"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Matthew 5:28
Some glorious words from our Savior here, Sisters, but words that hold many, many ramifications for us. Let's think about the definition of adultery for a moment. Merriam-Webster's defines adultery as:
Voluntary s*xual intercourse! That means that it takes two to "tango", ladies! And when we take that definition and apply it to Matthew 5:28, we realize that when a man has impure thoughts about a woman, it means the woman is equally (if not more!) at fault.
Of course, the Bible is quite clear on how adulterous women should be dealt with. Here's just a few verses on the subject:
"And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." Leviticus 20:10
"If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel." Deuteronomy 22:22
As you can see, if the penalty for adultery is Death, then it follows that the penalty for a man having s*xual fantasies about you should also be death.
So the question that remains is "How do we keep men from having s*xual fantasies about us? How would we even know if that is the case?" and the answer appears to be quite simple at first. Don't be a slutty whore. This is, of course, the correct answer to this question, but there is a little more to not being an incorrigible slut than simply not spreading your legs for every man you see. Even a chaste virgin dressed in appropriate Christian attire can quickly become a hellish harlot that rapes the minds of men with naught but a shy smile and a sultry look in the eyes.
We must remember that the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, created women with a much greater propensity for sluttiness and carnal lusts than men, and realize that because of that we can tempt men into sinful thoughts without even realizing we're doing so.
"The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough." Proverbs 30:15-16
"And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." Ecclesiastes 7:26-29
With this information in mind, I believe that the only way a woman can prevent herself from becoming an unintentional adulteress is by making sure there is absolutely nothing in her attire that can even lead people to believe she's a woman, without wearing clothes that pertaineth to a man and also keeping her head covered for church outings.
I had no idea how to go about doing this, until I came across this image.

And the answer hit me! Why aren't we dressing like this? The long, billowing robes evoke images of gowns while simultaneously covering all the skin, the mask would cover our faces perfectly while reminding people that we are, in fact, women underneath (since no men would need to wear something like this), the walking stick is debateably stylish, and it even comes with a hat for when we enter church!
Most importantly, it isn't one of those weird burka-things Mooslim women wear, but it does serve the same purpose.
What do you ladies think? Is this a possible new uniform for the Ladies of Landover?
