Notes -
When are women going to realize how bad the baggy jeans trend looks (especially as part of a whole loose baggy style)?
Women walk around now looking like they’re in pajamas.
This seems like a lagging element of the anti-beauty aesthetics of woke, and I’m confused how wide spread anti-feminine dress has become
Freddie deBoer talked about this in his article "Our Product is Permission", in which he argued that modern Western society has become overly permissive along numerous axes, one of which is a greater tolerance for slovenly appearances and dressing comfortably in public spaces. Twenty years ago, seeing a woman wearing a Snuggie while stting down to dinner in a posh restaurant would have been unheard of.
I'm hesitant to attribute this trend to "wokeness".
Agreed, it's pathetic. His hypocrisy and evasiveness on the trans issue is frustrating, but I understand it's borne of a desire to stay on good terms with his sister and their child. But when I see him throwing a tantrum at someone who criticised a point he made in an article, or lashing out at one of his fellow writers (like Jesse Singal or Rob Henderson), I just can't fathom how he can be so immature and petulant. One would have thought someone who's worked as a professional writer for the better part of two decades and earns a pretty respectable income from it would have developed a thicker skin at some point along the way.
