So this slightly militant-feminist girl points out to me that ties are… like a giant arrow.
“To where?” I ask, perplexed.
“Look.”
So I look down the line of the tie. And now I don’t know if I’ll ever think of ties the same way again.
never could get the hang of thursdays
Not only that but to wear a tie you have to do up your top button and make sure the knot is nice and tight. Men are literally choking themselves with an adornment that draws a nice big arrow to their man bits.
With this sort of arcane gender-exclusionary ritual, it’s no surprise that women are *still* paid less for the same job and constantly bumping up against the glass ceiling. (!)
I never do up the top button, actually – that literally does feel like it’s set to choke.
:O I too will never see ties in the same way…
okay…..i def agree with flipper, scarred for life!
Man, this is why extremist feminists are stupid, whingey little babies who need to grow up and get on with their lives and stop reading into EVERYTHING as if it’s personal.
I call BS. Ties are totally pointing up, not down. Especially those flat-ended ties, they’re a giant arrow pointing to your head!
That said, I never understood the point of them. Most items of clothing have or had a purpose that is reasonably obvious, but a tie? It’s like the appendix of clothes, a pointless appendage from a previous evolution.
The arrow is most definitely downwards, I’d say – especially on those really thin ties… i have to admit, I think this interpretation has a point. An unlikely, largely irrelevant point, but it’s there.
Isn’t the tie the illegitimate love child of the bow tie and the scarf?
i thought guys also wore ties so that they hang over fat bellies and give the optical illusion that men aren’t quite so fat…
