buy meant
Wear your clothes with abandon, I say; don't keep them pristine as if for museums: They are meant to wear out. Then you get to buy new ones.
clique function means outside
Universities can teach maturity. They can teach teenagers how to be adults, and that means to function outside a clique or a tribe.
meant offensive songs
Frosh-week songs are meant to be offensive because offensive is rebellious.
indeed mean privilege
I am indeed completely nuts, but that doesn't mean I don't care about how I look. Sometimes, I admit, I will privilege appearance over comfort.
adult age category entirely group looking readers seems ya
The YA category is an entirely new one, and seems to have more to do with readability than with age group or theme. The adult YA readers I know do actually consistently say that they are looking for an easy read, a fun read, an unchallenging read.
conflict fashion forget involves knowledge style
Fashion has always been in conflict with convention. Style involves some knowledge of both. But you can pretty much forget these seasonal injunctions.
freedom
There's a freedom being in the air. It's a lot of fun.
believe timeless wearing
Sadly, I don't really believe in the idea of timeless fashion. It's an oxymoron. If 'classic fashion' really never changed, we'd all still be wearing togas.
generally men moved
Even in early adulthood, men can't be told what to wear; they can only be subtly moved by example, encouragement, and a generally sophisticated atmosphere.
carefully vulnerable
We are still vulnerable to gender-targeted marketing no matter how carefully we edit our children's bookshelves.
serious sure surprise
I wasn't sure he was serious about it. But it really shouldn't surprise us.
beyond cars clothes content critics division domain girls guns presented quite roles telling themselves women worried
Most critics of gender division are women, and they're worried about girls and the roles presented for them by gendered entertainments. They are quite right to be. Telling girls that the cars and the guns are beyond their domain of expertise, and that they should content themselves with clothes and friendships, is limiting.
men
Most men are petrified of standing out in any way or being thought superficial.
fought management
We fought with management. They just didn't know what they were doing.
