For the sake of all our mental equilibria, I shall refrain from investigating that particular sartorial avenue.

What/whom are these forces that are on an unending mission to humiliate the western male?
Lesbians? Jihadis? Commies?

"Wearing Spandex/lycra anything is a PRIVILEGE, not a right."
I know of no red-blooded, macho male who would be caught dead in these things! Yikes!
