My adult son suggested I change into pants before going someplace formal with him a few times. I politely declined and he now seems used to it.

Re: David Ross Lawn
With #2, there's a major stigma we the common folk are going against and trying to overcome. I live in a conservative small town. I'm almost always in a skirt, although I wear trousers or a dress once in a while. I don't find any major stigma. Probably some folks used to talk about me behind my bac...

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5
So why do we need to rehash it over and over again????? I agree with Al it is unnecessary to do so. There are new people in the cafe since the last discussion. They want to be part of the conversation. That's fine with me. People have already said what I had to say--that other verses in the same ch...

Re: Let's never speak this word again
Women wearing pants did not occur, in America, until Katharine Hepburn wore them off a movie setback in the 1940s-50s. My mom told me the story of how when she moved from Chicago to a Minnesota farm in 1930, she was the first girl around to wear snow pants in the winter. It was already normal in Ch...

Re: That rare male compliment
My wife had to be hospitalized in Peoria for about 8 days for neck surgery. I stayed with her, but got to go home once and changed into this dress for comfort. I wore it day and night about 4 days. A lead nurse (male) and a head doctor (female) mentioned it. The nurse thought it very practical and t...

Re: let's list why we like skirts
"Why?" questions aren't even real queries. They're just disingenuous probing into someone else without even the respect of trying to understand their perspective. My answer to "why?" is a little personal, but may be helpful to many, so I will respond. I dealt with an itchy skin ...

"If there is a transactional cost for handling cash", then it stays in local wages, not going to enrich the bankers.

Re: Cash or plastic?
cash-is-king.jpg Spending locally, with cash the money stays local. Fifty transactions from store to store and the money is still local. With plastic, the banks get a percentage, say 1%, each time. With 50 transactions the banks own about half the money. I understand that charging a surcharge for p...

But isn't a state of mind real? You can argue whether it is a choice or delusion, but it is still real.

Re: Gender Neutral Fashion is failing skirt-wearing boys
The term "non-binary" frequently represents a rejection of socially constructed and heteronormative gender roles, rather than a counter-factual denial of biological sex.... A rejection? So it's an ideology rather than a concrete reality? ... Yes, it is a social stance. I'm a naturist. I c...

Re: Gender Neutral Fashion is failing skirt-wearing boys
It is a normal human response to want to be able to recognise others as being either male or female by sight, and especially if interacting with them. The way that is achieved is through visual signifiers, including dress and hairstyle. That's not going to change. Is this taught or innate? I suspec...

Re: Weather in your location ?
Here in Tiskilwa, Illinois, it's -15°F, with a wind chill of -35°F.
It is forecast to warm up to -6°F this afternoon, with a wind chill of a balmy -25°F.
They even canceled our church service, except by Zoom. I don't think I'll be out and about much today.
