I agree-what's next-spandex, speedos, crocs, jelly shoes, parachute pants. It's a slippery slope.

If I wear them around the house my husband won't leave me alone until I -- ahem -- take them off.

loudly about how their religion and "values" are better than the rest.
No wonder American extremist religious wing-nuts love Saudi Arsbia, it is like a model for them.

All very conservative of course. Religious not in the spiritual sense, but the tribalistic one. Always bitching about stupid stuff like this as though it signified the end of US culture. Clothes, language, tattoos etc. They just want to circle the wagons and interact only with themselves, then they freak out whenever they have to leave their comfort zones.
