A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

You need better fitting dresses and skirts then. Are you only wearing tight/form fitting dresses? Of pencil skirts? These are terrible indeed.

Nice, flowy dresses? Pure bliss! I hate wearing pants in the summer, it's way too hot.

No, they're all just uncomfortable. Flowy dresses aren't any better than non-flowy, but tight dresses feel better than the loose ones, which just feels like nightgowns (which I don't like either). All of your skin sticks together unless you're wearing hose or something underneath and there's nothing worse than dealing with hose.

Different people are different. Not everyone likes the same things. This notion that skirts and dresses are universally comfortable isn't any more correct than saying everyone wants to wear pants all of the time.

Nah they all suck and are uncomfortable. Form fitting clothing sucks in general, but flowy dresses are still uncomfortable because you have to be careful of how you move unless you want everyone accidentally seeing your bits or your ass. Also still got the problem of the fabric bunching up getting in the way. And they still look terrible on anyone whos not rail thin.
