41. When you use it repeatedly
to draw distinctions between the genders or to remind us, always, she's not a "normal" suit, but one that needs that marker to remind us she's not a guy, she's different, it doesn't disprove anything. Why not ask yourself why you are so drawn to that phrase, "empty pant suit? You use it a lot. It hit me, because the thread I read right before this, just by chance, had you using the same exact phrase. It's not accidental, at this point it's an obvious repetition of that phrase that you're using, and very obviously a gender-based image.

Why is that? What are you after by repeating it so many times here?
