Fundamentalism, How to describe it

Very interesting. Thank you.It is not professional attire in many professions. But it is professional attire.
I think this type of dress shifted into the professional area in the 1990's with the dot-com boom. But now we see this in professions such as the sciences, education, technogy, engineering, etc.
You made a comment that made me smile because I never thought of it...but I have not seen my doctors wear a suit in decades (they typically wear a nice shirt and kakis), but my surgeon did wear a tie. I suppose the doctors are being more relatable while the surgeon was getting me know he was taking a lot of my money.
But think about it - many people who are in their 30's never lived in a time when jeans and a shirt were not a part of professional attire in fields that have become very popular.
Now doesn't that make you (and me) feel old.
And, obviously, this has been studied . . . Not on rats but on real people.
Do you know the median number of suits owned by Americans? It is 0 (over half don't own a suit).
22% of professionals wear suits to work.
But yes, suits are still associated with wealth (like financial industries) and social status.
Truly weird. But as a kid I was made to wear a wool suit with short pants. Then I grew out of it, right? But I had an older brother and got all of his hand-me-downs.
Very ugly. Men's knees should never be seen in public, much less with a coat and tie.
It depends on who is doing the asking and who is providing the answers. Fundamentalism used to mean exactly what you posted. There are many in broad evangelicalism (like David French and Tim Alberta) who use it as a pejorative.
Ahhhh.....but you haven't seen my knees.
Save your knees for your wife, please.
Sorry for the delay. It was a great break with no internet and a long enough drive to reconsider the importance of a phone call.
It is just that there are so many people who know so little about the country that we live in that they are protesting against the President being king. They are a couple hundred+ years late. That happened in the 1700’s.
I was just saying that there are some people who think the President has seized kingly authority. I find that people who have this view are very misinformed.
It was in reference to the verse saying that there was no king.
