A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

Don't feel too bad. Whatever the occasion it is acceptable to wear trousers. We can wear the same thing 50 times to 50 events and society won't care

Proper fitting ones are also very comfortable. While the range of men's clothing at supermarkets and bigger clothes stores is generally a lot less than women's clothes, specialised men's clothes shops and tailoring is much more common for men than women.

It just takes men a much longer time tomdoscover clothes that fit. Late 20's when I discovered it, and early 30's I have found what fits, and dye it to suit what colour I want!
