And if we supposedly feel demeaned by these comparisons with men and if we feel slighted by their heaviness and largeness, pray tell, why don’t we make more efforts to look more like them. Why don’t we stop shaving our legs, for one. And wear shirts and pants and ties and big brogue shoes. Flowing skirts, scarves, lipstick, trash them all…they are stereotypical. Why doesn’t the silly brigade that banned all these words now call for the ban on all forms of clothing or dress that differentiate between the sexes?
Why should I give up my flowing skirt? If a man is, heaven forbid, bigger and heavier, it's a sure sign he needs some soft touches to balance out his , um, manliness, and is in certain need of a flowing skirt.
