Wash ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you really need to be told that, Suela?
::sigh:: I guess not. This guy seems to think that I think gender performativity is enforced by a cabal of old white guys, and since that's clearly insane, so am I. Also, he has to wear a tie to court! And women like to get dressed up! And women dress for other women! So there!
Bah. I hate leaving my nice safe confines.

Pfft. Tell it to the drag queens, buddy.
I have never bought that tie thing, because if men hated ties that much, they'd loosen them or take them off when they get their cars to drive home. Very few do. I have checked this rather obsessively.

What's the motivation for lying?

I think that's also laziness, though. And where to put it, etc.
S. used to come home, when he worked a suit-and-tie job, and practically strip in the living room.
My White House intern roommate would basically strip on his way home from work. But that was because he was hot. Also, hot. Good times.
I change the minute I get in the door.
I do, too, but that's mostly the cat.
Excellent news Consuela. About the interview. Not the tie-guy.

Man, it's enforced by *everybody.* That's the deal. I don't think I know anyone at all who doesn't enforce it in some way, consciously or not.
t edit Not that that's a *good* thing. I'm just saying, it's goddamn pervasive as hell.
