Adult men and outsticking (T-/Polo-/Man's-)shirts - a classic controversial point?

[Harp]

Abdication has long since been a downfall for any intelligent evolution of mankind...

What is man without morality; the mind bereft of the truth spoken by conscience? Evolution?

... Soren Kierkegaard: "Most Men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it"

As I recall Kierkegaard was a bachelor in the Schopenhauer mold. Not that he's wrong though....

Schopenhauer's influence I find is Very appreciated in Beckett's Works.

Estragon: "We always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression we exist?"

Vladimir: "Yes, yes, we're magicians.”

Proust and time always come to my mind with Beckett.

But would Kierkegaard wear a polo shirt?

perhaps it is not in our understanding of morality, but in our understanding of sin that we are wrong... (*we meaning human beings.)

The nature of sin is known to the conscience, as is its denial to the heart, and sin I have found does not lie outside reason's domain.

"All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost - the most legitimate - passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one."

Even Simone de Beauvoir thought he was a ba***rd.

HAH! PS: I don't like feminist ideology.... I find it vulgar and without actual substance. Men and women are different and those differences should be revered.

wowza... that's deep!

How deep does it need to be?

BTW I prefer my shirts being worn something like this

A truth I have espoused for decades, except that my mantra was that the differences should be celebrated, a slightly different twist. But revered is good, too!

Its true. This Whole 'feminist equality' BS has been nothing more than a propagated program for ignorants from elite pockets to produce more workers for higher profit margins. And what started as a 'choice' for women to work, now is a necessity, contributing to the decay of the family unit and subsequently the deteriorating social constructs we are seeing emerge quite often as of late. It is truly frustrating when you try to explain this to pseudo intellectuals and they assume you are ignorant when in fact, you just understand how things work...

There have always been women working outside the home -- feminism created neither the concept nor the practice. And for the women of the working class, it was never a "choice," no matter what Simone de Bourgeois -- or her critics -- said. Elizabeth Hawes wrote extensively about this in the thirties and forties, especially in "Why Women Cry" (1943), "Hurry Up Please, It's Time,"(1945) and "Anything But Love" (1948), books well worth investigating by women interested in evolution of gender roles in American life. For a perspective I think you might find interesting I also recommend the 1940s radical author Mary Inman, whose "In Women's Defense" (1941) and "Woman-Power" (1942) touch on some very thought-provoking points about housewives and their definition as a legitimate -- and exploited -- part of the labor force.

The only real problem I have with postwar feminism is its narrow focus on well-educated middle-class white women. The proletarian feminism of the Era is much more my style, the kind I learned from my aunt the longshoreman.

Why explain? The plan has been in place for quite some time now. I loathe to think that we may have reached a tipping point, though.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Its true.

And on what certitude do you base that affirmation ?

And what started as a 'choice' for women to work, now is a necessity,

?????????

contributing to the decay of the family unit and subsequently the deteriorating social constructs we are seeing emerge quite often as of late.

Blaming women for any supposed breakdown in society ???? TUT,TUT,...................we have the society we created or rather deserve & everyone is responsible.

when in fact, you just understand how things work...

Self-delusion ?
