I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

Sarongs are the answer. In warmer months I wear them often.

I tried on my wife's skirt and walked around the house one day.

Easy, breezy, like A/C on my balls. Shit was kinda nice.

I quite like pants and am very uncomfortable in a dress, so I wouldn't want to give up pants for dresses.

I've almost stopped wearing shorts completely. Except for swimming. I now wear UPF sun protected pants and sun hoodies most of the time outside. Hate sunscreen but hate being burned more. I've watched my dad get a lot of potentially cancerous moles removed. I'm trying to prevent that

I would never wear a dress. Pants are fine with me. I'd be perfectly content just wearing jeans and a t shirt for the rest of my life.

Not me, I wear comfy loose shorts all summer. They are so loose and comfy that my dong can be seen flopping around as I walk. I imagine it's somewhat close to what a dress might feel like, and it's very comfy in the hot months.

ong you get used to it after a while. it would be cool tho if it was socially acceptable for dudes to wear dresses. sun dresses look really comfy during the summer time.

An underrated aspect of dresses (IMO) is that it's all one garment - no deciding which shirt goes with which pants - it's all one thing. Of course you still need to choose other things like shoes, but it feels refreshingly simple to just have one garment. I guess you get the same benefit with jumpsuits but people wear those less.

I've often complained about how females have so many more options for clothing than men. Men get shirts and pants. You can choose to have long or short sleeves (same with pants). You can accessorize with a belt too! maybe a watch if you like. Beyond that uhh, that's all you get lol

I would gladly wear a Roman senatorial toga all the time.

If it's not comfy, I'm not wearing it.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

If I actually wanted to wear a dress, I totally would. Somehow I can’t get over the idea of everyone looking up my crotch as soon as I sit down.

Only if we can get rid of bras. Thats the trade!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Can we keep sportsbras at least? I don’t want to end up with a back injury…

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

nah it's alright

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I've never wanted to wear a dress, I do however enjoy the fact that I can work naked from home.

I used to feel really sad about having to wear pants all the time. Some might have even called it dysphoric.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
