Men in clothes persecuted me. Let’s ban clothes.
Someone in a suit is always suspicious.
They play dress-up to represent something that they aren’t, to get you to think that they’re serious and competent.
Someone who really has competentence and something behind the looks can show up in rags and I will trust that person. Someone in a suit makes me question, what are they hiding? Why the need to show off?
You at a wedding: “Why is every man here wearing a suit? What are they hiding? Suspicion indeed!”
Nah, in this setting I would ask myself:
Why do we require suits for a wedding? We’re celebrating a couple, how does wearing a suit make it more celebratory?
And then probably go on a rant about our superficial society.
But the only wedding I would actually attend would be one where we’d sit on the ground in jeans and hoodies and pass a joint, or something like that.
Why not go entirely naked then? Jeans and hoodies is also an imposed norm by society just done by a different sub culture.
People have been dressing in special costumes for celebrations since clothes were invented. Wearing special clothes for special occasions are part of what makes them special.
Also, wearing a suit and passing around a joint are not mutually exclusive:-)
My wife and I attended our friend’s wedding in our Hogwarts House outfits, Ravenclaw x Hufflepuff. Everyone else looked like they either had never seen a tailor before or had the same old suit sitting in the closet for years until that day.
I don’t want to have my ‘best’ dressed day to be in my casket… a man named Jidenna taught me that.
Maybe just stop basing your risk assessment on articles of clothing
Slaves are rarely dangerous.
They’re equating a piece of clothing with its use by autocratic regimes to oppress women, while conveniently ignoring the fact that outside of those autocratic regimes, in the most progressive countries in the world women choose to wear burqas and other similar articles of clothing of their own free will every day.
And I’m saying this as an atheist American. I see absolutely no difference between a woman choosing to wear a burqa or to wear the attire of a catholic nun or to wear a potato sack. What she chooses to wear is her own damn business.
You think that muslim women aren’t oppressed in western countries? Sure, the government won’t lock them up, but their social circles will shun them if they don’t comply.
Suits should be legal for anyone to wear except for rich important businessmen. Fuck the man, and fuck his dress codes.
