A pornographer (and atheist) explains why the science guy’s shirt crash-landed

[Tsiyu]

150. Explain what I should be getting

I will explain my personal feelings about said shirt:

I hesitate to criticize the man's clothing, for fear of hordes of psycho men calling for my head on a pike, but in the interest of better understanding, I will load all the weapons and proceed.

We do tend to judge people based on what they wear.

I know the Mennonites aren't gonna want to bum a smoke in public. I know the old lady in the housecoat dependent on a walker at the corner market probably isn't the one setting fire to the woods and leaving broken beer bottles everywhere out there. I know the guy in a business suit with the tidy nails doesn't do hands-on work on cars or machinery for a living.

If I encounter a guy in a professional setting, outside of a business at the beach or a bar, wearing the Shirt in Question, I am creeped out. My thinking: This is probably a guy who is inappropriate in a lot of ways. One of those touchy-feely gropey rapey guys that make my skin crawl.

Or he's one of those letches who licks his lips a lot and makes really provocative comments at awkward times.

Maybe he's not like that at all. Great. I'm just telling you what I'm thinking given where we are today, in 2015, and given what I've experienced.

Having said that, I would not have even noticed Dude's choice of daywear had a bunch of guys not gone apeshit because another woman did notice it and did say something.

The crimes committed are those ugly things said by those who stalked this woman.

You cry "freedom!" for someone who exercised his and escaped without being told he should die, and ignore someone being trampled and told she'd be better off dead for exercising hers.

It's not logical but I'd love to hear how you work it out to be so.
