Commuting in a short dress - Recommended!

Oddly about 20 years ago I was criticised by my then GF for not opening the car door for her. I had to explain that the Central Locking was buggered and I could only unlock the car from the drivers side. I read nothing into that but this bit of the thread just reminded me.

there you go!

(except that srw beat me to it!)

Did you miss the part where I said I was reminded of it. It was an aside nothing more.

I know - I'm just taking out a bit of general thread exasperation on you. It's a post timing thing, not a particular objection to what you wrote...

That's ok.

Knowing the abrasions I received from falling off in cycle shorts , are the ladies on the forum not concerned about incurring scars, and also Mrs Twobiker and I have had numerous talks with our 18yr old Daughter now she goes to nightclubs about what may be seen as leading guys on, by accepting drinks etc.

Why is that her problem and not a problem that lecherous men ought to sort out?

Who is the one most likely to get hurt?

 

[srw]

Ha! You got there first again.

That's what comes of preparing presentations for the IT department - you look for distractions.

Or, to put it another way, why should I stop cycling because there are some idiots in cars out there?

Its a joint problem, why would she expect some one to buy her a drink,she is perfectly capable of getting her own,and why has the drink buyer got to be lecherous, when I went to clubs, they used to let in the pretty girls in jeans but made the guys wear smart casual, none of the girls complained then about it.

Ok problem is not the right word. However if yot are aware that certain actions may bring certain consequences that are undesirable to you is it easier to change your behaviour or that of others.
I am not for one minute condoning such action but simply asking a question.

I don't know whether you have issues (and frankly it doesn't interest me) but you could consider whether you were worried about simple "I'd like a picture of that" comments. As I said, no-one was threatened in this thread, no-one assaulted, no-one put in fear of a stalker.

IME internet forums are places where people post mindless twaddle a lot. Usually I find the best thing to do is ignore it YMMV.

No, you see, for me ignoring it allows the status quo to continue.

hmmm, AFS this really does then verge into very not good territory

As for the opening doors thing- I couldn't give a toss if someone opens a door for me, as TC has said it's not even the big thing here.

Is the pub shut for refurbishment then?

 

[twobiker]

Having for some reason been knocked off twice in 4 months, the idea of wearing long sleeves and tracksuit trousers seems to appeal to me, that gravel rash bl***y hurt, and being a first on scene at a fatal motorbike/Jcb crash ,the thought of falling off wearing less not more is enough to make me ughh at the idea. Not all drivers are dangerous, not all men are lecherous, and not all ladies would use whatever they had to get on, but there are exceptions to every rule.
