Females and Durags

[erpowers]

Does anyone at DU know any females who wear durags and are not lesbians. I am not trying to insult anyone I am just asking a question? I am mainly trying to find out if it is considered okay for a female to wear a durag.

[Little Wing]

1. Well I'm insulted.

:grr:

[Quantess]

2. Is that the correct spelling? Not saying it isn't.

I always thought it was doo rags.

Well, either they are a lesbian, or they aren't aware that it makes people assume they are lesbian.:hide:
Same goes for the fe-mullet.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

51. Whew... thank god for the

clarification.
:spray:

[idgiehkt]

3. lets break it down....

you want to wear a durag, but you don't want people to think you are a lesbian? Is that it?

[erpowers]

25. No

Actually, I was trying to do just what the question asked. I was trying to find out if women who were not lesbians wore durags. There are some women out there that wear durags and some people think they are lesbians. Instead of jumping to conclusions I decided to ask if people knew of any women who wore them that were not lesbians. To a degree my desire to not be flamed for asking my question may have caused me to ask the question too timidly.

[idgiehkt]

40. lol

I don't know of any women, besides in ad campaigns, that wear them, but if I saw one on the street I wouldn't know if she was gay or not, and I probably wouldn't ask a woman in a durag about her sexuality.

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

44. Some people are idiots.

I have seen heterosexual women wearing durags. I have seen lesbians wearing durags. If somebody thinks someone is a lesbian, because she is wearing a durag, that somebody is an idiot.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

53. Ok, who changed the spelling

from doo rag to durag. Did I miss the time-warp? Where's my hat? :tinfoilhat:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

55. Durag is a brand name of doo rags.

No :tinfoilhat: required.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

57. I told you I was in a time-warp! thanks :-)

[BarenakedLady]

4. I'm so embarrassed by the fact

That I'm going to have to Google durags....

[idgiehkt]

5. I did, you won't be the first.

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

7. WTH?

If the OP just said bandana I wouldn't have to be so freaking embarrassed!

[idgiehkt]

9. LOL

I don't EVEN want to know what you thought it was, lol

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

11. I had no idea

Really. Sometimes my mind can be totally innocent...


No really....

[idgiehkt]

12. mine wasn't

because I forgot 'durag' was a brand, so I was thinking 'durog' pronunciation-wise, and I went straight to thinking about sex toys and there must be something out there I missed...

:rofl:

[Quantess]

8. google femullets

better yet, do an image search!

[Xipe Totec]

6. What's a durag?

I'm clueless, I admit it. :shrug:

[idgiehkt]

10. Durag -- Picture

we need to move forward, folks... :rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

13. Ooookay, then

I always associate that headgear with chemotherapy, not sexual orientation.

[crim son]

14. Who knew?

That's why we're here though, to learn! :rofl:

[idgiehkt]

15. um yeah, I'm definitely here in the lounge to expand my horizons

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

16. Heya babycakes!

:hi:

[crim son]

17. Hi Sweetpea!

We're just one big, happy family tonight. I'm so TIRED! Et tu, BNL?

[BarenakedLady]

18. Yup

Tired, but not wanting to go to bed. Then I don't want to get up in the am. Such a conundrum.

[crim son]

19. I got up to get my kids to school, and then went back to bed.

It makes for a depressing and unfulfilling day but I keep doing it. I'm an idiot.

[BarenakedLady]

20. Hehe

You and I are soooo much alike. This week my husband, as much as I've been complaining about him, has taken over getting kids ready and on the the bus in the morning. The only reason I hauled my lazy ass out of bed at 10:30 this morning was because my youngest's speech teacher was coming and I had to make the house look halfway presentable. I would stay in bed all day if I could. Depression sucks.

[crim son]

21. Mercifully, my husband is going to Boston for the weekend.

That always improves my mood :7

[BarenakedLady]

22. Oh I hear you

I so wish....:banghead:

I fucking hate the weekends.

[crim son]

24. I cancelled my Friday night out!

If I can't go out with you, I ain't going out at all :pals:

No, my buddy is becoming too attached to me again. He asked me to send him pictures of myself when I was younger, and then spent the Thanksgiving weekend emailing me to tell me how beautiful I was, and that I have apparently sipped from the fountain of youth, etc. He's also become territorial when we head out. So... I'm giving it a break.

[BarenakedLady]

26. Hmmm

Yes, sounds risky. Perhaps you should step back a bit. I'll spend Friday night with ya baby! hahaha.

[crim son]

31. I think that would be a blast, except I'd have to act as your

chaperone instead of your friend. You know, because I'm so much OLDER and WISER than you. Ha!

