What male politicians (or really any man of even a slight level of stature) wear might get talked about more if there were anything to talk about. You've got what, tux or not, one of two (now three) potential suit colors, two colors of tie, and flag pin Y/N? Not to excuse the inherent sexism of women of stature being judged on their clothes and appearance, but men's clothing is just too boring to do anything with.

If only Obama had worn the golden space emperor cloak.

Clotheschat can be the result of sexism but given we just spent pages and pages actually discussing the content of the debate I think we can be permitted some as a palate cleanser after discussing the possible end of peaceful democratic transition in the US. Also clothes are interesting as a means of communicating a message anyway.

and trunp, if he cant dress himself, can pay someone to do it reasonably well. i mean, he looks well enough put together that, if you ran into him on the street, youd have to look at his hair to figure out hes a raving lunatic. while clintons leading wardrobe chat, it is the one event that Donald Trump's hair seems to be playing the same league as her

Just think of all the stunning outfits Sky Admiral President Bachmann could have had by now if she had won in 2012.



Can't decide if her outfit there or that time she was forced to pour water for all the male candidates at the values voters summit was the weirdest Bachmann-related moment of the 2012 GOP primary cycle.

There's really only so much distance from Missile Silo A to Soviet Tank Farm B and its not like flight times for ICBMs are unknown. To be honest, poo poo was far scarier under the 24 hour alerts/flight systems, mainly because we almost nuked ourselves multiple times and only through the grace of 10 cents worth of electronics did the bombs not go off when we either accidentally dropped them in the Carolina silt or crashed them into Iceland.

I like totally don't dispute that we had a very nice debate analysis going on here for like the past two hundred pages or whatever, and I totally get that it's a palate cleanser.

But the person I replied to said explicitly that it wasn't a gender thing, and it is. Like yeah, you can point to outfits President Obama has worn that were talked about-dad jeans, tan suit-but I guarantee every single outfit Hillary has ever worn since she entered politics has been scrutinized by the media. Ditto for Michelle. It's a gender thing.

I don't mind discussing how stylin' our Dread Abuela is. But that's something we should be cognizant of.

Doesn't really compare to the scrutiny women get about their clothes, but I wish a bit more variety was tolerated on the male side.
For all the posters who aren't regulars in the political cartoons thread as well as this one: Remember that one time Obama wore that nice tan suit?

Mike Lester has had him in that tan suit in about half his cartoons since then. It's a loving thing.

I feel like that's more of an issue of racism.

Nobody would've given a gently caress if Bill wore a tan suit.
