outside of the pressure cooker that is school, women dressing in sweats and loose jeans don't seem to be walking like they're flipping the finger to society
Oh, that's certainly true. And Jessica's right: it's hella easier for a woman to dress a little masculine than for a man to dress a little feminine.
Now if only we could extend the mellowness of your workplace w/rt gender presentation to all the middle schools in the country!
Even this week's business formal involved an oversized cardigan over her slacks and button-down shirt.
Really? I would not call a cardigan business formal. A jacket is business formal. I mean, a man in business formal is in a suit, right? A woman in business formal is in a dress or a suit (skirts or pants, it wouldn't matter): that's my interpretation, anyway.
Am I being too much of a stickler?
Online banking doesn't have your entire account number on it.
No credit card statements? (I'd be screwed if I were trying to call from the road or something, but at home I have those)
I have mine memorized for ease of online buying, but it is kind of a funny situation to be asked for the card number on the card
you no longer have.
Am I being too much of a stickler?
No. Business formal is a suit.
Completely off-point, but
The subtext is that pink and glitter contaminate anything they touch [with their dangerous femininity].
I can't speak to pink (outside of laundry), but glitter totally contaminates everything it touches. That shit's like herpes (seemed like a good idea at the time, gets everywhere, can't get rid of it). I may be bitter.
But that's the thing itself, not the femininity aspect.
Hey, what's the thread limit now? I hope it's not 20K.
Well, not with me. I'm at work.
I thought is was 20K...do we need a name?
HOOKERS AND BLOW FOR THE CURE
