Trousers are gender-fluid now

[BlackForestCake]

From today’s Guardian.

And I thought they were just trousers. I guess that makes about 90% of women in the western world gender fluid.

let's, I am an apostrophe fiend.

Really manly trousers need decent pockets for the keeping of seditious literature. None of your pink- brain useless pockets.

It's not a good look to get gender fluid on your trousers, tbh. Best avoided

if there were a classics for individual comments then this should be in it.

Agree brzzedrizzle, that comment made me snort.

Dammit was only here to post the Levi's Woke trousers. Not beat me to it.

I keep my seditious literature in the pocket of my Adult Human Female hoodie.

Good grief. What a moronic comment. However, it's from The Guardian, so par for the course.

The Guardian cannot die a horrible painful flaming financial death soon enough.

Culottes must make her head spin.

Wait, wait - how does she possibly parse a salwar kameez - pants AND dress?! Does she faint at the sight of a dishdasha?

What a load of codswallop.

Fashion psychologist? I’ve heard it all now

My advert us for which magazine get fact not fake reviews 🤔🤔

I'm under the impression that trousers are male and female the zip is on the wrong side with women and men's are cut to accommodate a penis?

Joan of Arc, you are accused of witchcraft, what say you?

....Oh, a statement of gender fluidity, you can go then.

When I was a teenager I used to wear men’s 501s and men’s DMs (they don’t make women’s ones back then, fornit was in the gender fluid wear-what-the-hell-you-want 1980s).

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

By wearing trousers, you’re making a statement about gender fluidity, that you don’t want to be objectified

i'm not sure that was what was going through Brigitte Bardot's mind here

conversely I expect Tyne Daly wore this skirt to signal that Mary Beth just wanted to be objectified

people who make a living providing 'analysis' so often just end up talking bollocks

Oh no! brigitte didn't attach. here she is

So wearing trousers = gender fluid

Best estimate, 95 -100% of population. Of uk wear trousers at some point

SO we are all gender fluid

So it is a pretty meaningless term.

More concerning is the assumption that some types of clothing mean you want to be objectified. I would like some examples so I can avoid but none were given in the article

yes. could we not just start with the assumption that all women would first and foremost like to be seen as human beings with feelings?

when some women can't even start from that position - fucking hell.

I’m wearing a shirt right now. Not only was it bought from the me s department, it was purchased for DS (who took one look and said ‘I’m not wearing that!) so I am also generational fluid today.

I have to say the Guardian has really upped its ‘load of old bollocks’ quota the past few months. It’s trying so hard to be pc, it’s painful to read sometimes.

Oh yes.

Meh, it's a fashion writer. They always come out with a load of codswallop, presumably to hide the fact that clothes are just clothes.

True. I remember a much shown clip when u was a kid from the 60s of frontless dresses (boobs hanging out all over the place) as a ‘trend’. I don’t think it caught on.

Rara skirts
Puff ball skirts
Grolshe bottle lids on boots
VW logos/clocks around your neck
Platform shoes
Mega flares
Fluorescent fish nets
...

Fashion writers have a lot to answer for

I’m wearing sweatpants and my husband’s dressing gown. I’m clearly on the cutting edge of gender fashion today!

I’m not in my big boots and beanie hat (that’s not all).

Trying not to laugh out loud in the Quiet Carriage at the Levi’s Woke advert.

Now where can I buy such a style free garment?

"I am so over all this.Trousers may have been a sign of gender fluidity 100 years ago,now they are just trousers."

Moves forward to the year 2030:

Boys wearing pretty skirts may have been a sign of gender fluid 11 years ago, now they are just skirts and no one blinks an eye."
