Chico’s and Tuesday Morning report elevated sales this quarter.

They look like they haven't smiled in decades, not a true smile.

I want to see the footage of Goldcoat Minion™ removing his necklaces set to Yackety Sax.

I see people in the comments dislike the gendered funmaking of Andy and Trissy. Yes, how terrible it is when someone uses stereotypes and makes fun of one’s clothing or appearance by, say, calling them “whores” or “bitches”. This is highly undignified for a serious conversation about… (checks notes) …two pimps who made their big money by teaching losers how to pimp women. Yep. Very undignified.

You can point out they're surprisingly unmanly for such male icons of dudebro machoness. What I don't like is using feminine as an insult. You don't need to use feminine as an insult to successfully mock their clothing or appearance.

I've seen otherwise generally unattractive men make themselves look pretty by doing their nails in an artistically expressive way, and I don't want to read anything that mocks that kind of behaviour. Let these perfectly nice men that have nothing to do with the Tate brothers have their make-up, why do you want to take that away from them by implying that the Tate brothers' problems are caused by their more feminine style choices? It's guilt by association aimed at entirely innocent people and I don't like it.

Being feminine is not an insult. When a man who makes a whole persona out of gendered insults, and tries to influence a new generation of boys to do the same, is photographed wearing what definitely appears to be women’s clothing?

Well, that’s fun.

It’s like the David Chappell skit where he plays the blind black Klu Klux Klan member.

Exactly, yet your "Trissy" nickname is based on the cultural assumption that femininity is weak and soft. You can call him not a manly man without calling him a diminutive/feminized nickname you know. A sarcastic "how manly of this manly man to wear the exact same outfit as my grandmother" is on an entirely different level than "what a sissy this miss Trissy is".

Disappointed that you would use trite gendered clothing stereotypes as the headline for a rapist and misogynist. You are not helping.

Tate calls himself a manly man. Pointing out that his words don't match his actions is not a problem. It's only a problem if you imply that being feminine makes you less valuable, weak, or morally suspect. And that wasn't done anywhere in this article or it's title.

I subscribe to the New Yorker and could try to share the article about the Tate brothers. We could use it as a discussion/book club idea, it is that good.

kckitty's avatar

So just realized Tate has man-boobs and weirdly chubby thighs, that he apparently thinks is sexy! OMG.

Regret's avatar

Manboobs are a common side effect of too much testosterone.

Hay, you guyzes! New Halloween costume just dropped!

At first I saw his man capris as pants tucked into Duck boots. The boot shafts are the same color as his man shins.

His pec implants will be a big hit with the bois.

If other inmates confined within the area of the jail where the Tate brothers are incarcerated decided to vindicate sexual crimes committed against their mother, sisters or girlfriends by shutting these conceited pricks down violently once and for all I know that THIS rape survivor would take considerable satisfaction from their injury and down and dirty prison demise.

I understand but do not agree. Still, if it happens I won't feel bad for long, probably less than two seconds.

sorry you had to go through that.

“We are confident that once a competent judge sees the facts, and once the Department of Justice confronts this egregious abuse of its own authority, Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free." Which is why they fled jurisdiction instead of putting the charges to rest in that lawless and uncivilized country *checks notes* England.

Yeah, "this is all a witch hunt" is a little rich.

Anyone making comments about him appearing “feminine” or “gay” are guzzling down the trope that Tate used to gain followers.

The internalised misogyny has been on full display since the alleged arrest

LAV O’Reilly's avatar

Are you really that unaware??

Eureka's avatar

No, any other man in that outfit would just look Miami trendy or European, and it would not invite comment.

The fun part is that it’s him.

LAV O’Reilly's avatar

Nope. It’s internalised misogyny and homophobia and most people are too unaware to even realise it.

Eureka's avatar

Well, we may have to agree to disagree here. It’s not a noteworthy outfit, worn by a different person.

I see just laughing at hypocrisy here.

LAV O’Reilly's avatar

Yeah that’s a typical misogynistic excuse

Look, I hear you and I too aspire to a world where this whole situation will never exist.

Laughing this kind of man hurts him more than any name you can call him.

Even more, his followers see you laughing and they will shrink with fear from imitating the things he says and does to women more than calling them misogynists ever will. They *like it* when you’re justifiably angry but they fear mockery.

Laugh at him even if you don’t find it funny, because it’s an opportunity to pour salt on this slug.

I know these guys connect to Don Jr. and Baron. Any other dots that connect? Epstein?

Regret's avatar

It's always Epstein.

kckitty's avatar

He worshiped Epstein.

Those two guys are a couple of 15 years to life sentences looking for a place to fall.
