“Please stop selling shirts carelessly” wtf are they supposed to interview the people buying them like what does this dude want
“She smiled and laughed long enough to make you go away”
In high school I wouldn’t wear band shirts in public because men would stop me on the street and ridicule me for not knowing a certain obscure song by the band or fact about one of the members, like what the actual fuck.
tiny disgusting little man harasses woman he doesn’t know and attempts to shame her for wearing a shirt
I used to wear t-shirts from the band “Slayer” and like these weird dudes would come up to me all the time and would be like “Slayer!! Woo!” and want to talk to me about “Slayer”, and I’m like “I’ve never even heard one song by Slayer, I just like the shirt.” and then they like get this weird confused look on their face and are like “You should listen to Slayer bro! Woo! Slayer.” and now I don’t even wear my Slayer shirts anymore.
Hmm. I was with this up until the last one.
If a guy approaches a gal about her band shirt because he thinks he has something in common with her (and people with things in common is a big part of what makes life awesome), and she tells him she doesn’t actually like the band, and his response isn’t some form of “how dare you” but is instead “well, this band is something I love, check them out and you might find it’s something you love too,” that seems pretty ok to me?
It’s a fuzzy line, and this feels to me like it’s on the right side of it, but maybe I’m wrong?
Should you just back away and say “sorry to bother you then”? Or just not start the convo in the first place (frankly, virtually always my course of action, which might be because I’m doing it right but maybe is just because I’m being socially awkward & losery)?
fuckin patriarchy man, making shit complicated for everyone!
