Happy you admitted it. I mean that genuinely. For the record, I never demanded anything and never claimed anything to be unjust.
I understand you didn't quite me, but seeing as the person you did quote was responding to me, I'll take me to be included in your audience. To me, injustice is the "queer" person who is physically assaulted and/or bullied for the way they dress, the way they speak, the way they move their body through space, but injustice is not this forum.
My main point through all this was to maintain that if you're going to criticize someone for the way they dress, at least admit in the end that you're not standing on as solid of a ground as you think. I would even argue so much as to say that this idea of "group think" functions in a more subtle way. It is not so much that there is an agreed upon standard, but that those standards are selectively applied and there is much more ambiguity here than maybe we want to admit.
Was I wrong to assume that this thread was less about getting feedback or critiques and more about posting what you're wearing right now? One may read that as, "oh, he just wants positive feedback and affirmation." However, this is not so. I think the value in posting in a thread such as this is to give others ideas about what to do and what not to, both of which can be decided by those people.
That being said, I appreciate your words as they have helped me to better understand this thread and the forum as a whole.
