And so men don't feel left out, here is another 'little thing' Paul instructed men to do' - 1 Timothy 2:8 - Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and disputing or quarreling or doubt [in their mind].
Sorry, for those who know my history, I couldn't resist.
Uncovering addressed the gents, but you're correct. We are directed to raise our hands in prayer.
How did you overcome this?
When I started covering it was mixed I was getting "legalistic" & I wondered if I was too.
I wonder what Paul would think about his instructions being labeled as "legalistic"? Especially over such a simple thing as covering/uncovering your head when you pray or prophesy? What a little thing to do! The very definition of "the least of these commands"! Matthew 5:19
Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Kind of appropriate. That's exactly how I would picture the Pharisee in Luke 18. And "holy" doesn't matter apparently.
