Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread

@Paulina

If you do 't understand what I mean, I can't do or don't care to help you understand it. I'm not much into forum pedantry.

It was you and your female cohort who made your admissions:



This is such a problem that even HR departments try to address it as tactfully as they can knowing that it is women who are ALWAYS the absolute worst offenders:

The Difficult Conversation about Inappropriate Attire

Consider clothing which is unacceptable by virtue of:

- Place and time such as wearing yoga pants or gym gear to a job not in a gym, wearing an cocktail dress to a manufacturing facility, or wearing jeans and tank top when in the office,

- Lack of fit (which can be when clothing hangs off the body or when the body hangs out of the clothes).

- Style and organizational culture including: Too revealing, think low tops, high slits, short skirts or shorts, backless or strapless tops, sheer, undergarments or lack thereof showing, etc.,

Have you ever worked in a 21st century office environment which tried to formally publish and enforce a dress code? No, clearly you haven't.

The backlash is ALWAYS from women. A-L-W-A-Y-S.

It is immediate and intense too with shrilly outrage over even the mere thought of having them conform to any dress standard which is considerate of other people.

It's not "pedantry". I'm honestly curious what bothers you exactly in the way people dress and why.


Wearing jeans and trainers when going shopping or to the park is "revolting" to you?? :D 🤦


Maybe in the US. I haven't noticed such a problem where I live. Where do you live, Poloniusz?


I worked in a 21st century corpo and the dress code depended on what kind of job you were doing. The management was wearing typical office attire and IT people - pretty ordinary, casual clothes - nothing inappropriate or revealing though. My female boss had short hair and wore bland office attire, no make up and no jewelry even.

Changing your story as you go along I see.


Really? Where do YOU live, Paulina?

No, that's what you're doing here:


Yes, really. We're discussing work place environment now and not street protests.


I asked you first. So, where do you live? Are you ashamed to admit where you live? :)

@Poloniusz



She could very easily destroy patriarchate just by sitting on it.

@Torq

🤣🤣🤣. Now that's funny!

That's a low life comment. How about you post your photo, so we could have a laugh too :)


You can post your photo too, Mr Beautiful :)))

Oh, you're such a gloomy pill, Paulina. Cheer up :)


In your dreams. :)

No, I think that making fun of people's looks is in bad taste and is a proof of bad character. You're simply being a bully.


I wonder how would you feel if a bunch of women would made fun of your looks :)


Yeah, it's easy to make fun of other people's looks, isn't it. Weakling.

That kind of attitude towards women look actually has the opposite effect on me. It makes me care even less what I wear.

I know what you mean.


Grow up.

You bore me, ladies. Good night.

@Torq, that's a pity if being a decent human being "bores" you. That's not very Christian of you.

Remember:

"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
(Matthew 7:12)

Nope, but I would never expect you (a woman) to be honest in a conversation. You lost the argument and that's why you needed to change the setting of when you dress inappropriately to make it sound appropriate even though earlier you said casual clothes was all about your freedom and you couldn't live without them.


Where did they get those clothes from? Obviously there is a demand for them.

Granted women will wear something once and throw it away but don't tell me revealing clothing like that is limited to private bedrooms and street protests.

Woman will wear elements of that at work and make sure to reveal it to key males they want to manipulate for sex and/or promotion. It happens all the time. But your earlier description of your workplace sounds like it is run by a lesbian so it is highly unlikely any men ever worked there and so weren't confronted with the inherent problems female coworkers bring to the work place.


After you, women first! :)


Indeed, and then she would be the first one to complain that she can't find any men to date, marry and provide for her.

She looks oblivious that her appearance and attitude are completely off-putting. But then again maybe she isn't and is angry because she knows at her age she could never turn things around and hopes to poison the minds of young women as a way to get back at men.

Typical feminist BS, shaming men for honesty. They are never going to be men equal as they are so emotionally fragile.

you grow up. stupid.

I didn't lose any argument and I didn't change any setting. I didn't write when and where I wear jeans and trainers. I only wrote that I couldn't imagine my life without them (as in - if they didn't exist at all) and not that I wear them all the time and everywhere o_O


That usually pertains only to menstrual pads, but I'm guessing that a guy like you who's never been with a woman doesn't know such things :)))


Depends what you mean by "revealing clothing like that". If you mean being half naked with a tape put over your breasts then I certainly haven't seen it anywhere.


