Such are the quirks of language and society, eh?Daryl wrote:...Which is exactly why I call mine a purse; not that I want to be considered effeminate but because I refuse to affirm the validity of the fear of being considered effeminate, especially over gendered word associations.
I'd call them mere quirks if people didn't take them so seriously, really to the point of hurting each other with them.Caultron wrote:Such are the quirks of language and society, eh?Daryl wrote:...Which is exactly why I call mine a purse; not that I want to be considered effeminate but because I refuse to affirm the validity of the fear of being considered effeminate, especially over gendered word associations.
Well, except the limited stride. Which brings me to a question I'm pondering as I make some pencil skirts...Mark as in Mark wrote:Ok. Now the Lions have adopted my look!
I have 12 pencil skirts.Daryl wrote: How do you deal with being thusly constrained? Is it a challenge at all? Is it the case that you take shorter steps anyway in heels, so the skirt is less of a factor? What's it like going up and down stairs in one of your pencil skirts?

What's it like going up and down stairs in one of your pencil skirts?All of them are tapered instead of just hanging straight. Of the 12, 8 have some stretch to them. The other 4, do have a higher kick pleat. I also have to take shorter steps when wearing heels, and so, the skirt around the knees is a gentle reminder to do so. I enjoy the restraint for some reason. The skirts have a tendency to ride up the thigh when going up the stairs, so when at the top I have to readjust slightly. No problem at least with the skirt f=going down the stairs.

That's something I never appreciated until I tried it. My thawb constrains my legs too, and lungi (of which I have 4) tend to as well, depending on how you wrap them. (In what I call "Varanasi style", they do not, but in the simpler way I call "everywhere else style", they can.) That constraint means that to sit with your legs together or at least not flopping wide, you do not need to use your muscles, and that is quite relaxing. Circumstantially-imposed bodily mindfulness has a subtle and positive mental effect, I am convinced. Then of course there's the added bonus that when your wife wants you, she's probably going to be able to catch you.Mark as in Mark wrote:I also have to take shorter steps when wearing heels, and so, the skirt around the knees is a gentle reminder to do so.
