I hope I don’t offend too many people in writing this. I really do believe that a woman should know what she likes and be willing to commit to it. But please, not THAT. I am traumatized almost beyond words.

It happened at a baseball game last night. The offender was a SSBBW (that’s Super-Size Big Beautiful Woman) who had a tendency to walk around with a scowl on her face.

Perhaps she was offended by the looks she was getting. Mind your own business, I can imagine her thinking, and maybe saying if someone had the nerve to make a comment.

I’m not one of those people who is offended by the mere sight of a hefty person of any dimensions. I’m not offended when I see large people eat. It bothers me a lot more when I hear skinny people make comments about hefty people eating like pigs, when in fact the skinny person is one of the people with the most porcine (or bovine) eating habits I have ever seen. People are blind to their own actions and their own behavior. But let’s not get into that. It is beside the point of this little discussion.

The problem was what she chose to wear. We have to have standards, Ladies. Just because Onslow can get away with wearing a wifebeater on Keeping Up Appearances doesn’t mean we can. And especially it doesn’t mean that a woman should be wearing one of those muscle tees that looks like a regular tee shirt with the armholes hacked out really big. Only a buff young guy should wear one of those, and even on him it would be too casual for most public appearances.

Here’s the problem: she was wearing a shirt like that kind. The armholes came down to, well, maybe two or three inches above the waist. They were a good eight inches across. So if her breasts hadn’t hung down to her waist, one straight down and one at a peculiar angle, she probably would have been arrested for wearing that. For sure I would have been arrested.

Yeah, the nipples were hidden, but that was about all.

Err… Ladies, please. You are Superior Women. Superior You should dress like Superior Women. Wear clothing in public.

Thanks.
