I took a small vacation to Chicago last week.  Just an overnight.  I stayed at a swank hotel, wandered the city, and ate a lot of amazing food.  I also learned about Continue reading →

Yup, It’s the Underpants Rule

Posted on February 20, 2015 by yellowandblackmail

❤
Don't tell me what my problem is, stay in your own damn underpants!
This is a great, elementary breakdown of how people should respect each other.

UnderpantsHere on DancesWithFat we have some posts that are annual traditions, one of them is this post about The Underpants Rule.

I have found there are rules that, if I follow them, usually steer me in the right direction. There’s the Golden Rule (treat others as you would like to be treated) though I prefer the Platinum Rule (treat others as they would like to be treated).  But my most favorite life rule is The Underpants Rule and not just because I named it, and not just because its widespread implementation would end about 90% of the jackassery and fuckwittery that happens on the internet, and maybe 50% that happens in the real world.

Sexist French Uber Promotion Pairs Riders With “Hot Chick” Drivers.

So gross.  Do you want a ride home, or a date?  What exactly are they implying you’re going to get?  Is this like Hooters (the concept of which I also hate), except you get to spend 20 minutes alone in a car with a woman you’ve tacitly been given permission to objectify?
