My guess isa that the designer was a twelve to sixteen year old boy. Because that's about the age range to think that was funny.

No, I must disagree slightly. Whatever you choose to wear is in this year. I don't think you could look frumpy (or even less than marvelous) in a cardigan over an old-fashioned nightgown over a potato sack over bloomers. And I STILL look forward to your long, intelligent threads!

I will never understand the machismo-laden mind of people who'd rather be assholes than being corrected. And when it comes to you... if it's one of your specialties (philosophy or sociology, bartending, nifty poetry), I'm far more likely to ASK you to correct me. WHY my gender so often STUPID!?
Captain Curmudgeon (@legacyhero.bsky.social) reply parent
Me, I'm used to being corrected by women, and that's FINE. I just want to be corrected when needs be. Who doesn't matter, so long as they're civilized about it. (The martial arts thing was on sensei's orders, because I would NOT strike back at a woman. So he forced the issue via Stephanie.)
Captain Curmudgeon (@legacyhero.bsky.social) reply parent
I've had my butt stomped into the ground by a woman who was literally less than 1/2 my size (in a martial arts class, and she was NOT a teacher). In the last 53 years, I've lost at Scrabble 3 times, all to the same woman, who's not even an English fanatic, she's all about STEM. And BRILLIANT.
