manlycornhusk's blog post - I don't get it....

I was thinking the other day that clothing is downright confusing. What exactly is it's purpose? Ok, it's winter and our evolution has taken away our external hair leaving us defenceless to chapping and impromptu shrinkage. Yes, that downy coat makes plenty of sense but what about when it's 90 degrees outside? Am I to believe that the development of sweat glands in the human species was directly and purposefully tied into wearing clothes? Bah Humbug.

Do you know what I think clothes are.....they are the outward badge of our shame. Our bodies are verbotten, forbidden, dirty, the devils playgrounds and thousands of other descriptive adjectives specifically coined to help us come to the realization that being social creatures means trying to hide the most of ourselves as possible to fit in. They talk about diversity...it's a good thing, isn't it? Then why do we take the physical bodies that we are born in and try to undiversify them by dressing like everyone else?

Do you want to stop war? Everyone get naked! Personally, I don't want to accidentally sit on a sharp bayonet. War would be impractical.

Do you want to stop sexual violence? If the body became as common as white sliced bread, it would no longer be the hotly desired, taboo come-on that it is now. It would all be out there...nothing to see here folks..I got one you got one.

Do you want to stop hatred? First of all, it's hard for a group of men to be jumping around in a rage when everyone's laughing at a bunch of tallywhackers bouncing to the beat. Women...well, breast bounce too. Wouldn't it be damned hard to put enough effort into hate when you're just having a good time being idiots?

I'm telling you...I think I'm onto something and maybe sites like this will eventually help people get their heads out of their asses and straighten up.

Peace and Love and Naked Politics.....Doug
