When I do purge, I keep things just because I love them, whether I wear them (or can wear them) or not. But I keep them in a box and not in my closet. And it is just one box, so that's not so bad, right?
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not so bad!
I'm trying to go to Goodwill more regularly, since I only bring a little at a time, due to carrying it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Superman must rip a lot of clothes, huh?
I think with Batman it's slow and tender and...maybe there's a striptease?
Tasty tea.

I just did that big clothes purge in January, when I got rid of 9 bags of clothes and cleared out more than half of my rather huge closet and reduced three drawers of lounge-around-the-apartment clothes to one.
I'll be restocking both the closet and the chest of drawers after I finish losing my weight--a friend has already stated emphatically that we are going to go out shopping at that point, because she feels my clothes shopping skills are severely lacking.

Because books.
I know I'm not a true comics fan, but in my head Batman would call Superman a sissy, and go for someone like Iron Man.

I mean just by accident. It can't be slow and tender ALL the time!
Um, which reminds me, I need to mend that one dress....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, me too. But we knew we wouldn't be getting any smaller, and our mom's did the purging that we won't do. And in my case (and a few other folks here) we were pretty broke and it was a struggle to have enough clothing at all.
Yeah, we were pretty broke, too. 90% of my clothes were things my mother made for me or we got secondhand. Purging clothes, though, was something I don't recall my mother ever did. For me, purging was "I've grown out of this" and for her, clothes were so dearly come by that she never got rid of anything. I think my sister and I have both inherited the tendency to think "I paid money for this! It still fits (or soon will)! I CAN'T get rid of it!" I'm purging clothes right now. I have a big trash bag of Goodwill accumulating in the hall. I also have a mountain of clothes on my bed. I expect to sleep on the couch tonight, and find them all covered in cat hair in the morning.

OMG, HDU, it totally can. Also, there are butterflies and rainbows in the background, and kittens gambol at the foot of the bed.

HUSSY. HUSSY. Were you wearing heels and standing on a ladder in the middle of the night too?
I think Iron Man buys in too hard to his playboy persona (*not* alter ego) for Batman to dig him. But Bruce Wayne might have some men's room shenanigans with Tony Stark at fancy parties.
Long term, there's something about Supes' idealism that draws Bruce back. He does want to believe, even as he doesn't believe *he* can do that.
I should go look at the picture some more to be sure of these things.

It's *so* worth it. I've actually been buying S2 off iTunes in dribs and drabs. They're great to watch over lunch break. If rude, in a restaurant.
