Why are you taking a woman's/gender studies course (I assume that's what it is)? I considered taking one when I needed a few extra credits right before the semester started this semester, but I realized I would probably get lynched when my sarcasm, irony and misanthropy got misinterpreted as misogyny.

I mean you could always go in trying to be respectful of the course, its participants, and its syllabus
Or you could try not being a sexist

Maybe you could try reading comprehension.

No I think she meant that your intentions are not important if you go about offending people, thinking you're being funny.

back when i lived in guelph i actually did know a really disappointingly high number of straight guys and gay girls who took women's studies courses purely to try to get laid

I mean I am not gonna lie the idea of cute girls who would be all "damn this is a cute boy AND he cares about women's issues! Sign me up!!!!" was appealing at first but aside from the russian figure skater from Moscow none of them are cute enough to make me break my no freshmen rule, and she's kinda boring.

I take my sarcasm (for the purposes of this conversation, let's include irony in there too, since the definitions sometimes get mixed, and I'm not sure I even always use them right) and misanthropy (not really disliking absolutely everyone, but it isn't really used that way much, since nobody really does) everywhere I go, whether it is a comedy thread on the internet or a political science class. They are coping mechanisms, to be completely honest. Cheaper than alcohol, more legal at my age, and better for my liver. I rarely mean disrespect by it, but if someone is looking to get offended, they will, and I think that a woman's studies class would attract the type of people that would look to get offended by it, as well as the more sane people. The problem would be that in a class focusing on women, my disdain for women would probably show up more than my disdain for men. I asked my mother what she thought of me taking a woman's studies course, and she (a '70s and '80s vintage feminist) was pretty sure I would have some troubles as well. The rule of thumb bit would be more to see if anyone in the class believed that stupid myth (it was in use in the 1700s, when they would have been fine with sticks much bigger than a thumb).

I can completely honestly say I didn't consider taking the class for the girls, I thought it might be an interesting class.

I'm pretty sure more would be annoyed by it than offended, to be honest. Also, from your responses here, it kind of seems like it might do you some good. If you do, some advice. Listen more than you speak. It is a problem in general with dudes all up mansplaining things

I have a few pairs of slacks, but not really any shirts to wear them with, I intend on getting a job soon, and spending that money on making myself look good. Point me in the direction of where I can find dress shirts, slacks, and maybe even suits for not very expensive. (IE less than $30 per shirt, suits under $500)

What I find funny is how thoroughly people manage to misunderstand anything I say in a semi-serious context in this forum, and me in general. I probably could do with better understanding women, sure. I could do with better understanding men as well, that's why I'm looking into a psychology minor. You guys have perfectly illustrated my point. Just a few posts in what is my standard tone for anything not instructional and the response has been so overwhelmingly negative that you would think I mentioned that women belong in the kitchen and the most important thing they could ever hope to do is pleasure their man.

Must be the text thing, do I really come across as that much of an asshole? I'm ~~nothing of the sort~~ not nearly as bad in real life, I promise.

How about we (in the most polite and not at all seriously meaning all the cusses)STFU about lady classes, and continue the talk of fashion. If you want to continue that discussion, I'd suggest you take it to uh...DISCUSS.

Dear god, I hope you are wearing more than just that.

I'm fine with the change of subject, I didn't intend for this to derail, I was just curious as to why Keiffer was taking that class, it wasn't a side of him I had heard referenced before. Hell, I didn't know he was going to college.

I'm wearing shorts and one of my old baseball jerseys, since I'm inside and nobody will see me and be blinded. I had been wearing cargo pants and a leather jacket, but it wasn't as cold as I thought, so going for a run (technically HIIT, but this is fashion, not exercise) in my winter coat led to me being sweaty as hell, even a few hours after dark. So kind of stay at home chic, but that doesn't seem right. I don't know what chic is defined as, is it pretty much looking somewhat like whatever the subject of the chic is, but not so much as to be socially unacceptable? In that case, I skipped the chic part.

Emaline · « **Reply #2815 on:** 02 Feb 2010, 23:48 »

Also, I am wearing blue plaid(!!!) pajama pants, and a grey AG Edwards shirt that is like 8 sizes too big because it is my boyfriend's and from years ago when he interned there.

But that is not important. I would however like to reiterate this post. But for girls.

Basically, I realized that I have no interview clothes, and I want to use what little money I do have I'd like to spend on some decent work/professional clothes.

