Twitter Shuts Down Man Who Claimed Women's Clothing 'Isn't Sexist'

12 months ago

Earlier this week, Twitter user Bree Mae took to Twitter to explain why she prefers to wear male clothing, saying that men's clothing is often cheaper, fits better, and lasts longer. Also, why does women's clothing have no pockets? Where are you supposed to put things?

I bought myself two pairs of men's shoes today and GUESS WHAT they have arch support quality I've NEVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE.

But of course, not everyone agreed. One Twitter user named Ryan responded to Mae's series of tweets with this. But don't worry, Twitter user Jared Pechacek‏ decided to put Ryan in his place.

My dude, clothing IS sexist and has been for centuries, my bro, broseph, guy who's never had to worry about whether his pants have pockets. pic.twitter.com/K78CmIP6As

Man, bro, sweetums, I'm not sure you've ever had to deal with clothes meant to present you like a delicacy rather than warm/cool/cover you.

Titus Flavius Brosephus, you might not realize that the entire world has bent itself to empower you, to make you safe, & to leave others out

Yes, it gets even more ridiculous.

Have you, brocarbonate of soda, paid a second of attention even to the way clothes are marketed to you vs. to women?

You can wear any pants you want and be assured of keeping necessities upon your person. Do you know not everyone gets to, Duke of Brobon?

Then someone points it out, and I can only assume, my fine market cockerel, that it's the first time ever for you. Which is okay.

Jacques Dudesteau.

And why are they saying it, Prince Charming? And is it uncomfortable to hear? Why is it uncomfortable to hear, Jacques Dudesteau?

Why is your first reaction—after reading an entire great thread—dismissiveness? Why, Epistle to the Saints at Brolosse?

Well, Palfred the Great, I genuinely hope you might think about what Bree said for more than ten seconds. And why it irritated you.

This is called "privilege", Brolossus of Rhodes. Privilege is basically all the things you've never had to worry about.

We've probably both been able to buy pants without going to six different stores. Our measurements are reliable. Because the world is ours.

I assume you want people to think you're a good person, Leslie Brope. You can start by not waving away the small concerns.

Just let someone be happy that she's found pants that fit, Bro Bronas (formerly of the Bronas Brothers). Or I might really get mad.

You're wrong, bro. People understandably found the thread hilarious.
