If it states very clearly in the Bible that any women who wear any items of Male clothing are an "Abomination unto The Lord" then why do so many women wear Male clothing? Jeans, trousers, shorts, Men's uniforms etc.

What verse are you referring to?
Deuteronomy 22:5?

Because it only applies to Jews and you will find that Orthodox Jews do follow this mitzvah.If it states very clearly in the Bible that any women who wear any items of Male clothing are an "Abomination unto The Lord" then why do so many women wear Male clothing?

Technically men and women have been swapping clothing items for centuries. It just depends on where they happen to live geographically. What is considered "men's" clothing one place may be considered unisex or even "women's" clothing another.If it states very clearly in the Bible that any women who wear any items of Male clothing are an "Abomination unto The Lord" then why do so many women wear Male clothing?

I think he's referring to intentionally trying to look like a man rather than a woman.
And then he tells women to cover their heads and men not to have long hair.But then St Paul says:
"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:26-29
And then he tells women to cover their heads and men not to have long hair.
Haha I wasn't taking shots, I was just making mention. I didn't intend any ill-will.If you want to have a shot at Christianity in regards to treatment of woman you need better aim:
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." 1 Corinthians 14:34-35
It is a religion that's nearly 2,000 years old. What did you expect? Equality of men and woman? You'll need the Baha'is for that
Haha I wasn't taking shots, I was just making mention. I didn't intend any ill-will.
Also, as a Noachide, the only Scripture I accept is the Tanach and that's way older than 2.000 years

Stepping out: A history of high heelsBut interestingly enough, women weren't the first wore them. High-heeled shoes were first worn by MEN. And these heels weren't as much about mobility as nobility.
One painting in the exhibition show King Louis XIV of France wearing very high, red-heeled shoes. "Height and elevation has always had something to do with indicating class, privilege, power," said Small.
When Did Girls Start Wearing Pink? | Arts & Culture | SmithsonianFor example, a June 1918 article from the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department said, “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.”
Because not everyone believes in the bible?
I believe in the Bible. I actually read one, so let me be the first to say, I can confirm the Bible does indeed exist.
Ever stop to wonder who decides what clothing is for men vs what clothing is for women? Here's a hint - it's people, not God. God supposedly birthed us into The Garden, where clothes weren't even necessary. That was actually the plan, wasn't it? That humanity all remain in The Garden? Where we all would have remained NAKED - no clothes. But then a bite of the apple was taken (gasp!) and suddenly clothes were "necessary." So... do you seriously think God sat down with Adam and Eve and designed the garments they were to wear? Does God have need of clothes?If it states very clearly in the Bible that any women who wear any items of Male clothing are an "Abomination unto The Lord" then why do so many women wear Male clothing?
