A whole new batch of "rules"? No, wisdom passed down over the years from one's ancestors (in the case of female-to-male, mostly accidental). If you like "underwear as outerwear" as a fashion statement (It's been done before in the 1980s), go for it. I happen to think it looks ta...

When my daughter was in marching band, the girls had to wear beige underneath the white uniform pants. Supposedly white-under-white shows through but beige-under-white does not? My slips are all beige (ivory) or black. As for length, I like it to end a few inches above the hem so it doesn't show. Y...

Children's clothes would be basically the same ie boys can very well wear the same as girls, so it's mainly symbolic. Correct. The pre-pubescent male and female forms are large indistinguishable and hence be discounted in fit terms. Where it matters is with the parents and how closed-minded they ar...

This sort of idiocy is one of the reasons that our society is headed straight down the loo at this point in time. So it's got pink in it. So bloody what? Are dreams "masculine" or "feminine"? How do we police those? [0] Does it matter that pink was at one point a boy's colour bei...

Slips are just about surviving, as many High Street shops didn’t seem to know whether to stock them or not in recent years and where they did stock them , they reduced the amount of lace in the hem. M and S in particular. Slips will, in all likelihood, soldier on until the skirt is entirely obsolet...

Slips are one of the truly functional parts of a woman's wardrobe -- and very simple, too. It's just a swath of fabric designed to be "slippery" and to control friction between other layers. Heavier ones can be deployed for a little bit of extra warmth, but the lighter-weight ones are simp...

And that's what the world needs now. Desperately. "A sensible approach."

Well, let's not start a fight over this one. 50 or 42 doesn't make a whit of difference, something smacks me as "out of place" in that scenario, and I'd bring in the the mental heath folks to run an analysis on the guy in question. The operative thought should be here, "Would I behave...

One word: "Greed".

Stevie, Thanks for the rebuttal to Damon. It needed saying, and I've been in a bit over my head with idiocy at work. Extraordinary claims it is said always require corresponding proof, although this is altogether too frequently lost in the moment. I was just happy to have gotten through the day and ...

As I said, aged 3 or 4 is one thing, but 9 or 10? We have to draw the line somewhere. Indeed, and that's where the focus should be -- on what's reasonable and likely to be accepted by all (preferably) or at least most . As far as the hypothetical "situation" above; that was pure hyperbole...

On, "How far will we have gone?", the answer is easy. The extent of the human presence in the universe extends roughly radially from Earth to the locations of the two Voyager spacecraft. This is not going to change, likely in the next several thousand years. Thanks to "human nature&qu...

I think that one problem we're having is that we're having this discussion across multiple cultures and the viewpoints of those cultures. I tend to draw distinctions based on intents. What is the intent of having a child present in an otherwise adult setting? At ages up to about 4 or 5, I can't real...

Sometimes humour is best delivered subtly. It's more lethal that way,

It's attempting to recall a fantasy past that never existed in the version that's portrayed for the "little people" to believe -- and since nobody here actually reads history and bothers to scratch the surface they believe unquestioningly and the cycle perpetuates itself. In the middle of ...
