Look, I have no idea how to create and insert a poll on here, but if I did, it would ask the following:
- When you encounter an inside-out shirt, do you turn it right-side out before donning it, or do you use the act of putting it on to turn it right-side out?
- Follow-up: how would you categorize your gender identity?
I ask because I’m working on a theory, based on Alan’s look of confusion when I started to put on an inside-out shirt last week and reversed it during the act of pulling it over my head.
“Wait!” he cried. “Did you just put that shirt on inside-out?!”
I looked down at it. “No. It’s right-side out now.”
He shook his head, looking baffled. I shrugged and moved on.
But in the days since, I’ve hatched a theory, which is this: Because most women learn to put a bra on upside down and backwards, we have hyper-developed spatial logic skills, making it easy to take a reversed piece of clothing and use the act of putting it on to set it correct.
What do you think? Am I onto something here, or was Alan just sleepy? Or am I stretching too much in my celebration of #girlpower?
Now seriously, please respond to my poll.
Also: someone actually made a how-to video, though I think most ladies will agree with me that his skill-level is pretty basic. Anyone worth her salt knows that if you lead with your arms, the effect is more magical and the head-hole follows automatically. No awkward fumbling to put the arms on later like he does.
