I promise not to condescend to you. To assume that you hate clothes or shopping or any of that stuff because you’re a “guy” and you need a woman to straighten you out. You are a fucking grown up, just like I am, and no matter what your level of knowledge, you’re capable of thinking like one.
(In related news: I’ve been reading a lot of press releases and men’s magazines lately.)
I recently read this small tirade on Put This On, and it resonated with me. I just wrapped up an internship with a major fashion retailer and the attitude they have is that men don’t know how to dress themselves. Sadly, Their assumption is right… The majority of men out there have no idea how to put an outfit together and just buy whatever they see on the mannequin.
The people that know enough to get outraged at being talked down to are in the minority.
