Huge bike shop, limited women's cycling apparel

[PamNY]

I cannot stand the notion of some feminists that what I choose to wear is somehow "oppressive" in their eyes. The whole point is that women have a choice on all matter of life decisions, including what to wear. Don't judge me because I wear a skort, goodness!.

I didn't say anything was oppressive; I simply mentioned skirts/skorts seemed that way to me based on experiences from years ago. And I certainly didn't express judgement toward you or anyone else.

If you go back and read what I wrote (and it was very carefully written), you will see evidence of open-mindedness on my part.

All of us, whether we realize it or not, have attitudes and opinions based on past experiences. An awareness of these influences, which is what I expressed, is a good and healthy thing. It's also interesting to share with other people (though perhaps not you).

I have had many fascinating discussions on topics like this with a much older friend (and much younger friends, for that matter).

Tulip, here is something that might help you understand what I'm talking about:
