any guy in it just for women to wear skimpier clothing should probably be investigated.

Everyone believes they're choosing freely, especially when they're choosing what their culture taught them to want.

[-] ILikeToMeow@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago

That applies to literally everyone and doesn't justify anything, men are no less or more immune, and the choice should be the one who is or would be wearing or not wearing a given piece of clothing on whether they do or don't wear it. Neither men nor the state should be taking the agency for women to decide for themselves what to or to not wear.

At best this makes your comment unrelated, random, and pointless, as it says nothing. But we both know you are actually providing cover for the misogynist view that women shouldn't be able to decide for themselves. It's not exactly subtle, not even slightly, in fact it is infuriating. So please, look deep inside yourself, reflect, and STOP!

[-] bryophile@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Yes you're absolutely right, anyone of any gender should be able to wear or not wear what they want.

My point was more philosophical. It is indeed random and pointless, but I find it interesting to think of things like this. You may not find this interesting or read something misogynist into this, which was definitely far from what I meant so I'm sorry for offending you.

Please consider the context and read the room in the future, (or in this case the OP picture for which the thread is about) the time and place of such commentary also changes it's apparent character. Water under the bridge. 🙃

The room was empty when I got here, so everyone behind me should have read the room

They are not deciding for themselves. That’s the point. Although banning is also not the solution either, I agree.

I generally wear what's most comfortable for me. Sometimes I'll "dress up" for stuff where it's socially still "required" like job interviews or weddings, but even that is rare for me.

Yet you don't wear 16th century Shakespearean clothes to work because you don't live in 16th century England

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

If they were available and comfortable, I might. Where the hell am i supposed to get them?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

oh my friend! Evangeline's (the costume store in Sacramento) just reopened! I can't speak to comfortable but I can speak to where.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I live on the east coast, so I'll just stick to the stuff I can get locally. It's comfortable.

Edit: Thank you, though. If I ever find myself in Sacramento, I'll have to look the place up

I actually had a few gowns in such a design. They were very fun to wear!

You must be at a boring workplace, we have several goths and one lady who daily wears renaissance era clothing and is big on renaissance fairs and medieval combat.

If it's not a health and safety risk, who cares. I mean flip flops and a budgie smuggler are not appropriate to wear on a factory floor.

my favorite job, favorite boss, our dress code was "if you can get here without getting arrested it's fine". the day i showed up dressed like i was going to the beach (because guess what i was doing at noon) the boss came back and said "okay, new rule, if i have a client coming in you need to at least have pants and shoes on"

please don't talk like you know me
