I don't think I attacked FOX, John. But then again, "I comment, you
decide." :-)

Check out the footware next time you're down on the dock. You'll see
boaters running around in everything from bare feet to shoes that are
entirely inappropriate, IMO, for a boat.
If you asked me to describe the sexuality of the folks wearing the
various shoes, I wouldn't have a clue in most cases. OK, I guess the
pot bellied bald guy wearing the two-inch pumps and mascara may be
slightly obvious; but flip flops? No way. They are legitimate footware
on a boat, for either sex.

There are forces that want to chip, chip, chip away until we are a
society of single mided conformists. How can "flip flops are for
metrosexuals, not for real men" be considered news, anyway?

Well, at least you're now focusing on footwear instead of a TV station!

I agree that the telling sexuality by shoes is probably not the accurate
thing to do, but there are folks who think they can determine same by any
number of 'clues'.

Personally, I don't give a rat's ass.

What 'forces' are you referring to in your post?
