She also doesn’t seem to know much about gender, either. Generally men are socialized in a way that discourages complaining about their clothes because that would make them “woman like.” And, of course, much of our society still believes that to be like a woman is to be less of a man. This is why guys don’t generally complain about their clothes or underwear. If a pair of briefs is itching a guy’s balls, he doesn’t complain about it, he just scratches them. And the cotton used in those briefs and boxers are the reason why they’re scratching. Boxers always rode up and briefs were always too itchy. I never get itchy wearing nylon panties and they never ride the way boxers did.

And lastly, [i]Sex In the City[/i] does not empower women. I will repeat this, [i]Sex In the City[/i] DOES NOT empower women. They’re a bunch of middle aged women acting like men. This only reinforces the idea that maleness and masculinity is the “ultimate, higher standard” that all must conform to and sends the message that if women want to succeed in the world they have to conform to the standards of men. But it still keeps femaleness and femininity relegated to that “lesser” position. Like I’ve said a million times, make it socially acceptable for straight men to be feminine in their gender expression and you women will have your equality. It’s not rocket science folks.

I am a convert now, it’s off to do some shopping for new drawers, and some fabric dye while I’m at it.

Subtle slam, you think?

Regardless, kudos to the boxer/brief wearers! I’ll definitely have to try that out. Also, Faceman, your lady is one lucky woman. You sound like a great fellow.

Thanks for checking out my blog.

Sorry!

I’ve been putting up with thongs and always assumed my butt was just too big for women’s underwear. Thongs are impractical during “certain times” and generally pretty uncomfortable — thank you, thank you, thank you for the new idea!
