David Graeber - on Dickheads
In 2015 the late (and great) David Graeber wrote a shortish essay on "Dickheads" in which he discusses certain limitations of Male fashion and attire. Parts of it would surely be of interest to some of us.

Re: David Graeber - on Dickheads
Wow, that article went a bit freudian. It’s also hilarious that the headline hints at the conclusion without giving it away.
Lots of good points - though not being a scholar I don’t know if I have the right “credentials” to asses its “accuracy”. Much to contemplate!

I liked this enough to invest in the work study.
Always found the flamboyant tie brigade amusing and now I know why.
As for Freudian, would that be Sigmund or Clement, the Grandson?
The latter certainly produced a ton of verbal manure in his time.
Politician and celebrity chef, need I say more?

In defence of Clement, I personally found his particular brand of dry humour very much to my taste. Several radio panel shows are the poorer for his passing.
