Burn our Jocks!

Well it seems it may be time for the MEN in this world to stand up and be counted once more instead of letting our dicks lay sadly limp on the ground to be tromped on (ok so its an exaggeration). Now its not a natural trait of mine to be sexist in my ways and this is not an exception.
What my ramble concerns is something more over-looked and sadly has made its way to an un-noticeable but acceptable norm.

Heres how the story goes.......

Saturday night I was invited to a 'bar', after spending lots of hours in deliberation i managed to finally come up with an outfit suitable for the night, a true achievement in itself (Yeah I'm metro.........bite it shut up).
So off I head to this 'bar', its a fair travel, about 45 minutes, aprrox $7 in tolls with getting lost a little... one way, this was no big deal as i had been told the bar would be worth it!
BULL.......... whilst waiting in the line to get into the 'bar' an intelligent and suitably qualified .........bouncer, indicated to me that i would not be getting into said 'bar' as i was not wearing a collared shirt, and defiantly not in those shoes......OK fair enough you say rules are rules and I should of known better.... I can accept that a little risk taken on my behalf by not wearing a collared shirt and leather shoes and that didn't pay off..... WRONG......my ramble today is how you have been groomed to think like this!
How is it logical ?
Why is it so ?
Now besides rules are rules how did this come to be?
Answer I have no idea.
First thing I thought was OH & S fair enough if i was to wear leather shoes, maybe that could potentially protect my feet from injury and as for the OH & S requirements and a collar will provide some wind resistance to a high speed bloke and prevent an injury by bumping into someone?????????
Well no, this would directly suggest only boys have accidents in bars as girls can get into the bars wearing thongs and a singlet shirt

Hmmmm

So what about the thug factor?
Once upon a time it may of been slightly more expensive and impracticable to buy collared shirts purely for going out, and I guess leather shoes still can be regarded as expensive, but come on.....Is it really possible that a person slightly inclined to get into a punch up will be slightly less inclined to rumble because he is wearing a collared shirt and leather shoes?? I don't think so especially since those leather shoes provide protection from injury when kicking someones head in.....wouldn't want those toes to get hurt....and least there is a handy collar about to wipe up that excess blood..

Which brings me to my conclusion gone are the days where a collar will limit trouble, and leather shoes will only attract the higher classes to your bar. Give the bounces some thinking power (may require an operation in some instances) and let blokes be judged case by case instead of using a blanket rule that is in our now modern times 'out-dated')
Thugs will be thugs no matter what they wear
Accidents still happen to both sexes

Good night,
