I've been watching Rachel for years, and I felt like something was amiss... then one day it hit me...
what is different in these photos?
Crystal Ball -
Melissa Harris Perry -
Rachel Maddow -
THAT'S RIGHT! NO BARE ARMS!!!
I challenge you to find me ONE photo of Rachel sleeveless!
FURTURMORE
Why isn't it O.K. for MEN to appear on these shows sleeveless, but it is common and acceptable for women??!
Could you IMAGINE Tweety or Al Sharpton coming on the show in sleeveless shirts?
On the other hand, I could TOTALLY imagine Ed Schultz coming on that way - complete with fishing pole!
RACHEL - THROW OFF THE SMOTHERING OPPRESSION OF FABRIC FASCISM!!!
Anyone else have any thoughts or explanation on this?
I leave you with the well dressed Davies brothers...

Preemptive declaration -
I fully realize it is Rachels right to wear any damn thing she wants.

(8,217 posts)I just thought the drawing was similar to some pictures I have seen him as.
I mean, the illustration is of Beau Brummel.
Geeze, I got confused. I thought you were saying that drawing was of a girl.

(4,734 posts)"All that being said, scientists have started gathering alternative data that might help solve the mystery of when we humans started covering our bits.
A recent University of Florida study concluded that humans started wearing clothes some 170,000 years ago, lining up with the end of the second-to-last ice age. How did they figure that date out? By studying the evolution of lice.
Scientists observed that clothing lice are, well, extremely well-adapted to clothing. They hypothesized that body lice must have evolved to live in clothing, which meant that they weren't around before humans started wearing clothes. The study used DNA sequencing of lice to calculate when clothing lice started to genetically split from head lice.
The findings of the study are significant because they show that clothes appeared some 70,000 years before humans started to migrate north from Africa into cooler climates. The invention of clothing was probably one factor that made migration possible. "
