Rejecting pants is such a low threshold entry to being counter-cultural. If you can't reject pants, how can you reject worse things? If nothing else it's an extremely reliable litmus test for worldliness (whether a woman will reject pants or not). Sorry Justinian.
There's better arguments to be made against pants, I get where you're coming from but couldn't you say this about anything? "If you as a man can't be counter cultural enough to reject Crocs, how can you reject worse things?
I'm not opposed to pants in themsleves if they're quite loose or necessary (like work pants) but it's just you walk around anywhere and it's like hey lady can you get your entire ass outta my face.
