Like it isn't straight to become a bondservant of Jesus Christ...

It can be a wholesome, manly thing to do, with a useful witness talking point.

@Willie T Quite a lot of Christian men wear earrings.

I have seen a lot of males wearing all sorts of items of jewelry and clothing that are traditionally female. If that is their thing....

In the Bible male bondservants pierced their ear; in the east, male rulers did so also. If we go back far enough it really was common among both genders.

I guess you saw the poll?

Like I said, "If you want to do it, do so." I will always have reservations about why a man wants to wear women's things.

I guess while you might view it as inherently a female thing, I don't. (It's a bit like tattoos; today even more women do it than men.)

Same thing there. I grew up with tatts being a strictly male (and usually, lower-class) thing, and it just doesn't work for a female to have one. I doubt that will ever change for me.

All I can say is that it's very different now; this is a quote from the Bible Belt:

Around here (Bible Belt), it is common, especially among evangelical Christians, for the girls under about 40 to have religious tattoos. More do than don't, especially when you get to the under 30 crowd. I hardly know any female at church that is under 30 that does not have a tattoo.

PS: @Willie T : Did you see @Mayflower 's post, above?

My hubby wears a ring in one ear. He likes that tough guy image.

It really can be a rugged, manly thing to do.

Swing whatever way you swing. It isn't necessary to defend peoples proclivities to me.

From the poll so far, studs seem by far the most preferred...

Check ya later….. I gotta get ready to leave for the gym.

(Did you vote in the poll?)

Why would I vote is this kind of a poll? Is it even an appropriate subject on a Christian forum?

Yes...AMEN...I agree .

Yes...AMEN...I agree .

I guess for you an honourable exception would be made for your granddaughter, whom you mentioned in relation to her ink...

Well, a tasteful faith based one might in some circumstances at least be more mainstream than Charlie Brown for Christmas... (as per your comment on the other thread).

One can see how simple studs are indeed widely preferred:
