Naw. I’ve run into that perspective my whole life.
If you’re light hearted or having fun or taking visible enjoyment that people deem “too muchâ€, then you’re immature, lacking in dignity, naive, not worth respect, dumb, can’t take things seriously, etc.
Quit trying to sap enjoyment out of my life, I say. If I’m having fun, that doesn’t mean I’m immature. If I enjoy cheesie things, that doesn’t mean I’m naive or stupid. If I’m laughing it doesn’t make me undignified.
Socks do not make a person.
It’s probably a good thing the internet doesn’t let you see what I’m wearing. This way I’m judged for what I’m saying, not what I’m wearing!
And yes, I realize I’m not a public figure. But it’s not like he’s wearing Hawaiian shirts and Mardi Gras beads. They’re socks. Ever watched Bones?
On the flip side of that coin, if I sit quietly in the corner and wear boring clothes I’m told I need to smile more and have fun.
I’ve never wanted to be a politician but now that I’m thinking about it this way, I’m quite used to most of those kinds of judgements anyway!
Don’t like his policies, don’t like his dad, don’t like his wife, don’t like his hair, but his socks? Really?!
His socks get classed right up there with speaking moistly for me. He’s human. His socks make him relatable to me. I don’t want an automaton in office.
You enjoy your socks, Mr Trudeau! If I were at home I’d share some photos of mine!
