FYI, you are not allowed to wear a headdress anymore

SO DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT

Why, oh why, are you wearing a headdress??? You are vulgar and disrespectful to ALL Native Americans. You have no right to wear it. The headdress is earned by Warriors, NOT worn by women or those who have not earned it. I am sooo tired of others thinking they can just take what is not theirs for a ‘fashion’ statement.

the more you know™

Well that's pretty fucking stupid.

This means I'll have to go to the festival dressed in blackface again this year.

Jesus why do people have to be so politically correct these days. I see headdresses all the time at the big electronic music festivals and never heard a peep from anyone complaining about it.

Why do you care either way?

Sounds sexist to me, women should wear headdresses specifically to protest the male hegemony

Kind of pointless if you don't even know which tribe wears it.

Wonder if in 200 years there will be a controversy over baseball caps, football helmets or the babushka.

'nuff said. I'd like to see some of these folks show up at a Pow Wow and see what kind of reaction they'd get.

 

[Mermaidman]

Bad idea?

Hey, they can go to war just like any man can. Let's take sex out of it then. Go to war, kill X number of people, then you get your headdress. No other requirements.

Let's get with it ladies. You're a mere dozen dead terrorists away from being the belle of the ball. Oh, not interested anymore? That's too bad, what with you being all equal to men and stuff.

Why, oh why, are you wearing a football helmet??? You are vulgar and disrespectful to ALL descendants of New World settlers. You have no right to wear it. The headdress is earned by world-class players, NOT worn by women or those who have not earned it. I am sooo tired of others thinking they can just take what is not theirs for a ‘fashion’ statement.
