>>37364>My father died this year so I’ve been thinking a lot about mortality. He was a very confrontational man, very analytical. He liked putting people into a corner intellectually — it was a form of bullying. He could be so critical of the way people live their lives and in the end he became very bitter. I never had the chance to ask him why he, after all those years of thinking, couldn’t find serenity. He wasn’t able to negotiate the ending of his life in a graceful way. He was so observant, and he believed in being a resolved human being — someone who thinks correctly — and still he never managed to make peace with the fact that he was dying. It made me think about the world and about how to find graceful ways to deal with threats. That’s what I would like to do. I’d like to end up in a garden with a wall around it, reading and playing with kittens. That’s probably the best I can hope for. I’m not going to have grandchildren. Well, I guess in a way I will because I surround myself with people, and some are having children. I love seeing babies around. So I suppose I will have the comfort of being in a garden and playing with kittens and babies. I don’t know what could possibly be better than that.This hit hard :(

You should really cross dress if you're going to burn a lot cash. Men's clothes realistically are still kinda ugly after 400ish dollars.

>>37394I have the opposite problem cause I’m a 5’11” guy with a 23” waist so pretty much all standard men’s clothing just makes me look like a rectangle, which is fine for a layered or oversized fit but looks shit elsewise. Unisex works well though
No.37402
>>37395Where did I say that it’s bad that it’s inherently feminine? I still love fashion, I just recognize what it is instead of coping
No.37403
>>37390In the history and present of gender theory, femininity consistently demonstrates a societal predilection towards beauty, appearance, and fashion by proxy. There have never been societies wherein obsession with fashion and appearance was categorized as ostensibly masculine, yet there have been endless societies where it’s considered obviously feminine/effeminate in theory and practice.
To clarify, fashion is not “genetically” inherently feminine/effeminate, but societally inherent. And That’s not a bad thing, but a fact as of now nonetheless, so trying to purport it’s actually super alpha male to worry about what pretty cloth your wearing is dumb and likely only reflexively said out of internalized homophobia.
No.37404
>>37397I had an argument with him once and he unironically thinks liberalism and capitalism are separate phenomena and that
capitalism emerged from liberalism, like we literally willed it into existence or something. People always throw the term idealism around here a lot but this is actually a great example of it. Big pseud who should only stick to dissing neocons for their clothes instead of pretending he knows a thing about political or economic theory, but he can't help but still comment on them anyway.
No.37406
>>37403I think what they're getting at is that it's silly to claim fashion is "inherently" feminine or gay just because cis men say so, especially when most designers are straight men. Even looking at the history of fashion the last century the only trend you could attribute to women/gays is skinny jeans? Maybe?
>trying to purport it’s actually super alpha male to worry about what pretty cloth your wearing is dumbDoubt anyone here will disagree with your main point, but I think "positive stereotypes" are dumb too.
No.37408
>>37403>yet there have been endless societies where it’s considered obviously feminine/effeminate in theory and practiceWhat? It wasn't until the French Revolution.
After the French Revolution, in France men being into fashion was seen as part of the old nobility and therefore bad. And France set fashion for the western world. So the western world adopted the idea that men should not be into fashion.
Then in the the late 19th century, anglo puritanism put the final nail in the coffin.

>Until recently, fashion was considered the "F-word" in intellectual circles, dismissed as unworthy of serious attention. Yet no area of life, no individual moment, stands outside fashion's discourses. Intuitively, we all know that clothing is a language, incessantly communicating messages about its wearer. But who speaks this language, to whom is it addressed, what does it mean, and how are its meanings established and transformed? On Fashion explores the ways our material, political, psychological, sexual, even intellectual lives are woven into fashion's fabric.>This stimulating collection of essays explores fashion's symbolic and figurative functions in photography, cinema, and video; in consumerism, postmodernism, and feminism; in political and material culture; and in self-definition and subjectivity. They demonstrate the pervasive reach of fashion and its expressions. Interesting read.

>>37403Nothing about society is inherent you theorylet. You're arguing metaphysical positions instead of thinking dialectially about fashion. Under primitive communism and in the transition to clan society men and women equally decorated themselves. Early class societies like the Minoan exhibit this. It is only after capitalist society codifies gendered norms to enforce patriarchy that we associate
inherently (as you put it) fashion with femininity or queerness. Once we abolish capitalism also fashion loses the shackles of capitalist society and is aufgehoben to socialist fashion. It will become one of the main points of communist society, since as Marx put it
>As a result, therefore, man (the worker) only feels himself freely active in his animal functions – eating, drinking, procreating, or at most in his dwelling and in dressing-up, etc.; and in his human functions he no longer feels himself to be anything but an animal. What is animal becomes human and what is human becomes animal. No.37619
