Actually, I don't have another thing. I would like to second Maddie's first thing and point out that having patriarchy-blamers like Maddie around is awesome. Despite years of feminist scholarship, I am more "slow burn" than "righteous rage". And, frankly, there is a time for rage or at least a WTF?!? In other words, I knew the running skirt bothered me (really, could that be comfortable?). I knew that a perusal of the website made me feel even worse, but it sort of took Maddie's articulation to pull it all together for me.
In my own defense, when I realized I (too!) could own a skirt in colors "pink camo", "smooch", or "flirtini" I was able to begin to articulate my own frustrations. I think we can all agree that nothing says flirtini like Leah in a skirt at mile 7.
As a side project, I am thinking about starting an athletic ballet flats and heels company. I am pretty sure there is a market. It'll be like the Easy Spirit commerical (looks like a pump; feels like a sneaker) but women will honestly wear the shoes to compete. Who's with me?
