About a year ago I got some cute green cargo pants. Love. But then I started noticing after washes they looked like they had oil spots on them. I would try stain treating them but they got worse. It got bad enough I can't wear them anymore because it looks like I got something all over them.

Well, I got some new pants, light gray this time. I just washed them for the first time and THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING! These are brand new and they fit so cute 😭

Does anyone have any clue why this is happening? It has happened with different types of detergent. Is my washer just too old and it's got something in there that is staining my clothes? This has only happened to my cargo pants, no jeans, no tops, no active wear. Help!

It sounds like he has AGP. I think he's giving you a little crumb of truth. I'm sure these men's shorts are pretty cool and breezy. I mean men really are the people who should be wearing the short shorts, since they're always complaining about being too hot!

I mean i understand why short shorts may be more comfy and stuff but you don't need to freaking change your whole identity just to wear them. Thats just giving into sexist expectations on "gendered" clothing.

Yeah, I think he's lying. However, this does remind me of real HR complaints at a tech company I worked for from guys who were angry that women could wear short skirts to work but the poor men weren't allowed to wear shorts. Let them wear skirts or shorts to work in my opinion. Women aren't ruling men's fashion. They won't like the way they have to sit, though.

Tbh the HR complaints were done rightfully so. I think its silly that people still assume some clothes belong to a certain sex while others of the opposite cannot wear it

I've never found short shorts comfy. Sitting on a public bench with your actual ass cheeks on the bench is unpleasant to me. Men's shorts are very comfy to me.

I have bought mostly men's shorts for decades now for this very reason.
