I think the last sentence in the article is the most important.

It’s time for our government to trust us. Don’t worry. We’ll behave like men (and women), even if we don’t always dress the part.

I wear jeans every day unless the occassion requires something better, and I wear a cap when out in the sun. So I am immature for doing this? LOL!

He's confusing two different phenomena here.

One, people are tending to 'not act their age' because blue jeans & board shorts are comfortable, and mountain biking & surfing are fun & good for you. People today wanna partake as long as they're able - nothing wrong with that.

The other problem is much deeper and more destructive & he identifies the culprit accurately.

***he chooses to pick on blue jeans and baseball caps***

Back about 1951, on the high plains of New Mexico, my dad dressed us boys ages 4 and 3 in bib overalls. He wore Levis. One day mom mentioned our overalls were wearing out and he said he would buy us some new overalls!

We threw a fit! “NO NO NO We don’t want overalls, we want Levis!” We got some jeans and were happy. I have never wore bib overalls since.

I also prefer western hats but often use free ball or golf caps.

Why so many westerns in the 1950s? Many old westerners were still alive then. My great-grandfather, a Colorado/NM rancher was born in 1868 and died in 1955. I still remember in 1973 when one of the last survivors of a Chyenne Indian raid passed away.

Lost me right there. Jeans and a ball cap are my normal daily attire. Wore suits for 25 years. Do not have too now and I love it. The hat is because I live in the desert. Hotter than hell one minute cold the next; rain, sleet, snow, sun and hail - so far just today and it is not noon yet.

However, my hat is not on backwards.

Just who the aitch eee double hockey sticks does this effete snob think he is? *I* am a proud electronics technician, which means for most of my working day, I'm crawling around, and in dusty, greasy machinery. This "paragon of genius" believes that I should do so clad in a tuxedo? On pain of being considered "immature" by him, and his ilk?

He's the one who needs to grow up, and man up...

That's what I was thinking. I don't wear baseball caps but I do wear jeans. For lots of men they are work clothes...does that make them less of a man? Farmers everywhere will be shocked to learn they should be wearing slacks out on the north 40.
