I agree that it's based at least mostly on age. If my 13 y/o son wanted to start wearing dresses, I'd would definitely discourage it severely. But, in the end, it should be their choice to make. There are some things they cannot choose to do, such as drugs or criminal activities. There are some things they CAN choose, such as style of dress and haircut. But yeah, it wouldn't be without instilling a strong understanding of why *I* don't like it.
dlish, the man jammies aren't dresses.
Xazy, the religious argument doesn't hold up. I'll mostly acquiesce to Wills post, but there are other religious fallacies involved in such literal interpretation. Many Christians like to play the new testament old testament game. Some old testament law is void or wrong because it's not part of the teachings of Jesus (as if in his mortal life he was supposed to offer a reteaching of all lessons and laws provided for thousands of years prior in the old testament. Cake + eating? At any rate, until you go around stoning adulterers to death, summoning Deuteronomy as a staple of life's laws seems counterproductive.
