    So Kate Harding, you feel slapping by the fashion trends?

    How would you like a loving, pleasant slap to your backside?;)

    How come women never understand what is really important?

    If you don't like the fashion, then don't buy it, and try walking around nude in the privacy of your own home more often. I assume you do most of your work from home anyway.

    I was surprised when my women friends told me that women are often squeamish about walking around nude in women's locker rooms and public showers.

    Once you learn to really love yourself, then you can tell the fashion industry to go fuck itself.

    That's what men do.
