Reply #163: Well, Jonny boy, some of us HAVE to buy women's clothing because

[Lydia Leftcoast]

we aren't shaped like men. I couldn't even wear jeans in the years when they were made only in men's sizes.

As for the other goop, I hardly buy any, because I'm self-employed and work from home.

However, when I was teaching on the college level, I had to dress up, because it was quite clear that while the men faculty could get away with teaching in whatever they felt like (including T-shirt, cutoffs, and flipflops in one case), any deviation from the "dress for success" look on the part of women faculty got you called into the department chair's office for a talk about your "unprofessional appearance."

So unless you were a woman in a previous life, you have NO IDEA what you're talking about.
