Down with underwear!

Depends on what you mean by "cling to power". Everyone, women included, is averse to disempowerment. Women entered the workforce in larger numbers almost simultaneously with pants becoming acceptable business attire for them. (a fashion shift that began slightly earlier than their entrance into the workforce) So, women had the opportunity to invent the norms as they emerged from their previous nearly-exclusive roles as housekeepers and caregivers. Men, in contrast, are not the new ones on the block, so have no freedom to re-imagine their norms as they go. To avoid being disempowered by being seen as weirdos, men must adhere to the existing norms. That's not "clinging" to anything except the ability to get a job and support oneself.

Now there is also clinging to masculinity and fear of femininity as loss of masculinity, and a social prejudice against femininity in men that is much stronger than the prejudice against masculinity in women, and this does have to do with the perception of men as having power and being expected to value it above all else, but this is mostly also (a rational) fear of disempowerment, not an active seeking of power itself.

IMV, IMHO, YMMV, etc..

Anyone who has ever had an Art Frahm moment (as I have) will receive this wry comment somewhat differently.

To bring this post back on topic I must say that the prospect of having such a moment would be much more terrifying if the malfunctioning garment was visibly very feminine.

Here's a cheeky picture of my drawers

Indeed, I've never worn women's clothing in my life!

Under where?

Ah Kilty,,
But those drawers are on the chest. It's the ones further down that we must not speak about.

Never stolen anything from your wife? I liked one of my wife's shirts so much I wore it out before she even had a chance to wear it.

'Fraid not my friend! We're two different sizes anyway. She did fall in love with one pair of my socks once and wore them off and on for a few years. So I guess that makes her the crossdresser of the marriage!

Is it OK to post this picture of some briefs?

Well, I've not stolen anything of MOH's but she has given me some of her skirts and a dress. But she then objects to me wearing them. There's a term for that, I think.

Aieee! My eyes! My wonderful eyes!

Mentioning UNmentionables - What part of not mentioning UNmentionables do you not understand !

Now close your (chest of) drawers; (files of) briefs and drop all this banter about things dropping out of place from dark regions.

All in good humor - damn the dress codes and articles of the garment confederation !

My eldest granddaughter asked me to drive her to her boyfriend's house and on the journey I took the opportunity to have a chat with her about why I wear skirts. She always seemed embarrassed when around me in my skirt. She appreciates a bit better now why I do wear one but she says that she can also appreciate MOH's feelings.
