The Reality Situation

If only every country were as awesome as the United States of America

An Observation

| 4 Comments | No TrackBacks

There seem to be a non trivial percentage of women who look far better without clothes than when wearing them. Naturally, as a good liberal, I blame the patriarchal culture that dominates our lives.

However, I must say that poor fashion choices seem to also account for an unnerving percentage of these data points. Again, I blame society. Self image is largely shaped by peer perception and mass media is our peer perception in these modern times.

Although the repressed libertarian in me (don't worry, I'm doing my best to eradicate it) can't help but wonder if a mirror or two might help matters. Doesn't matter when they've shed their clothes, of course, but still. One would think that observing the ill fitting clothes in a reflection would lead to better fashion choices in the long run...

Don't you wish there was someone with a massive public soapbox who could tell things like they really are instead of leading y'all into the biggest strategic disaster in world history? When you find one, I'll be in Singapore. Suckers!
