I looked at your t-shirts, didn't see any that I really wanted to wear. But I want to support what you do, so I'm just going to bump up my Patreon pledge a bit instead. I can't tell you how happy it made me that you called out even a little bit of the idiocy that is women's fashion as dictated by other women.

Yeah, a lot of Rose's statements weren't that intelligible and even the ones where the words were in grammatically correct complete sentences, there were a lot of problems with the logic and reasoning she was using. Most of it sounded more like rationalizing than reasoning. Regarding the comments on suits, and trying to match the complexity of a gender that thinks shaving off your eyebrows and drawing them back on is a good solution to the problem of having eyebrows, this is my own little mini-rant: it's not all women, but a lot of claim that men rule the world, so if a woman wants to achieve anything it's only through appealing to or manipulating men, and then those same women come up with some absolutely bonkers difficult-to-pull-off physical embellishment and convince other women "this is what men want". A lot of the men I've been around either don't notice, are baffled, or are repelled, but it's more of a dominance game women play with other women using men as the supposed arbiter of taste and malign influence who is forcing the women to do this. The last few years it's been eyebrow waxing (I've never heard any guy say anything about eyebrows besides not liking really obnoxious unibrows); but I've also seen the long artificial nails and/or long artificial fancily-painted and bedazzled nails be a thing that women think they need to do in order to look pretty (again, never heard a man say they liked that look and have been around a number of men who said the really long nails look like they'd cause a lot of pain in tender areas and are therefore a bit of a turn-off); hairstyles and hair coloring that need to be touched up or reclipped at least once every two weeks or more often to look right (most guys don't notice this at all, to them it's just hair, but among women it's a sign that the woman has a guy who supports her so well she can spend the time or money to go the hairdresser once a week, or alternatively that she has so little going on in her life going to the hairdresser is important enough to schedule at least once a week); and makeup that goes beyond enhancing and some nice shading to looking like a clay mask (again, only met one guy in my life who said he thinks it's hot when a woman looks like a completely different person when she wakes up than she does after she puts on all her makeup, most guys are either baffled or mildly horrified, it was a common joke in the 1990s to talk about how horrible it would be to be Jim Bakker when his wife Tammy Faye wore so much makeup she probably left half her face on the pillow when she went to sleep). There's bonus points among women for styles that are not only difficult to pull off but make it almost impossible to do anything besides sit around and look pretty: long artificial nails and lots of touchy fussy makeup that can't be smeared or displaced (or god forbid, sweated through) are examples of this. No, I don't get it either. I'm female, and it still makes no sense to me. Men's suits are made to last a long time without pulling out of shape and made to make the wearer look good and to be comfortable in. I've worn men's suit coats and women's suit coats (used to have an office job that sometimes needed business semi-casual and it was a lot easier to get a button-down shirt and a suit coat than try to figure out the arcane rules of what type of sweater/shell/cardigan/scarf/whatever out of the women's section would qualify as business attire and what was too casual). Women's suit coats are cut with the sleeves not meant to be raised any higher than what you'd need to type at a keyboard. It's rare that I've found a women's suit coat with the same attention paid to lining, seam finishing, and shape reinforcement that is in men's suit coats. I've talked to very few women who have ever compared men's and women's suit coats, but over the years I've talked to a couple men who have looked at the cut and construction of both men's and women's suit coats and they've all been surprised and appalled at how much more cheaply women's business clothing is made for similar items costing a similar amount of money as in the men's business section. Even the skirts that are in women's business suits with skirts, are not made to move in. They're usually pencil skirts that look good while sitting primly and properly at a desk, and not much else. There's even a few clips I've seen online of a female office worker wearing one of those skirts who's in a position where they have to get up on stage and address an audience, and if they have to sit down for the talk they have to be really careful how they sit. The skirt that is made to move in, has lots room to move, still looks good, is comfortable to wear, is expensive but wears like iron so if you buy one and take good care of it it'll last for years, and has enough fabric to drape that you can sit above an audience however you want and still be able to comfortable but not worried about flashing them? A men's kilt. And yeah, I've worn men's style kilts (women's kilts are a different thing, longer, lighter fabric, shallower pleats, which is why I say men's style kilts) that were cut to fit me and after that I never went back to pencil skirts. Rose can talk all she wants about men oppressing this or men oppressing that or whatever. All that idiocy I've just described in women's fashion is something women tell other women they should be doing, and then blame men for it.
