There are people who advocate clotheslines for environmental reasons. They are used often enough that some HOAs ban them.
They share a washer and dryer and many of them have hand washed and line dried cloths their whole lives. Hang drying is also much better for your garments .

This is all news to me. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a clothesline in the US since the sometime in the 1980s.
I just do it because cotton shrinks in the dryer not because I’m some tree hugging libtard

They are making a comeback along with the bush.
How much time have you spent in places where poor people live in non-apartment housing?
As much as you would guess (i.e., nearly zero).
I’d put clothesline usage at 90%+ from what I’ve seen in Australia (among people with houses)
What posts of yours do you think were borderline?
Also. Better than 2 plus 2 is not the level of the bar.

ETA: Full credit to AC/DC for some amazing lyrical gangsterism.
I don’t think you being the creepy upstairs neighbor old guy staring at their underwear on the clothesline and getting aroused by it makes you any less creepy than living in the same house. If anything I’d say more creepy but less threatening.
Yup I even tried to give an example of how a man might comment on attractive women being around (hopefully) without making women uncomfortable or being a pervert. Of course, it required respecting women and valuing them for more than their bodies and undergarments so I can see why @MikeLikesOrgies might struggle with that.
it’s a song lyric. meh.
As for @MikeLikesOrgies, I said at the start of this thread, dealing with shit like this takes considerable mental energy when I’d rather be playing a video game or watching Hamilton for the 4th time. If Mike isn’t listening to guys on here, he sure as hell isn’t going to listen to the feedback of an actual, RL woman (though not one nearly young enough for his preferred fantasy).
Those girls think you’re skeevy, dude. Doubly so if they found out you were perving on their lingerie on the clothesline. It’s just creepy.
Maybe you could try, you know, talking to them. Of course, that would mean you’d actually get to know them as people and it would make it a lot harder to objectify them, amirite? See, once you actually get to know them, you might actually see that ogling them or their underwear is kind of weird and gross.

Does it offend you when other people use their free speech?
You are a clown. You literally add to your fantasy w every post u make. U are sexy shaming. U immediately look away when u see a girls thong hanging from a line?
I couldn’t have done too bad, I married one of their best friends . Your speculation is nauseating.
My read: Cuse is awkward around women. He has zero confidence. He thinks crusading on a forum on their behalf, fighting the good fight , will find him a mate. When there is little or nothing to crusade about he picks a battle. When the battle ends in an apology, he climbs down off his high horse, He then gets bored and lonely again. No female has reached out and thanked him for his war effort .
Weeks later he climbs back up on his high horse . Let’s attack a guy who misses the occasional glance at hotties bras and panties on a cloth line . Then let’s juice it up by making up fukkin clown “ reads” and hoping people think this is part of the story. I’m not the problem u don’t get laid.

It obviously offends others when I use mine. No it doesn’t. I just get confused wen I specifically direct a ? to one person and somebody else feels like they are in his head and offers me his “ read “ lol for him.
Again, another disgusting, uninvited embellishment. I’m sorry for u.
I don’t see a problem with that one, unless there’s a part of the reference I’m not understanding. It being a line in a song also helps in my view.
Like I think if I posted “I like big butts and I cannot lie,” in response to something the reaction would be quite a bit different than if I said, “I love staring at girls with big asses.”
The first is a reference to a well known song lyric, which I’m guessing would be way less offensive than something I just blurted out on my own that objectified women. That said, the song obviously objectifies women too, so maybe the difference isn’t as significant as I think.
But step one is just putting some thought into it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either gender appreciating the appearance and sexuality of the other gender (or the same one). The problem is doing it in ways that make people uncomfortable or in only valuing the objects of our romantic and sexual desires for their appearance and nothing more. That’s also pretty much a one way street, men don’t suffer from that fate.

Mike,
Do you say the same exact stuff around a group of guys as you would a mixed-gender group? Especially if you don’t know the people well?
I’m guessing you don’t.
Stop acting like UP is a locker room. I don’t give a fuck if you look at girl’s underwear on a clothesline. But posting locker room shit like that makes this a less welcoming place, reinforces other men thinking this is the culture here, and so on.
Someday you might get to where you change the stuff you say in just-guys “locker room” situations, too. My friends and I did. It was an adjustment but it can change the way you think about women. It changes your attitude and the culture of the people around you.
