Confession #53

Psychiatrists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, social workers and clergymen are to blame for men being confined into pants. They think gender causes men to always wear pants. Social forces, not sex, cause apparel behavior; but self determination should cause it. See New York Times editorial May 27, 1876, page 6, column 6, “A Curious Disease” on women in trousers. “Permanent mental hallucination” was in the editorial; they mentioned “an attack of dress reform disease,” it took psychiatry 34 years to conjure the slander/libel term “transvestism.” In 1943 Chicago cops arrested Evelyn Bross for appearing outside a war manufacturing facility in pants. Women were expected to arrive in “female” attire, and change into pants/overalls inside the building, out of public view, so people would not be outraged. Finally the Feds cracked down on the Chicago city council; they figured that winning the war was more vital than agreeing with asinine psychiatric efforts to force conformity. 18 million USA women first wore pants in 1942-1945. After the war, pressure was brought to bear on them to give pants up. Ministers will swiftly condemn men in skirts while having women in pants in attendance. Surprisingly, I had a Sunday school teacher, Mr. Tom Zachary (Assembly of God) say to me, “women wearing pants, men wearing skirts, it makes no difference.” So many men around Planet Earth are trousered due to the garment is a hold over from the long era in which horses were the best land transportation. We have women in pants condemning men in skirts; they insist on a skirt monopoly—-no reciprocity and totally uncharitable. I figure these women must be hermaphrodites, since no “clinically normative mental health professional” will label them cross dressed. Ancient Greco-Roman civilization regarded men in pants as barbarians. In AD 378 at the battle of Adrianople in the eastern Balkans, the Romans were badly beaten by trousered cavalrymen (there’s the horse causation again) but it was the horses, not the pants which beat the Romans. But 15 years afterwards, by edict of Emperor Theodosius I in 393, men in pants were o0rdered exiled from Rome and their property confiscated as barbarians and enemy aliens. The decree was reaffirmed in AD423. The sole reason “clinically normative mental health professionals” don’t denounce Scots and Greeks as transvestites, is that they would come under fire as boosting cultural genocide. Can you picture Dallas Cowboys Randy White in a full skirted dress and facing Maximinus Thrax, the Thracian giant who was Emperor of Rome in absentia, 235-238AD? He outran a race horse; pulled a load of boulders too heavy for a 4,000 pound team of ox to budge, and wore a bracelet as a ring. Men opposing choice for other men want a guarantee that when they see anyone at a distance in a skirt, they can experience the initial stages of sexual arousal. The apparel industry is far less than it could be due to absence of choice for men. We are the group who can justify a ned for free space in the crotch; and we seldom get about on horses today.

Oh my god yes.
