Ah yes, male privilege. They get to wear anything, not shave, "do" their nails with a pocketknife, etc

I won't say that I don't miss that, but I do. But chicks get lazy too. We just are more circumspect about it.

I don't wear uncomfortable clothes. But you'd be surprised how comfortable most of our clothes are, once you get used to the different sensations. The hormones really woke up my skin. Suddenly, it felt alive! And it began transmitting everything! Shirts that used to be soft and comfy suddenly were scratchy and stiff. Even the sensation of air passing over it began to register more than before. Might be the lack of hair, might be the new conductivity, I dunno. But I can feel EVERYTHING! And I *like* it!
