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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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 feel sorry for men who have to wear pants (lemmy.world)

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!

Here's a little secret. We have all the options in the world. No one is stopping me from wearing a skirt or dress.

I just simply don't want to. I love pants. I think they feel great. Adds another layer of protection for my balls.

You don't have to be sad for anyone.

Edit: just to add... just underwear is not enough for me. Just like some girls don't like it when their boobs bounce around, I don't like it when my balls bounce around.

Pants help keep them in place. Gotta take care of those. My entire bloodline depends on it.

I’m glad you feel free to dress how you want! I’m not sure that’s universal, but hopefully some day it will be.
