Angered Blogger Responds To Our High-Waisted Shorts Column, Tells Us To Stop Wearing Cargo Shorts

And I do mean angry. Here’s a direct quote from her blog entry:

You can hate high-waisted shorts all you want, and that’s fine. The particular tone of an article that was written on TotalFratMove.com though about it completely pissed me off and I felt the need to say something. Just trying to make a point. Sorry if I offend you.

Oh, she mad (and not too strong grammatically).

The article she’s referring to is, of course, SFPL’s “Why Girls Should Stop Wearing High-Waisted Shorts,” which was actually published nine months ago but regained traction during the weekend and has gone viral for the second time. Who knew the topic of high-waisted shorts was such a polarizing one? We’ve received an outpouring of responses, ranging from “Preach!” to “Go play in traffic, you chauvinistic cunt bucket.”

Of course, the possibility exists that she’s simply angry at the seeming objectification of women. Yeah, that’s probably it. Lighten up though, babe. It’s all in good fun. My boy SFPL didn’t mean any harm. Guys have opinions about what looks good on you and, clearly, what doesn’t–just like I’m sure you prefer a well-tailored suit over a T-shirt and jeans, swim trunks over below-the-knee board shorts, or a six-pack over a beer gut. You may not write about your opinions, but they’re still your opinions. You may also despise tank tops, boat shoes, sunglass straps, or even cargo shorts.

You know, cargo shorts–those thousand-pocketed, mile-long ass slayers that we wear literally all the time. Well, this lady thinks we should stop wearing them. She got us fucked up. I wouldn’t trade my cargos for a roll in the hay with Rosie Jones, which is kind of ironic, because I routinely have sexual intercourse with Rosie Jones-caliber women when I’m wearing my cargs.

She even provides a list of reasons why we should stop wearing them:

1) There’s a 80% chance you look like a tool.
2) So. Many. Pockets.
3) The colors that they usually come in are abysmal.
4) They essentially make your thighs disappear.
5) 85% of the time they just look awful. I only know a few guys who are in shape enough or thin enough to wear them. The rest of you shouldn’t because it makes your legs look like sausage casings.
6) It just announces to us females that you have absolutely no fashion taste even before we get the chance to talk to you.

My rebuttal to each point:

1) There’s also an 80% chance we’ll get laid when we put them on.
2) So. Many. Condoms. To. Carry. (For all the sex we’re having.)
3) The colors attract babes, like a peacock flaunting his colorful feather pallet to land peahen babes.
4) They essentially make your panties disappear.
5) Who needs to stay in shape when you’re already fighting off so many babes (on account of the cargos)?
6) It just announces to you females that the length of our shorts is necessary to conceal the impressive length of our lap hammers.

Okay, okay, enough playing around. It is painfully obvious you didn’t waste a single mouse click looking through our website before writing your blog post. You used one page of hundreds of thousands to reach your conclusion. If you had done three minutes of research, you would have figured out rather quickly that cargo shorts are perhaps the number one “anti-frat” identifier on our site. TFM users don’t simply dislike cargo shorts; they regularly compare people who wear them to terrorists, and sometimes even threaten their lives.

Our most popular weekly feature, Fail Friday, is essentially a cargo short bash session.

I’m not sitting here trying to say no one around these parts is deserving of apparel-related admonishment. Just look at the idiots in the photo at the top of this page. They look like a douchebag rainbow. We make fun of them, too, by the way. We rip on everybody, really. It’s a tough crowd around here.

        Whatever. I beg to differ. They are actually pretty cool. Can’t judge a book by its cover

        one of them is wearing a flat bill hat…might as well be wearing cargo shorts

    Most girls would be lying if they said they didn’t dress to impress guys. Because push up bras and wedgie inducing cheekster panties are sooo comfortable.

    i’ll admit that her argument was bad, but that high-waisted shorts article was ABHORRENT and you should feel awful for ever posting it. it’s extremely misogynistic. no girl gives a shit what guys think look good. they can wear what ever the fuck they want and no guy has a say in it, and if you don’t like it then suck it up because no one fucking cares. and to post an article like this one here is just straight up immature. and about cargo shorts, she is VERY right about that one. they are hideous, please stop wearing them. and your rebuttal just made me cringe you misogynistic piece of shit. i literally have nothing to say on it because it’s so bad. I can’t believe it was even typed.

    i know i’m going to get shit by this by other guys going “yo man it’s just a joke calm down” but no, i’m going to call your shit out when it’s wrong.

      take your feelings. put them in your pockets. there is plenty of them for all your butthurt.

