"10 tragic moments in pants"

Salon.com just had a feature in Broadsheet, "10 tragic moments in pants", a venomous attack on any sort of non-normative cut of pants. Very unscientific. More later...

Eldridge Cleaver's Penis Pants

The black activist and author behind Soul on Ice put the royalties towards developing Eldridge Cleaver Ltd., which aspired to create pants more sympathetic to the male form:

"We've been castrated in clothing, and my pants open up new vistas. I'm against penis binding. Mean wear their penis either down the right pants leg or the left. Now, if you cut away a piece of the material on wither side you'll see that the penis is strapped to the leg. Pants were orignially designed to corral the penis." Eldridge Cleaver, from Jet Magazine, 1978.
