A man wearing a good suit is one of the most delightful aspects of life. They really do make my heart drop into my stomach. Through Twitter, I came across When Suits Become a Stumbling Block. An amazing article, with dreamy pictures of men in suits, satirizing the double standards in Christianity with suits and yoga pants and male and female responsibility about their own minds. I can't agree with her more about "being wired" as a gender norm to excuse men of thousands of years of hideous and unacceptable behavior.
Favorite Quotes:
"Listen, as a woman I'm an emotional creature. I want to feel protected and safe, and nothing screams "I am a MAN and I will protect you" like a suit and tie. I can't help it, that's just how I'm wired."
"Avoid these following actions . . . reading books, Hey GREGORY. Put that away."
"But what if my job requires me to wear a suit? WELL, CLEARLY YOU NEED TO FIND ANOTHER JOB."
Go read, enjoy, and reread. I've reread it multiple times; though, that might be for all those dreamy pictures of well-dressed men in gorgeous suits.
