I'm not a fan of "one size fits all".
Because it doesn't.
As you know, I've been reading A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans. If you don't, read about it here and here.
One of the things I appreciate about this book is that it demonstrates that being a "biblical woman" is not a "one size fits all" deal.
Thinking that "biblical" looks the same on all women is like telling all of the women in the world that they have to wear the same bridesmaid dress and look good in it.
A yellow, halter bridesmaid dress.
Who looks good in that?
Not many of us.
And those who do would still probably choose something else.
Maybe we need to rethink what it means to be a "biblical" woman and worry less about what others are wearing and more about making sure our own skirt is not tucked into our underwear in the back.
