1) would your reprsentative consider putting in an amendment that would ban gaucho pants? I think they are oppressive, by which I mean, terribly unflattering. Also, those "dress shorts", leggings without skirts over them, ugg brand boots whenever it is not snowing and empire waist tops.

2) will you marry me?

Re: two questions misswong November 25 2006, 04:56:09 UTC

oh and tube tops. ban the oppressive tube top.

Re: two questions ameyadevi November 25 2006, 05:01:43 UTC

but..but.. i like empire waist tops!! they hide my belly rolling over the edge of my jeans ;p. I agree on the dress shorts bit though..

Re: two questions misswong November 25 2006, 05:21:29 UTC

I think they make my boobs look ridiculous. I guess we'll have to battle over who gets to truly be the feminist-fashion police.

Re: two questions herkyjerkydance November 25 2006, 05:23:11 UTC

Gaucho pants are nice if it's a "fuck it, I'm-a stay home, watch movies, eat fatty foods and sip whiskey" kind of day. Formal shorts, on the other hand, are never OK.

Also, when Ugg boots first started being fashionable, I read so much commentary from rural Australians who were like "Ha ha ha! We only wear those when we're walking out to slop the pigs/pick up the newspaper/whatever!"

Re: two questions misswong November 25 2006, 05:26:18 UTC

don't get me wrong, ugg boots are seriously awesome here in the northern midwest because they keep your feet nice and warm.
But I think west coasters who wear them with miniskirts are oppressing me...or y'know, look kinda dumb.
I also feel women are deeply oppressed by the trend of high school age girls wearing nothing but long underwear.

Re: two questions touchyphiliac November 23 2007, 07:15:05 UTC

I missed out on this trend entirely, but benefited by getting some extremely cheap long johns to wear under jeans during winter.

Re: two questions jabuticaba November 25 2006, 06:18:34 UTC

what? I LOVE the dress shorts.

Re: two questions misswong November 25 2006, 06:23:42 UTC

you just think you love the dress short because you were obviously raised in a backward, dress-short wearing, patriarchal culture that made you wear dress shorts.
Shorts are never appropriate for formal situations, to believe otherwise is unfeminist.

Re: two questions jabuticaba November 25 2006, 06:26:12 UTC

obvi.

i might have to seriously look into my dress-short wearing habits. thank you for bringing this matter to me. i suppose i'd better renounce my gauchos too.

Re: two questions misswong November 25 2006, 06:28:09 UTC

Just as an fyi:
Skinny jeans are being hotly debated in the Feminist Fashion Rules Society as we speak. We're stuck on whether skinny jeans are inherently oppressive or only oppressive when tucked into boots.

Re: two questions jabuticaba November 25 2006, 06:29:56 UTC

Oh god! Oh no! I tucked my skinny jeans into boots tonight. (No joke. Actually happened.)

I should just be banned from feminist until I throw out all my skinny jeans, gauchos, and leggings.

Re: two questions touchyphiliac November 25 2006, 09:31:05 UTC

Y'all are hijacking this thread!! This is a serious topic and you are discussing the feminism of Ugg boots??

Re: two questions bestdaywelived November 25 2006, 20:52:21 UTC

I agree. Those dress shorts are infiltrating my office building, and nothing is sillier than shorts with knee-high boots and a massive sweater, because, hey it's 30 degrees out, and if you're cold, you can't think about feminism.

LMAO. This whole thread here has completely made my morning. :P
