Lily: Who arbitrarily decided that it's inappropriate to wear patterned flannel pants in public?
Simon: A sad, bitter person, probably.
Lily: I could make my OWN flannel pants, and if anyone questions me I'll say "these are just pants. These were MADE to be worn outside." People would accept it, because "intended use" is such a powerful idea.
Simon: Like stuff that's "for men" and "for women."
Lily: Yeah. God forbid you use a WOMEN'S razor or your face will sprout violets!
