Guess life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (plus many other things) are off the menu. :(

The world owes everyone a pen and a yellow legal pad?  That's odd.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

A: robes don't go to the floor so your shoes are still visible; and

B: Mrs B is self-conscious that she's taller than me by 2 inches.  I don't think I've ever seen her wear more than a slight wedge.

:(

Then you definitely need to start wearing heels!

The Louis XIV look. High heels and a wig are manly!

Did people consider Louis manly? :unsure:

There's 18 of them, you have to be more precise.  :P

Louis XIV, yes, he had many mistresses.  XV and XVI too.  Not sure about how was perceived XIII (rumours of homosexuality, so I'm not sure how that was viewed precisely) or any of the other 12 ones before that.  XVII was too young and I don't know much about #18.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Yup.

Dudes peacocking with long hair, heels, and jewelry can seem either masculine or feminine depending on context and culture - like how heavy metal rockers can take on the look of "hair" bands and still think of themselves as solidly masculine.

No question Louis xiv though of himself (and was thought by others) as being "manly".

Being the absolute ruler of one of the most powerful nations in the world at the time would also tend to make people think he was manly.

What does the propaganda consist of? LGBT people trying to live their lives?

Gotta ask my sister. (This is from the one who usually posts "I'm an LGBT ally!" stuff, with two gays sons, and one trans son.)

I can see how it would be hard to avoid the LGBT Propaganda in that situation.

Crazy, ultra religious, anti-gay Republicans tend to overwhelmingly have LGBT sons & daughters. 

Or, they just wear women lingerie themselves while participating in coke fueled orgies, apparently.

It's the new "gays are evil so please man suck my cock in the airport's bathroom" thing.
