I was at work today talking with some coworkers and one guy crossed his leg at the knee. I would have felt weird taking a random picture of him, but I thought of this blog and wanted to mention. (I work at a pretty masculine bike shop, too, fyi)
That is a beautiful story.
About Just as Legitimate as Any Other Leg Configuration
So, because I believe tumblr blogs can solve all ills, this tumblr is intended to serve as a collection of pictures of men - famous or not - sitting with legs crossed at the knee.
I fully realize that, of all the gender limitations, this is neither the most prominent nor the most dramatically harmful. But it bothers me and I just like being externally validated.
