Replies to '01/28 The Baggy Pants Debate'

Just chill. I am a white female too but I dont complain. The pants are just guys fashion. How is any different then when girls walk down the street with their boobs hanging out and their thoungs around their belly buttions. I think this is blowing it out of perportion. We should be focused on issues that really need to be focused on. The rase doesnt matter cause my mexicans and blacks and whites all doing this. I just dont look if it is something i dont like. I will just look away or ignore it. Tallerence. We should handle this calmly and in a good way.

Hi All,

 

I just joined. I am from Nevada. I am only reporting what I was told by an assistant warden of one of the penitentiaries. He cured his own boys of wearing baggy pants at the hips, by telling them the style started showing up in prisons, to show availability for male to male sex. This was by flaunting the backside and underwear with hip level baggy pants. Some men who were termed "bitches" were made to wear them low like that to show they may have "belonged" to someone else or were willing to be "receivers." He said it started way back, maybe in the early eighties. My argument is there are no belts allowed in prison, but you can buy pants out of jail that aren't four sizes too big so they hang that low! It may have just turned into mainly a "prison chic" after some time then moved on to "street chic," I will say that. So this tale of origin may cure men of wanting to carry on that "look."
