The pussification of the American Male

Alternate Title: Guaranteed to be the fastest and easiest way to become a eunuch, or your money back!

I'm mentioned it before, but I just don't understand today's clothing designers fascination with low rise jeans for men. A stroll through your local mall will have you bearing witness to more ass-crack than you'd see at a plumber's convention. I've always avoided them, low rise jeans and men prominently displaying ass-crack, like the plague, yet these days it's getting to be impossible.

A ban at the office has been placed on said jeans, with promises of superglue and crack spackle being utilized to deal with offenders bearing their derrieres. Yet in spite of the warnings and memos being sent out one of the gentlemen, and I use the term loosely, hath purchased and worn said low-rise jeans to work. He did however turn out to be a source of amusement.

From the restroom after lunch we heard was a blood curling yelp followed by a string of obstinacies, in a notably higher pitch than he normally speaks in, and noticed a definite waddle as he gingerly made his way through the office.
Apparently he hadn't adjusted to the low-rise portion of the jeans and as he was snatching them into place they managed to split a hair or two, if you know what I mean.

It'd be one thing if he'd learn from his mistakes, yet he repeated said event, not once but twice. That's three times the laughter we typically get around the office when someone inadvertently attempts to neuter themselves. Of course I'd like to thank him for adding that extra bit of well deserved Clorox to the gene pool.

I swallowed my gum when I read the title. Then I was relieved to learn that you men haven't caught on to what we women are doing to you. ;)

He freaking did it again?

Um, would this be the knucklehead I know, or one of the new ones?

Hey, I look damn sexy in my low rise jeans. And if you wear them properly, you don't get that hair pulling.

As far as low-rise jeans are concerned, they are a Godsend for the short female :) My jeans actually fit properly at my waist now....

Um, straight men DO NOT wear low-rise (or ESPECIALLY designer) jeans. Ever. Never ever. You don't want dorky high-waisted crap, but low-rise? No. Way, way, way too trendy-chic/gay. And some guy wore low-rise jeans to WORK??? Was he also wearing eyeliner?

(I'm with Caltechgirl though; I don't know wtf I ever did without them myself.)

FOR THE LOST AND CONFUSED, LOWRISE JEANS HAVE REPEATED THEMSELVES THROUGH FASHION HISTORY. I MODIFIED 70'S STYLE. FOR THE PUSSIFIED MEN, TOUGH CRAP. I WEAR THEM AND IT IS QUITE CONFORTABLE ON MY HIPS THAN ABOVE. I DO RECALL THE HIGH WAISTED JEANS WHICH CRACKED AND SQUEEZED MY BALLS TOO MANY TIMES OVER. YES I AM GAY, QUEER AND EYELINER FREE, LOOSE YOUR IGNORANCE GET YOU HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND REALIZE THE WORLD DOES NOT EVOLVE AROUND YOU SELF ABSORBED AND OVERLY SELF CENTERED STEREO TYPING BITCHES.