        OH MAN. OH GOD. OH MAN OH GOD YOU GOT ME GOOD. WHAT A FANTASTIC COMEBACK. SUCH ENLIGHTENMENT. SUCH LOGICAL VALID POINTS.

        you have truly defeated me. good job. congratulations.

        but no, this isn’t “just being butthurt” this article is literally taking a girl’s valid feelings and opinions and saying they mean nothing simply because she is a woman. do you not see the problem with that? are you that fucking ignorant and stupid that you don’t see how shitty women are treated on a constant basis? this is just another example of men who treat women like shit and think that their feelings and opinions mean nothing that and only a man’s opinion is worthwhile. so no, i won’t just shut up because i’m calling you out on your awful behavior.

        It’s like this reply chain is representation of the hole you’re digging, douche.

      On the note of ‘calling shit out when it’s wrong’, are you seriously going to make a blanket statement like “no girl gives a shit what guys think look good” and expect to be taken seriously? You just grouped your entire gender under a single personal opinion. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I know you’ll respond with some variation of the excuse that women wear uncomfortable things like high-heels, push up bras and uncomfortable underwear because they want to personally look good, but I guarantee a certain degree of women do it to try and impress a man or woman they are attracted to. Hell, I’d say that men are guilty of wearing things that they think will impress women all the time. Sure, I feel like a beauty walking around in a custom made suit, but a part of me also enjoys how women respond to it.

      P.S. PLEASE learn how to tell the difference between a satirical piece and a serious one.

        YOU THINK I’M A FUCKING WOMAN!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHA

        NO WONDER YOU’RE ALL TREATING ME LIKE SHIT! shows how you guys really think. which is sad. very very sad.

        i’m not, but what does that have to do with anything? how would that make my opinions any different?

        and let me guess, you’re a men’s rights activist?

        Regardless if your gender, please refer to CNN, Huffington Post, New York Times or another liberal media outlet to express your feelings/ beliefs where your audience may actually give a fuck.

        For what it’s worth, boy or girl (still unsure based on the avatar) you’re opinion still sucks. Hippie.

        10 years ago at 3:41 pm
      5. dnelsonn

        why does it suck? are you saying women should continue to be oppressed and treated like shit? elaborate. calling me a hippie does absolutely nothing for your argument except show your ignorance.

      6. Alcrowholic

        because

        A) It works both ways buddy. You cant be one-sided. Women are just as judgemental towards men.

        B) You’re arguing over a post that was made to be entirely satirical so to get all butthurt is unneccessary.

        C) You clearly didn’t get the cargo shorts point. CARGO SHORTS ARE NOT FRAT. She was mistaken, as are you.

        D) Eat a bag of dicks, geed. You look like Frankie Muniz.

        Oh.. And your opinion sucks because you, like many in this forsaken state of society, are incapable of differentiating satirical based websites such as TFM with those who seriously oppress the rights and feelings of others. People like you are too worried about what others think and feel. Lighten up, kid.

        To be fair I’m still bummed about that too. It was a pretty funny show

        10 years ago at 5:11 pm
      3. Alcrowholic

        this is true.

        at the end of the day, let us all just take home what’s most important about this thread. Malcolm in the Middle was a good show.

      Considering that the you created an account at TFM today, I’m going to assume that you’re new here.

      It isn’t misogynist at all. People can wear what they want, but by the same token, they aren’t entitled to universal approval of the entire species. If the guys on this website think that high wasted shorts are hideous, then they can. If the woman who wrote the response thinks that cargo shorts are hideous, then she can. I’m sure you can find plenty of articles talking about guys wearing shit that girls find “unattractive.” Also if no girl gives a shit, then why have I had like 3 different girls on my social networking feeds complain that they don’t like the article? Oh, it’s because they actually do care and don’t want to swallow their pride and admit that they care about what others think of them.

      You open by saying that girls can wear what ever the fuck they want and no guy has a say in it and that if you don’t like it then suck it up and then turn around and say cargo shorts are hideous and that men should stop wearing them as if that is not the exact same thing you just told everyone to stop doing…can’t have it both ways

      You made an account now, nine months after the original article was posted to speak out on this. Don’t make too much of a mess when you play in traffic.
