Reply #59: I see you women explaining it, and I have had it demonstrated in slow-motion [View All]

so that I might grasp its essentials, but I have yet to even begin to become one with the Zen of this ecdysical action. No matter how I might try -- and I'm thinking of getting a mannequin just so I can practice this ancient art -- the entire concept and the physical execution thereof continues to elude me. And, yes, I swear that's all I intend to do with the mannequin.

I can't think of a male analog in terms of how arcane this knowledge and ability is -- perhaps the ability to not ask for directions, no matter how lost we might be (admittedly, I betray my gender on this one, but my testosterone is oddly subservient to rationality...sometimes) -- but I can't help but wonder if this is not some kind of feminine magic trick designed to remind us that we are aberrations with our Y chromosomes and a sort of reminder that there's a certain strength that accompanies such things as childbirth and wearing high heels. Your people scare me with such parlor tricks. I am terrified that, after doing the pulling-the-bra-through-one-sleeve routine, you might make the sun go away.... :scared:
