Benedict just ruined this whole thread. This thread is no longer orgasmic.
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
But it's perfect because she just proved the author's point!
Everyone has her own preferences and is attracted to different kinds of guys, modes of dress, hairstyles, etc. So the onus is not on the wearer of said clothes to avoid "tempting" someone because how the hell can we be responsible for everyone?
For all I know, there is some guy who sees me walking down the street in a dress, notices my orthopedic shoes and cankles, and says, "Damn, I need some of that."

Okay, I have to ask: it's 2014, and not a one of these pictures are old stills of Marlon Brando or Montgomery Clift or their ilk. So... why are so many of these men smoking cigarettes in the pictures? And by "so many," I mean "more than just an errant shot of Johnny Depp."

Smokers are people too and there are a lot more of them than Americans seem to think.
ETA: I mean, the US has one of the lowest percentages of adults who smoke in the world and it's still one in five.

I'm not saying that no one smokes at all - I'm saying that the culture has shifted to it not being socially acceptable to do anywhere any more. It's not ubiquitous like it used to be, and IMO it's weird that it's being photographed glamorously like this. I feel like I'm in Hot Tub Time Machine or something.

Eh, the photos from ads weren't necessarily in American publications and a couple of them look like they just caught having a smoke break.

Great movie.
And, cuz rules is rules:
Speaking of multiple sets of twins, have we talked about the fact that he and his wife now have two sets under five?
