Shouldn't men wear skirts so as not to turn women on?

I'm so confused

A lot of professional sexists usually want women to wear skirts all of the time...preferably tight and short (which isn't even in style now).

I mean they keep changing their arguments. First, the pants are too asexual, now they're too sexual.

The chauvinists can never get their act together.

I used to like to argue with the MRA's online, because they'd all be like, "yeah, we men have to all get together," and then one would say one thing and another would say another thing and I'd be like, "yeah, but you can't even agree."

Some think women have to wear a burqa or skirts down to their ankles, others complain that women aren't advertising their femininity enough.

after years of "how to treat women as sex objects". Early this year he claimed to have "seen the light", and is now making his money as a prim, extramarital-sex-is-evil, women-are-temptresses Orthodox Christian - trying to take the fundamentalist Muslim line on what people should wear while staying with the American market, because that's where the money is.

In reality, he found that when the social media sites ruled his misogyny and borderline advocacy of rape shouldn't get any publicity, advertising etc., his business model crashed. So now he's going with something he's confident won't get banned. But that doesn't mean we should make any of his messages known.

"guides". He was the largest profile "pick up artist".

Daryush Valizadeh[2] (born June 14, 1979),[1] also known as Roosh Valizadeh, Roosh V and Roosh Vorek, is an American blogger, pickup artist,[3][4][5] and writer.[6] Valizadeh writes on his personal blog[1] and also owns the Return of Kings website,[7] Roosh V Forum,[8][9] and the now closed Kings Wiki,[10][11] where he published articles by himself and others on related subjects. Valizadeh has self-published more than a dozen sex and travel guides, most of which discuss picking up and having sex with women in specific countries.[12] His advice, his videos and his writings have received widespread criticism, including accusations of misogyny, promotion of rape,[13] antisemitism[14], and having ties to the Alt-right.[15]

Many of Valizadeh's publications have been taken down. On May 30, 2018, DreamHost took down Kings Wiki.[16] On September 10, 2018, several of Valizadeh's books were removed from Amazon.com's self-publishing platform. He was also sanctioned by YouTube, another source of revenue for him, for violating their rules.[17] On October 1, 2018, citing a loss of revenue and traffic due to PayPal's and Disqus's terminating their partnerships with him, Valizadeh announced Return of Kings would no longer be publishing new articles.[18]

In March 2019, Valizadeh converted to the Armenian Orthodox Christian Church and condemned extramarital sex as sinful, also stating that he was embarassed about the books he wrote in the past.[19][20]

I used to know a guy who called himself that, and he had one line he'd use to try to get women.

"Wanna (bleep?)"

Oh, he'd get slugged, slapped, kicked, but every so often he'd get a girl.

And, why should anyone listen to him? He's just another one of these "Women should dress as we dictate, because we men/boys can't control our urges" misogynist dickwads. He's cut from the same bolt of cloth as Mike Pence.

I will wear whatever I goddamn please. Nobody tells me how to dress.

Somehow I don't think my cargo pants are really all that sexy. And I keep my ankles covered up.

I had to wear a dress to school all through high school. Pain in the ass in the wind. Or climbing stairs.

He is a few dozen years behind the times.
