    How many other social animals wear adornments of any kind?

    None of them. Who’s trying to hand-wave clothing by saying that humans are social animals? I don’t understand where you’re going with this.

    You can live your life of bodily purity but don’t pretend like your way is more sane or natural.

    Don’t strawman me. I don’t give a shit what people do to their bodies. I said it doesn’t make sense from a purely biological perspective, which is accurate. Either engage with what I actually said and stop extrapolating or fuck off.

      Which is wrong because social behavior is part of our biology. The specifics differ but the impulses are as much a part of our genetics as habing thumbs is.
