Skirts are breezy and comfortable. Fuck off.

Shout out to my skinny guys: Girl clothes are cut for us, especially at the waist. Hoodies and jackets are the bomb. Try it. Wife about shit when I strapped on my new women's jacket. "OH! SO sexy!"
Got plenty of casual clothes given to me by exes. That's how I learned.
Buttons and zippers on the "wrong" side are a pain, still worth it.
(For context: I'm a middle-aged, white guy living in the South. No one so much as blinks.)
None of those are women's clothes though, they're "women's" clothes, gendered only by companies trying to make more money.
That's the point he's trying to make
Not really. Good women’s clothing is cut differently then men’s clothing, so it fits our bodies better, mostly accomodating our narrower waists and wider hips. (And the zippers and buttons are on the opposite side too of course.)
Lies! Deception! Women's clothing rarely accomodates my wide hips. Swimming shorts at the men's fit me better. Which it shouldn't! Same goes for nice, loose clothing. Even the largest sizes just feel like they are trying to shape my shape into a more feminine shape, rather than accomodate my shape comfortably. Fuck women's clothing. Flimsy, thin, short, cold, crawling, tight, garbage with stupid design. All of it.
The life of a skinny man. Do I choose the clothes that fit me right, or do I choose the clothes with usable pockets?
Mine (mostly) have pockets! But the obvious (to me) reason so many women's clothes lack pockets is because pockets ruin the form. Wearing my zip-up jacket yesterday, looked great, cut tight, but if I carried stuff in the side pockets it would ruin the look.
And if women truly wanted useable pockets, they'd buy more such clothes. Not like these designers are clueless as to what sells and aren't maximizing profit.
Exactly! I'm like a 28 inch waist and it's nearly impossible to find men's jackets, T-shirts or hoodies that fit right.
Tried buying girl versions of those things? Not sure about T-shirts, haven't tried that. But I have a small middle-aged gut, not much at all, but I think I might look silly in a woman's T-shirt.
