The Spectacle Blog
In his most recent article, Thomas Sowell asks, “Does anyone seriously believe that short dresses, exposing bony knees, make women look more attractive?”
Well, when a woman wears a short dress, it isn’t the knees which grab my attention.

Which explains why you blog, and Thomas Sowell publishes books.

Does he even Blog?
All I ever see him do is give out the Ball Scores, and play "Guess who Died Today?" every day.
Who knew?

Being all of twelve, navigating between the humiliation of a croaking voice and turbulent hormones, mini-shirts became all the rage. Suddenly, all the girls in high school gladly risked exposure of the "promised land” to sport their new allure. Let me tell ya: It was legs, legs, legs....glorious legs!
It was a critically formative period in this man's life. I hardly think I was in the minority in avid appreciation when confronted with the new found ocean of feminine legs.
I realize the great Mr. Sowell is older than I am; but....what's the matter with him?

People complaining about women's short dresses?
Come on!!!
For a real article, here's a topic:
Men who choose to wear baggy shorts that extend beyond the knee. Capri shorts for men if you will.
There is nothing more demonstrative of the cultural cesspool for which we are headed as the large percentage of males who choose to wear shorts so long, baggy, and obstructive that they appear to be walking in shackles. If they want a real taste of Prison Chic, society should be happy to oblige at every opportunity.

If you want a real crime, it is when women cut their hair into short, "cute" styles. Other women may gush praise, saying the new look is "sassy"; but here's the truth--if it matters: most men do not like "cute". They like long hair. Maybe only chin length, shoulder length, or down the back; but we like women to have length in their hair.
Complaining about “bony knees", Mr. Sowell? How about knotty heads? How about women who look like a mob grabbed them and shorn their hair because they collaborated with the Nazis? And don't get me started on many of those "cute" women look like they received a sudden, powerful jolt of electricity as their hair goes standing out in all directions.
We realize that the female folk have a period in their lives when they feel the need to find themselves and assert their independence--so they chop off their locks (along with changing their wardrobe and...maybe their boyfriend.) If you must, well, OK--for a time. But if you're at it too long, you're like a full grown man who listens to the Grateful Dead all day, smokin' reefer to no end, and bums money from his parents. Time to get over it and grow up.
Just sayin'.

I take it that you would not approve of a frizzy perm (circa '75) revival?

Bob: Let's put it this way: it is a dreadful tragedy that most women don't know how beautiful they really are--just as they are.