[mainegreen]

23. ???

:popcorn:

[crim son]

27. idgiehkt posted a pic in the thread.

Don't worry... none of us knew what the heck a durag is.

[mainegreen]

29. I dont think those are popular up here.

I tend to see more John Deere hats.

[crim son]

30. It's funny you should say that, because I've been pretty amazed

by the total hip-ness :rofl: I've seen in the local watering holes here in Bangor. A few weeks ago some dude showed up in the baggy pants (fashion-wise, the crotch is starting to droop again) a muscle-shirt, one of those d-caps from this thread, and then a hooded sweatshirt, worn with the hood over the head. In the bar. Two bits of headgear. A few days later I saw a similar outfit on a Gap commercial. We must be just a bit more progressive up here than you rednecks are down there! :P

[LeftyMom]

28. Durag sounds like a Klingon name.

I saw what it really is, but it still sounds like Lursa and B'Etor should pop up with him as some distant heir to the House of Duras.

[crim son]

32. That, or something you keep in the restroom.

Yes I know. That didn't have to be said.

[ContraBass Black]

33. And he'll whine about not getting his due in the high council chamber

Until an adult gets fed up and cleaves him in half with a bat'leh.

[petronius]

34. Not if Gowron has anything to say about it...

"The Duras may one day rule the Empire - but not today..."

[LeftyMom]

35. Gowron is a scary dude.

Those eyes! :scared:

[Book Lover]

36. Um, "okay"?

Like, "Is it ok for me to wear a doo-rag because then I won't look like a lesbian?" What the hell is that about?

[Lilith Velkor]

37. Yes. n/t

[uppityperson]

38. Of course.

I know men who wear bandanas and women who wear bandanas and little tiny babies who wear bandanas, and it is ok for a female or a male to wear a bandana or a durag if they so chose.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39. So, if a "lesbian" wears something, then it's not okay for a "female" to wear it?

I'm just asking because that's what it sounds like you're asking. Since I'm a lesbian who may wear anything from cargo shorts & polo shirt from the boys dept at Abercombie kids to a black cocktail dress & stilettos, depending on the occaision, I must ask...

Is there nothing safe for the heterosexual woman to wear anymore? Dear God, whatever shall the straight women wear?

Guess what? Lesbians and straight women wear the same exact fucking clothes. We don't all have uniforms.

[idgiehkt]

41. I can't help but laugh

every time I read this OP. It's one of my all-time favorites, I have to say.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

42. It's definitely one of the oddest questions I've read on DU.

And I've been on DU for a long time. I've seen lesbians wearing durags, but I've also seen straight women wearing durags. Honestly, I'm just baffled.

[idgiehkt]

43. me too.

and if you want to be even more baffled, read the explanation here:

:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

49. Yup...

I'm more baffled.

:shrug:

[Sapphocrat]

45. First...

...lesbians are females.

Second, I had to find out what a "durag" is.

Third, I had no idea it was part of the official lesbian uniform.

Fourth, this is definitely one of the strangest questions I've ever seen on DU.

[Sapphocrat]

47. Wow...

He's a lesbian?

I must be further out of the loop than I thought!

On edit: P.S. Honestly, I've never seen anybody wear one of those.

[idgiehkt]

59. "he's a lesbian?"

:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

48. Sappho, I've never worn a durag...

do I need to turn in my toaster?

:rofl:

[Sapphocrat]

50. At least you knew what a durag was!

I'm such a sorry lesbian, I'm afraid I'm going to have to turn in my lifetime-discount card from U-Haul!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

52. It's a hip-hop thing.

You know how us young'uns are with our new-fangled durags.

[cboy4]

58. I thought the "Durag" was the chain that attaches to the wallet...

You lesbians should really compose a dress code thread to help some of these people out! :spray:

edit..another fricken typo. :grr:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

61. Some people would be so confused going through my closet.

And I'm just talking about my shoes!

[cboy4]

54. I think as long as you don't have sex with another woman wearing

your "Durag," you don't have to worry about whether you've turned to "lesbianism."

Incidentally, who cares whether people think you might be a lesbian by the way you dress?

I didn't realize there was a lesbian dress code, but I would say wear what you want.

I don't go to baseball games all worried that other gay guys are going to think I'm straight because I wear my San Francisco Giants jersey and not tight cut offs.

I wear what I want.

edit typo

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

56. My dear cboy...

:spray:

[cboy4]

60. It would have been funnier had I not effed up a word in the first

line dammit! :blush:

[buddhamama]

62. Locking...

The question has been answered.
