the hazards of stealth underdressing

[phylis anne]

well it was my day off so I jumped into panties and some girl jeans (which I told the daughter I got off the goodwill rack by mistake) went out for my usual coffee retuned home and was mysteriously pulled into the kitchen by an unseen tractor beam and immediately started spring cleaning the kitchen :eek: ,after I finnished I had a dirty outside job to do so changed back to drabbies and never made it outside seems the chair and a beer was more interesting go figure :D moral to the story? stay outa the kitchen when dressed girly no matter how minor lol

Are you saying that your underwear made you clean? That's some might powerful underwear. If that was true, wives all over the world would be buying panties for their husbands!

[phylis anne]

Hi Jeenifer ,
No I don't think they made me clean but I found it humorous that when i was wearing them I somehow found the motivation and after changing the motivation disaapeared , I like your theory better though it would be an interesting world if g/g's could have their way with us simply by plying their ways with us ,but that would also remove a major hurdle most of us face ---- the dreaded coming out ,there no longer would be a need to ! interesting thought we husbands would all be chomping at the bit as it were,damn the chores full dress ahead !

Sounds like too much paranormal activity for me.

I do know that there is food in the kitchen and dirt and hard work outside. :-)

[ReineD]

OK so I'll be a party pooper and suggest that you realign your belief system to understand that both men and women can appreciate clean surroundings. :)

And if it's worth anything, I wear panties and girl jeans every day. Although I clean the kitchen when I need to, wearing these things doesn't make me want to clean it all the time. Also, I wear panties and girl jeans even when I do "guy things" (tongue-in-cheek), like making minor repairs and renovations around the house. :p

Yep. I don't really like to use the term, but talking about cleaning when dressed as a woman is pretty "sexist".

Most of us who are still living have abandoned the rigid male and female roles as to which is supposed to do what. We do what we are skilled at and what we have time for. If the wife works full time and the husband doesn't, it would be expected that the husband do much of what used to be called "woman's work".

There's nothing wrong with doing housework while cross dressed as long as you're not thinking of it as "woman's work". And if you're dressing in a skirt and heels to do housework, you really need to examine your thinking.

[JennykBailey]

A lot of us don't get the opportunity to dress up as female openly very often. So when we can, doing ordinary things such as housework, cooking, gardening it can seem more exciting, even if we do these jobs anyway in our male garb on a day to day basis. I'm sure washing the car, putting up a shelf, or fixing a tap would have the same effect. I don't think it's enforcing gender stereotypes, but rather enjoying, and embracing the brief moments where we can express ourselves how we wish to.

[phylis anne]

pretty serious replies here for a humorous post , I clean no matter how i am dressed as I caretake my wife so the task must be done wether for one or both of us I was merely giggling at the fact that I was cleaning while somewhat dressed and after undressing had no further desire to but as I replied to jennifer at home it would be a heck of a sysytem if that is all our wives had to do to get us to help was bribe us with some frillies not unlike what we have done with our kids as in if you clean up the garden for me I will pay you this much ,or buy this thing you really want .Sexist hardly as I am from a generation who being older also knows that all on board so to say pull their weight as an only child I can also relate to the fact that my mom wanted me to be prepared in the world so at an early age i was taught "domestic" skills that were normally reserved for the fairer sex as it were , I leaned to do laundry ,cooking and house keeping which all paid it's own dividend when out on my own.Please do not take my reluctance to clean as a gender based attitude , as after a long day at work ,I still have annother day at home making sure the wife has al her needs met and by then I realize the deep spring clean the place needs will be done one day at a time on my days off this way it will look like the proper effort gas been put into it instead of the hit and a lick that goes into a task when you are running out of steam for the day

I know exactly what your saying, beware the laundry room also.

[reb.femme]

Why do we have to have cold water poured on posts that are clearly intended to be light-hearted? Reine hit it well (an expected GG reply) with tongue in cheek and Jennifer's was similar in intent. If you look hard enough, you can see an 'ism' in many a casual conversation, where no offence was ever intended. So why look so hard for it?

