Mormon Underwear

___ So, I keep on hearing ridicule about Mormon underwear. Being a religionologist, I happen to know that other groups wear special underwear as well, which remind them of their religious obligations, e.g., Orthodox-Jews & Sikhs. How is it I never hear any ridicule about those? When I googled the words, “religions that wear special underwear,” everything that popped up was only about Mormons. Even when I added the words, “Orthodox-Jews & Sikhs,” still most of what popped up was about Mormons. BTW, only about 30% of Mormons wear the special reminder-underwear.

___ And what’s so ridiculous about wearing special reminder-underwear? Or for that matter, special reminder-outerwear? Or uniforms of any kind? Why are Mormons isolated for ridicule and not everyone else who wears any sort of group-identifying uniform?

___ Many Christian clerics wear funny collars, robes, & caps. Amish dress 19^th century stile, as do Hasidic & Haredi Jews, and many Arabs. Other Orthodox-Jews wear a tiny cap all the time in addition to special underwear. Many are reluctant to ridicule the burka worn by millions of Muslim women, for fear that a suicide-bomber might blow themselves up in their front yard. Then there are the Sikh special-underwear, turban, & bangle. And how about all the athletes who wear matching jock-straps or sports-bras? Street-gangs, of course got to identify themselves by wearing certain colors. Then there are all the millions of people in government-gangs (military) wearing uniforms, which, BTW, also include SPECIAL-UNIFORM-UNDERWEAR. Rastafarians got to mat their hair, etc, etc, etc.

___ Getting my point? So go ahead and ridicule the Mormons if you want, but give equal time to ridiculing everyone else who wears any kind of uniform reminder clothing.
