But isn't it nice to have that choice? It sounds like the same thing you want including the same freedom from assumptions why they dress the way they do.merlin wrote:Women seem to wear whatever they like, however lacking in taste or decorum they may appear to anyone else. Sadly, (& partly as a result of this) many of them are slowly succumbing to the feminazi's 'ideal' of becoming 'second-class men'.

Whilst I'm all for freedom of choice (for everyone), it appears to me that an inate 'desire' to 'follow the herd', fashion-wise will draw (un-wanted?) attention to (what shall we say?) one's least attractive features. Wearing tight lycra shorts (or worse, 'capris') & 'croptops', when your buttocks are the size of the Brecon Beacons, with a spare tyre hanging over the edge means you're almost certainly going to attract comments, ridicule or even verbal abuse. As a (currently) badly overweight person myself, I am particularly conscious of not emphasising what I consider my 'bad' points. To this end, skirts happen to be a darn' sight more flattering to the body, male or female proportioned. Obesity is, sadly, one area not covered by 'protective' legislation, so is (apparently) still potential 'open ground' for abuse, be it 'friendly' or otherwise (see comedy shows like "Little Britain", for instance). So, no, personally I don't desire the 'freedom' to dress in a manner that highlights my perceived weaknesses.Skirt Chaser wrote:But isn't it nice to have that choice?

Unlike Merlin, I do relish the freedom to dress badly and to look like a sack of sh1t if I chose to, so long as I also have the option not to exercise that freedommerlin wrote:So, no, personally I don't desire the 'freedom' to dress in a manner that highlights my perceived weaknesses.

Have fun,

Do not argue with idiots; they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