Yes Nodaisho, I am wearing jeans and underwear and two shirts and a hoodie also.
Earlier I went outside to smoke a cigar, but I had to go back inside to get my fedora, because it just seemed appropriate, don't know why. I loves my fedora.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2817 on:** 03 Feb 2010, 00:09 »

I have precisely two suits, and one is not that professional so I'll skip that one. Actually I doubt either really are that much. The one that is more so I got during a huge sale at JC Penney. It honestly is not a very good suit, but it was $200 on sale for like $60 and whatever, it looks fine on me. There's a whole ladies suit section, though a good half of it is like old gramma suits. My only advice on that front is to just go to a bunch of stores at the mall or whatever and try shit on. I know the Limited has suits, basically any of those stores I don't like to go into do. Also, I will probably advise against button downs because I am assuming you're like me, what with all the boobs wanting to bust out, puckering and straining the buttons so you can see bra+boobs. You could go up a size but that sucks because it's way too huge everywhere else and you're drowning. I have two button down shirts, both get safety pinned stealthily.

jace and emaline: find the nearest H&M in your area, i got all my fancy clothes there when i had just graduated and was in dire need of a job as well but only had like $100 left to my name. the quality is not great and the clothes probably won't last long, but they look nice when you buy them and they really are extraordinarily cheap and if you only really need them until you get a job and can buy better things, it should do the trick.

I am wearing a black leotard, black tights pulled up with bare feet, a black shrug sweater (bolero style), stripey pink and black leg warmers with skulls on, black athletic shorts, green tie-dye pajama pants over them, and my Pintsize hoodie. My hair is sort of pulled back in a knot but now it is falling down everywhere.

BDG Skinnies, American Apparel thermal in the color of teal, an undershirt and red Toms.

Ohgod, I sound like an awful hipster.
Does it help that I bought the thermal from eBay and it has an octopus printed on the bottom corner?

No. I thought off center prints were totally hipsterish.

It's only there because it's illegal to sell American Apparel on eBay unless it's printed.

I want pretty much all of the watches Fossil sell but -despite it being the staple of their business- most of their leather products look really shoddy and cheap

tania · « **Reply #2842 on:** 04 Feb 2010, 06:12 »

no i went to their store in yorkdale and touched everything! with my hands! it is all really nice!
their watches at least are excellent quality, i can definitely attest to that. i've owned a leather fossil watch for about 14 months now and it is still in near perfect condition despite the fact that i wear it every single day and occasionally do very stupid things like forget i am wearing it when i work out or wash dishes or get into the shower. there is only one visible defect which is a little metal bit missing but that is because my old roommate's parrot ripped it off and then screamed at me when i tried to get it back from him and i don't know where he ended up taking it so that doesn't count.

also come on dovey you bought a bag with a 100 year warranty of course everything else is going to look shoddy and cheap to you now

This one's also pretty sweet. Been with me since the summer of '07. Last night I had a girl pinpoint exactly where and when I had bought it. She had one similar, but I was able to pinpoint which one she had bought based on a loose description. The difference between her and me is that she was on a romantic Eurotrip with her affluent boyfriend, and I was bumming about with an orchestra. Oh well! We both came away from it with pretty awesome necklaces!

Stay tuned for my enormous, old, precious topaz heart necklace.

Those two dresses are pretty nice, I am however not sure whether this is because of the cuteness of the models in them or because of the actual prettiness of the dresses.

Is $68 a lot for a dress? I mean, good jeans are usually around $70 dollars as far as I know, and that only covers half of your body!

Emaline · « **Reply #2847 on:** 04 Feb 2010, 14:12 »

See, in my head, $50-$80 is a good price range for a dress. Everybody is always complaining that that is too much for dresses, but it makes sense to me.

calenlass · « **Reply #2848 on:** 04 Feb 2010, 14:33 »

I have paid $8 for some dresses that have gotten a lot of wear, and I have also paid $250 for a dress that I have worn a lot. I prefer the cheaper ones, but, well, if you find the Best Thing and it is expensive, I cannot honestly reprimand anyone for splurging, because fuck knows I do.

Re: Fossil watches
I have been wearing the same fossil watch every day for almost 7 years now. I had the band replaced last year to exactly the same sort because it was starting to get a bit smelly after so many years of bartending and barista-ing and washing up. I have changed the battery twice in that time.
Fossil watches: Go!