Can't say I like cleaning with my best stuff on, but my girl jog bottoms and top have a sweeter cut and lighter feel than my man garb, when hoovering, dusting and cleaning. My belief system was realigned many years back, when I joined the forces and me and wifey became a team of home builders.

well now I did not mean to make my last reply look like I took offense , just thought I would clear the air on where I come from too was not sure about reinneD's reply but Jennifers at home was spot on for her humor hmmm now wonder what chore I could trade for that nicelooking top I saw this morning :D to all others if I seem to serious just do like the mods do chase me with a rolled up newspaper
hugs to all phylis anne

[Nadine Robles]

Nope. Did not work for me. Still the same lazy ass no matter beneath which undies

[Judy-Somthing]

If girly clothes makes a guy clean the house, don't let your wife's know or they'll be dressing us up in girly things.

Yep. I don't really like to use the term, but talking about cleaning when dressed as a woman is pretty "sexist".
And yet, once upon a time, women were proud of having an immaculate home. Men, not so much. And I really don't see that as having changed all that much. And no, I don't follow the politically correct leanings of not saying unpopular things. I grew up watching Donna Reed, Leave it to Beaver, Father knows best, and yes, I also watched My Three sons, so there were bub and uncle Charley doing the domestic chores too. But women 'nest' and men don't. Ignore that if you want. Doesn't change it. Men don't define themselves by how their homes are decorated. Our cars, yes. The idea that men and women are exactly the same simply doesn't wash. Whether anyone wants to face it or not, for most couples there are some things that are still primarily associated with being done by one sex or the other. Try the reverse. How many wives go up on the roof to fix loose shingles? Point up the chimney so the bricks won't fall apart? Clean gutters? Dig up the front of the lawn to access and replace the broken drain pipe? Change the oil and or repair the cars? Clean out the furnace? Break up old cracked sidewalk, mix and put in new cement? Climb up into the tree and cut down branches? How many women know how to sweat pipe joints? Do electrical wiring? Basic carpentry? Sure, a few women might, but in general, if you drive around a neighborhood, you're going to find men doing these things 99% of the time. And funny, nobody seems to think it's sexist that we continue to do all these things. So you're going to have to deal with those of us who've spent a lifetime doing 'mens' work' who tend to associate indoor domestic work with women.

I didn't see any sexism in the original post.
Of course some search for it, why I don't know.

[phylis anne]

sometimes- miss ,yes I am old enough to rememeber those old shows ,the joke among us boys at school was where june cleave queried of ward "you were a little hard on the beaver last night" and of course the mickey mouse club hmm better not go there (annette) what a figure she had .

WOW So today, I was cleaning house in my girl clothes and wearing panties and bra under my cute jeans and top. I was drawn to getting the various choirs done. Tomorrow I'm going out to work in the garden. Run to the local hardware store to pick up some potting soil in one of my cute tops and jeans and and ask one of the guys to put it in the back of my car. Fix dinner and relax with my wife.

[mikayla1964]

I saw nothing wrong either but I can say I find that I don't mind doing house chores near as much if i'm dressed up ..

[Tracii G]

If I'm in 100% girl mode I want to go out not clean house LOL

[docrobbysherry]

U didn't know, Phylis. But, I've been around cd.com a LONG TIME! :heehee:

And, I can't tell u the number of posts I've read from girls who claim wearing a maid's outfit inspires them to clean the house!:straightface:

And similarly, those from "straight guys" who suddenly turn gay/bi when dressed!:eek:

Like a number of folks have already posted: As if changing your clothes could actually do that-------:brolleyes:

[phylis anne]

Thanks Doc Robby Sherry,
well I have certainly opened a can of worms with this thread------ someone at work once said"they who stir the pot should have to lick the spoon !) so anyone got a bib I can borrow :D

Because making jokes about this perpetuates and reinforces the idea that cleaning kitchens is women's work, which is a notion that I disagree with and have fought hard throughout my life to dispel.

I was not aggressive or insulting in my response. I stated my opinion in a light-hearted way and even included a few smilies, but it still is important for me to point out sexism when I see it ...

... just as it is no doubt important for you to point out transphobia when you see it, even if it is hidden behind a harmless joke.
