kamiz the blouse). So to which culture(s) does your condemnation of trousers as clothing for women apply? To the USA? North America? Or more widely? [[User:DavyJones|DavyJones]] 18:52, 2 November 2008 (EST)

: Interestingly, when Britain got a large influx of Pakistani-diaspora immigrants from Uganda in the '70s, there was quite a debate about public school uniforms - the Pakistanis felt that the traditional British skirts were immodest, and wanted their girls to wear shalwar-kamiz, also known as "Punjabi dress" to school. So as [[User:DavyJones|DavyJones]] points out, in some cultures women ''not'' wearing pants is seen as immodest. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 22:09, 6 November 2008 (EST)
