    After reading the article, I came away with the opinion that we should be doing away with all of the pageantry of holiday gatherings, and focus instead on the connections we’re tying to maintain.

    But that’s really the thrust of the article, isn’t it? The fact that so many men seem to not care about the appearance and presentation is the problem in their eyes.

    E. Edited for clarity.

      I would much rather support women liberating themselves from the pressure of all the pageantry and appearance than having to do all the pageantry and appearance stuff.

      that said, some people just like that stuff, and not from external pressure afaict. It’s a weird dynamic in a lot of ways
