Gender Neutral clothing

    WAs just browsing a local (Cork) magazine, and couldn't help but notice an article on this gender neutral clothing lark.

    Don't get me wrong, I think people should be allowed wear absolutely whatever they like (or wear as less as they choose) but this is just absolutely diabolical looking.

    I don't know why people who push gender-neutral clothing have to make it look so shíte.

    Every young lad / girl is wearing O'Neills training tops and skinny tracksuit bottoms these days. They're basically gender neutral as it is without looking completely miserable like poor auld Patín there in the OP.

    Does wearing gender neutral clothing turn one into a filthy hoarder or something?

    Blankets are gender neutral. Everything else is designed with a specific demographic in mind.

    Sorry, realised this was from a foreign magazine. Us Irish shouldn't judge foreign cultures by our standards etc.

    What's this about?
    Wearing sweatshirts and rugby tops?

    I wear the OHs tops all the time, is there something wrong with that?

    The person in the OP's pic looks sick and disgruntled and uncomfortable.

    I generally find that if I go into a shop and can't figure out which is the men/women's section easily. It's generally not a shop for me.

    I'm so manly I even wear a suit and tie when I shower.

    They should just call it unisex clothing.

    As soon as I hear 'Gender neutral' I immediately think PR stunt or virtue signalling.

    There's really no difference between "Unisex" and "gender neutral" though. I suppose one has been somewhat demonised, but I suspect "unisex" would probably go the same way.

    Still and all, agreed on both - don't care if people want to wear unisex/g-n clothing but it'd be nice to see some that doesn't look horrendous.

    That's not gender neutral, that is clearly Romulan.

    Out recently with the kids (aged 13, 12 & 9).
    A person passed and the daughter wondered if the person was a boy or girl - clothing was beanie, jeans, converse, check shirt. The 9 year old pipes up that maybe the person is gender neutral. The conversation then moved on to what a great choice the person made in their clothing because it could be worn on all genders and none.
    It doesn't matter what you think of clothes in a magazine, the kids have it figured out.

    Clothes have been gender neutral for a long time now. You go into the men's section in a River Island and it's impossible to tell the difference any more.

    I thought it was a young Father Ted

    It was the skinny jeans that did it. Cuts off the circulation to the balls and reduces testosterone in men so they'll be more docile when Amanda Brunker writes about some ****e.

    Yer man George Soros is behind it all and it's all to do with the Illuminati and the disappearing bees. Follow the money lads - skinny jeans.

    I bet you that we'll see ridiculous combinations of clothing.
    Kinda like in the picture the op posted. A suit jacket with a dress. A total mixture of women's and men's clothing mashed up together and called "gender neutral clothing"

    Gas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    So it's basically ill fitting clothing designed without consideration for the female and male form.

    It looks like a photo of a ghost to me.

    The pic reminds me of those films set in a dystopian future where fashion has gone to shyte.

    They should at least put some tartan on it so it could be seen as either a skirt or a kilt, depending on sporran usage.

    What's with all the crap in the background? There appears to be a car battery, loads of petrol cans and a bag of fertiliser. Is he planning on making some kind of bomb?

    How dare you assume his gender!

    That's not gender neutral that's just dressing like a twat. I wouldn't put that on me if you paid me.

    Why is there a ghost in that garage?
