I haven’t had the patience to go through the discussions that developed in the wake of the Men’s Rights Subreddit’s historic winning of the prestigious King Dick of Fart Mountain Subreddit of the Day award yesterday. But I did read enough to come across this little exchange, in which a heroic Men’s Rightser confessed how touched he was that someone outside the Men’s Rights subreddit had noticed the bold, brave activism of Reddit MRAs.
And then someone pointed out some other things he’s said a couple of days ago.
NWOslave, is that you?
Actually, I doubt it; NWOslave has an account under his own name there. But great minds do think alike.
Here’s the link to StarFscker’s original comment in context.
I’m more questioning why skinny jeans were invented, but yes, ouch!
Wouldn’t skirts be a bit, um, exposed? (Then again, I simply won’t wear skirts above my knees, feels too exposed)
I initially resisted skinny jeans, since I’d worn them the first time around, but they sure are useful if you want to wear boots. Also warmer when it’s cold, since the air can’t get in at the bottom.
I would feel too exposed in a mini, but a knee length skirt should be fine, and with a long skirt someone would have to be lying on the ground to see anything.
Ok then? I haven’t the figure for skinny jeans (nor thigh exposing skirts, that’s the not-an-ex’s territory!)
Maybe it’s just that I don’t wear skirts without stockings? Idk, doesn’t matter I guess, this is definitely a matter of taste after all.
Is this strictly a vagina-bearer thing (assuming you two have ’em), or should I try and figure out what you’re on about?
I’m too short to wear skirts below the knee, they make me look like a kid playing dress-up.
The jeans + commando thing? I can’t imagine it being any comfier for someone with dangly bits. Though I do know of a guy who wears leather pants sans undies on stage. Looks great, but I wonder how he copes with the chafing.
Probably depends on a lot. Leather pants are often lined, and if not, seams in suede seem less uncomfortable. I’m basing a lot of this on one pair of women’s size 8 pair I have and squeezed into a few years ago, though. I could probably juuuuuust still fit into them, but it’d be pretty obscene.
And judging by photos of Robert Plant and similar, there wasn’t a big undies trend in the ’70s and they seemed to get along just fine.
I guess the seam is softer than on jeans, but his pants are sprayed-on tight. Maybe booze helps.
lowquacks — be more specific? Maybe I’m just tired, but I’m not exactly sure what we’re on about! (I’m not exactly thrilled with the prospect of acknowledging the configuration of my dangly bits, so I’m highly averse to the idea of accidentally letting anyone sneak a peak)
If re: skirts and commando — I know a couple kilt fans, underwear are apparently common under kilts. If re: jeans, idfk, I refuse to wear skinny jeans on the principle I have the proverbial “chicken legs” (I have no calves to speak of, and my thighs are nearly as wide as my corseted waist, fucking biology!)
I found going commando (in the days before weight gain = chafing) surprisingly uncomfortable – and I’m talking about in long skirts, so not psychologically uncomfortable. (I’d never do it in shorter skirts, too risky!) TMI so you may want to skip, but it was like bits were shifting around that didn’t while wearing pants, and it didn’t feel good. Odd, since said bits are fine when I’m wearing jammies or nighties; I think it’s more to do with the longer, faster stride of outdoor walking as distinct from indoor walking.
I don’t imagine the commando-goer of the house would do so if he had to worry about little earthly matters like Chafing of the Bits. 😀
I like skinny jeans as in stretch jeans because elastic waist! 😀 Also yes, boots. And being short enough not to have to turn the damn things up (me being too lazy to actually shorten them).
@Argenti
I’m not sure what you want me to be specific about? Robert Plant was Led Zeppelin’s singer, and wore the type of jeans popular at the time that made abundantly obvious whether one was wearing underwear or not, particular at his, ahem, size.
Booze definitely helps!
As for “probably be obscene” that’s my opinion on shorts, I’m too modest for my generation, or so it seems!
lowquacks — no, not that, I meant which thing we were talking about — pants or skirts. The typing delay of being on my iPad isn’t helping here! (I’ve got Reid on the laptop! 🙂 )
@Kittehs
Short enough? Please explain!
I’m short-ish and pants seem to be made, sensibly enough, for tall people, but mine tend to be close-fitting enough for them to stay put turn them up on the inside most of the time. This is called the “hillbilly hem”, apparently.
@Argenti
I’m still confuse :
Katie’s stores have a line of stretch pants for those of us who’re wide-ish, and they come in different lengths, since someone has finally figured out that being bigger around the bum doesn’t automatically mean being six foot tall. Only drawback is that the elastic in the waist doesn’t last all that long, so you end up opening the seam and pulling it ever tighter with Safety Pin Power.
Or at least, in my family we do. 🙂
The hems on most of my wider-legged jeans are … I don’t know if there’s even a name for it, but they’re turned up on the outside and held with a plethora of safety pins.
Never mind then! I was questioning what topic you were trying to figure out what we were on about, but the conversation’s moved on just fine, so whatever, it doesn’t matter. I should probably consider sleep and stop being confusing anyways!
“Bits that get rubbed by clothes” is probably specific enough! 😀
Say, does this conversation count as oppressing poor het men? I mean, GIRLY BITS are being mentioned without any proper offering of said girly bits to any fellers in the vicinity.
Nice to know I’m doing my bit for the Matriarchal Feminist Totalitarian Wossname.
I’m sorry for being confuse, Argenti. It does make more sense (if not complete sense) with a reread. Haven’t been able to get hold of (legal, prescribed – actually this time) psychiatric medicine I’ve been using the last few days, if that helps.
Have a lovely sleep!
I did commando in jeans once as a teenager and I was on a camp. I was paranoid about catching hair in the zip. Back then, no one did bikini lines, let alone brazilians.