Where? Where does it happen "all the time"? Do you have any real life examples from your own experience? :)


But that's not a secret - I often write where I live - Poland, Holy Cross region, Kielce :)

Now your turn - where do you live, Poloniusz? :)))

LOL
Well, you're wrong, as usual :) She was married to a guy (who was an alcoholic, unfortunately) and was feminine, it's just she dressed modestly. And it was a big company, so of course there were men working there :) Her boss was a guy, for example.

Right and then you said you wear that for shopping and to the park. That's why I called you out for changing your story.


You have to guess because you don't know. Women always have closets full of clothing worn once (if that) because they are slaves to fashion trends. I pointed this out earlier and the harmful impact it is having on the environment. You said you didn't care because at least someone is making money off of it.


You know what I am talking about and you should realize by now that the female game of playing dumb in order to gaslight doesn't work anymore.

Seriously, it is so obvious that is comical.




You need to work in a real office that is busy and with heterosexual men and women working there. Not some hideaway back office operation managed by a butch lesbian.


The world is my domain with Poland at the center. :)

You should apply your own advice in practice:


hahahaha

Not really, firstly, I asked you whether "wearing jeans and trainers when going shopping or to the park is "revolting" to you".
Secondly, when I wrote that I can't imagine my life without jeans and trainers I didn't specify when and where I wear them, so I didn't change any "setting" or "my story".


You either have no experience of living with a woman or American women differ greatly from Polish women (which I doubt that they differ that much).


I already explained it to you that I worked in a big company with heterosexual men and women working there and the boss that was directly over me wasn't a butch lesbian, but a heterosexual married woman. Do you have reading comprehension problems? :)


What a coward you are! :) Are you that ashamed of where you live? Why? 🤔

No, I didn't write that I don't care about "harmful impact it is having on the environment" (which I'm sure is lesser than that of all the plastic that is being thrown away by both men and women :)) That comment of mine was an answer to this: "Women are still the largest segment when it comes to buying and following fashion trends."

Fashion industry provides work for many people and that's a fact.


No, I don't really know what such a f*cked up misogynist like you has in mind, so please, explain it to me :)))

Btw, my boss looked like a younger, prettier and slimmer version of Beata Szydło, but with blonde hair and without the usual Szydło's brooch:



I didn't know that Szydło is a "butch lesbian" :D

Probably millions worldwide. Work for people who need it the most manufacturing in India, China, Turkey etc, plus many many design and retail,jobs elsewhere. Clothing is very big business.

Sorry, but I just have to comment on this:


I only throw away clothes if they literally fall apart. If I know I won't wear some clothes anymore I either give them to my female cousins if they're in a good shape, leave them at my grandma's so they could be used when working in the field or in the garden or as rags for cleaning or I donate them to charity. It's also always been a kind of "tradition" in my family that women would leave their kids' clothes for younger kids in the family. The same with toys - they'd be passed on to younger generation. Even nowadays if I know that I won't wear some shoes and they're in a good condition I give them to my aunt who has the same shoe size as me.

My mother doesn't throw anything at all, because she's very tight-fisted.

You could say that in my family nothing goes to waste and it's the women who take care of that.

I do have some clothes that I haven't worn yet, but I don't throw them away - they're waiting patiently for their turn :)))

Geez, it was only two photos from Kielce streets a hundred years ago, and now - over 50 posts later - the discussion is still going on. I have to choose a less controversial topic than clothes for the next photo. I don't know... abortion or death penalty maybe.

Boring. 🥱

I know many Polish women both personally and professionally. But wasn't there a comment made on here recently by a different poster saying they believed you were actually a man posting as a woman? :)

Anyway, at every meeting, at every event (formal and informal) with them each one always wears a different outfit each time. This is without exception and I've known them for years and some for over a decade!

Nothing is worn twice or mixed and matched. Nothing.

This includes the accessories.

And each one obviously has a shoe collection that could give the legendary Imelda Marcos a run for her money.

Where do they get the money though? If they have husbands or boyfriends the telltale sign is that their male significant others always drive beat-up cars and dress very shabbily. It is the men in their lives who get the most mileage out of their own clothes.

If they don't have a man in their life to pay for their expensive lifestyle then they live with their parents or alone in a low rent apartment in some sketchy neighborhood.


Yes, they are known to have a fashion sense closer to most men than women. From butch haircuts, to a preference for jeans, to comfortable footwear that is always too informal and out of place for any social gathering. Based on your posts you seem to have a lot more in common with them than the typical Polish women I know.

No, you don`t. You can only watch them on satellite TV which shows Polish soap operas.
