It's a name. People need to look inside themselves a little more and not so much at the label or naming conventions our there on a pair of jeans!?!!? Are you kidding me!?? And since when is "Jewess" anything like a non-racial, non-religious label like "boyfriend"? Check out the dictionary maybe. If you wanted to be so politically correct and not misleading, why would you want to encourage anything racial/religious on a pair of pants?!?!?!!? Someone with tremendous pride in their Jewish heritage might be hugely offended. Your argument holds no water, dear blogger.

Boyfriend jeans are just that: like the pants you'd borrow from a boyfriend (yours, mine, or anyone else's). It refers to the cut (relative to the product) and something in reference to man pants (relative to the product). The HINT there: manly, man-ish pants. Man pants but "boyfriend jeans" sounds so much nicer than "hey, you want to buy these 'man pants'?" don't you think? As for the people defining themselves by pants labels, maybe if WE would all work towards respecting ourselves and others a little more and took it all a little more seriously, the offensive names on labels ("boyfriend" ain't one of them), the images on tv, and anorexia defining our "ideal" wouldn't bug us so much BRCAUSE they would go the way of the dinosaur as they should. They would be extinct because it just wouldn't wash with us, it just wouldn't be accepted. Blogging about it. NO ONE CARES. I found this blog because I was Googling trying to find MORE INFO about the boyfriend jeans I like so much. ::rolling my eyes::
