[Another candidate for the Fundie Word Redefinition Project]
As for the shorts: well, there is a standard.
in this passage, 'nakedness' is defined as making bare the thigh. That is anything above the knee. So, based on that standard, compared to modern clothes, some shorts are ok, some clearly are not!

Clearly "Brother" Randy is further sculpting his survivalist death cult. He has a mass of clueless teenagers who are kept from reading anything disparaging about the bible, and Randy tells them that every word is the truth. This automatically indoctrines their impressionable minds with christian adults supporting the idea of genocide, rape, submissiveness, prophets who had multiple 'wives', punishing those outside of ones own narrow worldview, and the like.
The passage is metaphorical. It's not referring to a woman, but to Babylon. It is saying that proud Babylon will be reduced to slavery, doing manual labor and being humiliated (as a woman in those days would have been if she were forced to walk around with her head and legs uncovered).thighs ?
Whereas for the Exclusive Brethren (aka "peebs", another branch of fundie fucktards) there's no wearing shorts, because "a man's glory is not in his legs".
So, your best idea is that we should use the dress code of the Israelites of thousands of years ago?
This guy has got to be one of the most messed-up people I've ever heard of.
