After years of oppression, downtrodden women in are banding together to take back the rights and freedoms that were stolen from them by abusive and powerful.
And it looks like the shock waves of the historic movement are being felt as far from Hollywood as Tontitown, Arkansas.
Or maybe we’re just being too dramatic about pants.
Yes, if you’re a fan of the Duggars, then you know Jim Bob and Michelle’s daughters have been taking a very literal approach to answering the question of who wears the pants in the family.
It all began when Jinger Duggar wore pants in a photo that was posted to Instagram back in March.
Fans were stunned by the brazen defiance of her family’s dress code, and for months, it looked like Jinger would be alone in her rebellion.
But then, earlier this week, something incredible happened.
Jinger’s older sister, the staunchly conservative Jill Duggar, also wore pants in a photo that made the rounds on social media.
And now, a third Duggar may have joined the fight against floor-length denim skirts:
That’s an image that was posted on Reddit this week and has since been making its around social media.
Some fans believe it shows Jessa Duggar wearing pants while walking in front of her husband, Ben Seewald.
Others beg to differ, pointing out that it’s nearly impossible to determine if that’s actually Jessa, and arguing that even if it is, she’s not necessarily wearing pants.
“I agree with everyone who is saying it looks like leggings under a skirt. However, if it is Jessa, it is still a departure from her family’s modesty standards. That skirt is way shorter than knee length,” wrote one commenter.
“The skirt doesn’t even reach halfway down her thighs. Her knees are definitely showing through the jeans/leggings,” remarked another.
Short of Jessa publicly revealing that it’s really her in the photo, we’ll probably never know for sure.
But it’s worth noting it wasn’t all that long ago that we would’ve immediately dismissed the possibility of a Duggar woman wearing pants in public.
These days, thousands of fans are actually considering the possibility that Jessa might have walked around a city in something resembling pants.
Sometimes, even the most long-overdue progress takes place at a glacial pace.
