That's not really the same thing. I don't expect that any guy is going to walk around generally wearing a corset, especially a rainbow-colored one that is as revealing as a Dinka corset. A big problem with this argument about unintentional conformance is that there are a lot of rather narrow social rules than mandate conformance and thus limit the range of expression people actually have. So, rather than the problem being that everyone becomes so eclectic that everyone ends up looking roughly the same, it's more of a matter of people choosing various fashions that are considered "appropriate but quirky". That's not the same thing as true anticonformance.
There are things that aren't even as popular as bare butt male corsets that people can wear if they want to be different.
For instance... You don't see any "hipsters" wearing Dinka men's corsets, do you?
Don one of those and I guarantee you'll not look like anyone else in North America in terms of dress, at least outside of the home.

"And if I really want to make sure I'm having a private conversation or something, I'll go outside."
Apparently, she has never heard of the mockingjay.
Two flaws:
1. Marriage is already civil. There is no litmus test for eligibility based in religion. A Buddhist can marry a Muslim at a courthouse and no one cares.
2. The scorched earth policy (destroy an institution rather than extend is to gays) is absurd, albeit popular. It's what my university did to prevent the partners of gay employees from being listed in the directory. The university stopped listing the spouses of hetero employees.
Marriage is the recognition of the pair bond. It is designed to reinforce its strength by making it socially recognized.
Polygamy and other forms of relationship are NOT relevant. That isn't saying the debate over whether or not other relationships should have some sort of legal recognition shouldn't be had. But, it's a straw man here, period.
There are two pair bonds and two marriages: Same-sex and opposite sex. There is no rational justification for making one legal and the other not.
The end.
Society revolves around money. To understand politics, there is one mantra "follow the money". This includes the politics of religious entities like the Vatican.
Hello. Marriage is civil already. No one asks a couple what religion they are and saying a Buddhist can't marry a Muslim at a courthouse.
There is nothing to "solve" other than the illogical arguments made by the anti-marriage crowd.
Features past their prime that Apple killed?
Protected memory.
Hard disk capability.
Cooperative multitasking.
An Office suite.
Upgradable RAM.
Built-in screensaver.
Scientific calculator with tape and RPN.
Expansion slots.
An efficient screen size.
Block sparing.
Redundant storage of critical system files.
Automatic bypassing of faulty RAM.
Document-centric UI.
Oh yeah, Apple really showed the world that buyers want the total system freezes the Mac OS had to offer for 18 years, 18 years after it introduced a system to the market that had protected memory.
Jobs is a genius!
Nothing like the "revolutionary" OS X to give Mac users high-tech features like protected memory and non-hacked multitasking. Apple really took it to Microsoft by leaving Lisa Office in the dust.
But, Jobs' creative genius was shown when he used bait and switch to create immense buzz for the Mac. (He used a 512k model to demo the non-upgradable 128k so it could do speech synthesis.)
What does this have to do with the iPhone? Not a lot. But, since I wasted so much time of my life writing a post for an "archived" discussion I decided to post it here. Don't like it? Tough titty.
The theory from some is that this averaging resulted in an illusory correlation between average and beautiful due to the fact that the averaging process improved the appearance/smoothness of skin. People apparently really really like good skin.
Over 10,000 sports clips were removed. Nearly everything for Martina Navratilova disappeared, for instance. Sports-themed clips also disappeared, even though they don't have any actual sports in them, like the Chris DeBoy gay sports clips.

This is not true anticonformancy. If you want to truly look different from most people it's not that difficult.
"I'm liberal. My best friend is conservative. When we listen to each other, really listen: Then you're actually moderates wearing different labels.
Fascinating. Let's end something that doesn't exist in the first place.

The Trail of Tears was loads of fun. So were the camps for American citizens of the wrong racial group.

Tolerance is a level of homophobic prejudice, according to the Homophobia Scale by Dr. Dorothy Riddle. http://allies.tamu.edu/resources/riddle.htm

Put an attack on? Smear? Since when is the truth a smear or an attack? The bottom line is that supporting Prop 8 is an attack on gays.
In other words, "homosexuality is irrelevant". Yes, heard that one before, in innumerable forms.

Ouch
