I have a deep, visceral hatred of jeans. My washloads are full of them, and it takes twice through the dryer to get the danged things dry ... and then they’re still slovenly. Why not just go out in public in your Angry Birds pajama pants? It’s not as if you do manual labor for a living.

I didn’t grow up to be gender- or sexual-confused, either. Just an ordinary mother who wears dresses, skirts, capris, cotton slacks ...

I have to threaten my teenage daughters to get them to wear a dress for church, even though they get compliments from everyone they see if they do. The styles for girls are “just slovenly” - jeans and a t-shirt - or “slovenly and slutty” - shorts and tank tops that are more revealing than myh bathing suit. The concept of, “Put on tidy clothes” doesn’t seem to register.

Whatever happened to politeness, civility, respect for self and others, etc?

It’s really saddening how coarse, profane and lowgrade our culture has become.
