boots to one of the rush days?

As far as that goes, does a gentleman even utter those kinds of judgments in public?

I think that if he does, he doesn't get to criticize the manners of others.


I am male, but as I also think that I remember you're a lawyer, I'll offer a different sort of dual: We meet in court and then beers afterward.

I must admit that in principle I have to agree with you. This silly exchange got off track and out of control over what I was intending as a cautionary comment. I have observed perfectly nice girls being cut to ribbons over a minor mis-step in their appearance during rush and was trying to be helpful. My sister's comment was very much in keeping with what I was afraid might happen. It was a snide remark but I thought it captured and demonstrated what I had hoped to head off. The PNM seemed to be a very nice girl who has done her homework and was seeking advice. My good intention went horribly wrong as I think the response triggered a resentment at what was seen by some as intrusion into a 'closed shop'. No intrusion was intended but when I was ordered to get out of the thread my reaction was to reject orders given by one who lacked the authority to issue said orders.
Anyway, I hope this issue has come to an end and as to our dispute I propose an ADR solution: When you are next in London please be my guest at my Inn of Court (Inner Temple) for lunch and a brew or three or perhaps a bit of claret. Afterwards we could observe English trial procedure at the Royal Courts of Justice across the street. Similar and different at the same time. PM me if OK with you. I think this thread has been off-subject far too long and absent any more attacks I now withdraw. Cheers.

1. "I made a comment that was out of line and inappropriate about a topic in which I have no expertise."
2. "I called someone sexist for telling me to stay in my lane without admitting the absolutely sexist nature of my first comment."
3. "I'm better than her and you and everyone else, blah blah blah."
4. "I'm not sorry for being a douchecanoe."
5. "I'm better than you blah blah blah."

It would seem that my error was thinking that you understood the English language. Your analysis suggests that your fluency is in another language entirely. Frankly Scarlett...

I'm so glad that you've come to mansplain everything to me.

"She sees through my bullshit, she MUST not understand English! I'm going to British Mansplain everything to that empty-headed little dolt!"

I just got back from a NYC-style photo shoot with a photographer/stylist (Keith Bailey) that's done Vogue, Cosmo, etc and one of the looks he put me in was a black lace & purple taffeta dress and black knee-high stilleto boots. I'll post a couple full lengths when I get them back. This has nothing to do with rush because the point was to be vampy, but boots + dress can work.
