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

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

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

This is such a problem that even HR departments try to address it

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

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.

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:

Really?

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

Where do YOU live, Paulina?

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

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.

Cheer up :)

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

In your dreams. :)

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

So, where do you live?

After you, women first! :)

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

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.

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

Granted women will wear something once and throw it away

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 :)))

don't tell me revealing clothing like that is limited to private bedrooms and street protests.

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.

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.

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

After you, women first! :)

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.

I'm guessing that a guy like you who's never been with a woman doesn't know such things :)))

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.

Depends what you mean by "revealing clothing like that".

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.



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

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.

where do you live,

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".

Women always have closets full of clothing worn once (if that)

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).

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.

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? :)

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:

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:

Granted women will wear something once and throw it away

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.

Polish women

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.

"butch lesbian"

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.

I don't care what some random stranger on the internet who doesn't know me in real life "believes" when I pi$$ him or her off lol I am a woman :)

Anyway, at every meeting, at every event (formal and informal) with them each one always wears a different outfit each time.

Poloniusz - the female fashion detective :D It may seem like that, but it may simply mean that they cleverly mix different pieces of clothing. I really doubt that you can tell (unless you're gay? lol).

Nothing is worn twice or mixed and matched. Nothing.

This includes the accessories.

If that's really the case then either those women are rich, or they are master sale hunters or you simply don't meet them on daily basis.

Either way - it doesn't mean that they wear those clothes once and then throw them away. I don't know any woman who would do that.

Based on your posts you seem to have a lot more in common with them than the typical Polish women I know.

I don't know what you mean. If you mean my looks/clothes then I have long hair and wearing jeans is normal for women in my city. I also wear the right shoes for the right occasions lol

So, Poloniusz, is Beata Szydło a "butch lesbian", according to you? :D And where do you live??
