The arogance of snooty women in Jeans

[RockyR]

As I stated in another thread about bad experiences, I have only gotten the snooty looks or out right remarks from women in Jeans, When I get a "rare" snooty look or remark, I am tempted, but don't yeild to read them the riot act. I realize the expression on the face may not reveal the actual thought, as some people just naturally look snooty. Besides, I really don't want to have a confrontation, but it really does trip my gizzard when a womam wearing "mens clothes" so to speak... will be so arogant as to look at us in MENS's garments and give that look or make a derogatory remark.

There, its off my chest.. the next Queen "B" is safe..

JohnAllen,

I have yet to have a weird or really rude remark from a female. I usually get mine from drunks and teenagers who are trying to assert their manhood amongst their peers. And when I do I just give them a look and they back off with me not really saying anything. I wouldn't hurt them or harm them in any way, but what they called me in college was one mean looking teddy bear Now if any of you guys say anything I will completely deny it.

Not only Female, I hate Snooty people. They have no right to tell me what to do, how to dress or who to follow. I do things my way and that's why I am kilter. I am free to choose or not choose.

I simply hate arogant people who think they know everything and have to right to tell me what to do. Following is for sheeps and I am no sheep.

While on my lunch break the other day, I had a woman say to me, "I hope you're wearing underpants." She said it like a warning, like I had better listen to her, or else.
I should have said, "mind your own business," but I was thinking about the kilt I was working on and she interrupted my train of thought.
"FXXX off," is what she got.
She seemed surprised, (and more than a little frightened,) that someone had stood up to her.

Wow bear. thats a response alright.. not my choosing but I apprecaite that you climbed her tree. What a crass remark for her to say. Goodness I am still befuddled that anyone even asked the what's under question but to frame like she did, man I don't know what I would have said, How old was she?

I damn near spit out water all over my keyboard because of that bit.

I would have offered much the same, only with an extra helping of "punk sneer" (those that know will cringe) and probably the bird.

I found that some women feel their femininity threated by men wearing clothing that they percieve as feminine and so they lash out.

Other women have a fetish for wearing masculine clothing (like some men have for wearing feminine clothing) and don't like having the symbolism of masculinity shifting under their feet -- especially when that symbolism is similar to the feminine clothing that turns them off.

The flip side is women who would never wear a skirt, but will wear a kilt because men wear them.

Some women (like many men) just don't like anything that challenges the status-quo.

And some women want the status-quo to change, but only in ways that benefit them.

Some women are resentful when they see a man wearing a practical, comfortable kilt, and insist that men make them for women too, even though they, and all the women for generations prior never thought to make practical, comfortable skirts for themselves.

I was in San Francisco a few years ago and a female couple approached me and asked questions about the black neo-trad Workman's UK I was wearing.

I explained that it's a modern version of a kilt and it's made for men by a company in Seattle. You'd have thought I'd just slapped them. "Waddya mean they're only made for men?" Teeth bared. Skin turning crimson with rage.

I went on to explain that women do wear them, but they're designed to fit a person with narrow hips.

That calmed them down some, but I felt like a wuss later for not whacking them over the head with the fact that there are thousands of products made exclusively for women.

Anyway, a year or so later I was coming out of the video store and two women were going in. One of them stopped and asked me in hostile tones why I was wearing a skirt? I explained that it was a modern version of a kilt, and made for men. She almost hit the ceiling. She started yelling something barely coherent about male privilege or some such.

Her companion took her by the arm and quietly said something to her like, "Hon, do you really want to go back to wearing skirts?"

Some women have issues.

"FXXX off," is what she got.

I've been in a couple of situations where that would have been the best reply.

Another incident, My second neg response vocalized actually happened while I was posting yard signs for the Presindents campaign. A young lady walking a dog saw me posting one in her neighborhood as she was walking up the sidewalk towards me and said " I am all for President Bush but I don't know about that!" as she looked sneringly at my Kilt. I replied, Have'nt you ever seen a man in a Kilt? She said "Yes, my husband is Irish but I don't know about that!, Well Get him a kilt I said, she repeated, "I don't know about that! I do want a yard sign though do you have anymore?" All the while her gigantic dog kept trying to get a bit too close and she could barely control the little horse!
She was wearing Blue Jeans... go figure!

I can handle crass.
I can handle a woman wanting to know if I'm wearing underwear.
What got me was her cocky look and assumption that she could say whatever she pleased, without recriminations.
It was as if she was using men's widespread fear of angering a woman to her advantage, using it as carte blanche for her lack of manners. She was so sure she could do or say what she pleased.
I hate that attitude. It gets my back up. I never let it pass without comment. The more guys that let such comments pass without standing up for themselves, the more comments there will be in the future.
She was in her sixties and had a hard look about her You know that look? That past her prime, no time for BS, I'm in command wherever I am look?
