There are other culture where men wear skirts, but yes it is odd that Westerners tend to freak out about it. I think it has to do with so many years of strict gender roles. Women were not allowed to wear pants so men wearing skirts would just be too feminine in general.

Change always starts small. It's amazing how a tiny snowball can become an avalanche.

I know a very very large man (in height and breadth) who wears a shiny bridal gown skirt, corset (not tied very tightly) and tiara to festivals. We'll find you something!

Or they did it once, didn't really inhale, and acted all snooty about it :D

No worries :D Sometimes I start in on something only to find that, by the end of it, I've ranted way far off my original point.

My very VERY anti-drug grandmother started smoking, at the behest of her neighbor, to help manage her pain. Before she began she was unable to get out of bed, didn't have any sort of appetite (my grandma LOVED food and loved to eat, so this was heartbreaking) and was generally miserable.

I know a number of people from high school (I did not smoke then) who wound up like this as well. However, I know a far larger number of people I associate with currently who absolutely have their shit together and also smoke weed. I'm going on 30 now, and I just became part of a theme camp (it's in the festival…

But there are a lot of really thoughtful replies here, with evidence to back it up.

I just wanted to pop in to give you a thumbs up for this post. It was super informed, thoughtful, and respectfully worded. Go you!

I hope there are some Logo folks reading this, because you made my eyes shimmer with pure delight tears. That would be the greatest program on television and I would watch it on a loop, all damn day.

Again, I never said you should be perfect/need to be perfect/need to conform. All I said was; your posts are difficult to read without punctuation. That is all. Perfection is not necessary. Merely that, without punctuation of any kind, a sentence can mean anything and the opinion contained therein is convoluted and…

Uptight asshole? I spoke to you with nothing but respect. I didn't call you names or speak down to you, and you reply by calling me an uptight asshole?

I never called you stupid, and honestly it's difficult to focus on another else on your posts. Punctuation can change the meaning of sentences completely, and when it isn't there at all it is hard to tell your meaning or point.

Your posts are very difficult to understand without any punctuation. It isn't that your opinions are wrong or invalid, it's more that it is very difficult to understand the point you're trying to make.

Cryosurgery? I've had that as well, and boy was it painful. Not so much the procedure itself, but about 5 minutes after she was finished the pain started.

I figured that was what it meant but I wanted to be sure. Thanks! I really like that term, much more discreet than my usual descriptive of 'ass reek'. Mind if I use it?

Yes, this, but you must not walk away. You must strut away, preferably in ridiculous heels. Because that is the image I have in my head now :D

The pong coming from them? I know you don't mean the Atari game... what is pong slang for now?

I know, which is why I mentioned Vice. Karley's style may be more suited for that site in general.
