So I shared a meme on Facebook about a dude who was wearing a vest in a family picture and the caption was something funny like "My wife wanted me to wear a vest but I'm not a vest guy so we compromised and I wore a vest." Some people got up in arms saying that it is emotionally abusive to want your partner to wear something specific. OMG let's even say this was real and not a joke... well, unless she had a gun to his head, it's not abusive to ask your adult partner to do something for you INCLUDING dress in a way you think is attractive.  All the dudes saying vest guy has no boundaries definitely wish they could ask their wives to wear sexy lingerie, I'm guessing!  Well, if you don't wear a vest when she wants, you are not going to get her to wear crotchless underwear when you want.  Holy shit this is a short sighted, self-indulgent way to view romantic relationships, and dovetails well with my Cult of Boundaries podcast as well as my request from my Facebook group to talk more about kinky sex.  And if you love to hear me rant about societal mores, this episode will be a delight!  Note that if you want to hear me talk about ACTUAL abuse, wait till the end.
