> If hiding something is a way of declaring it a form of power, then hiding the male genitals is a way of declaring masculinity itself a form of power.

This really was the high of the article for me. Exactly what combination would be needed for the author to declare that male clothing is neutral on masculine power?

Genitals exposed -> Aggressive declaration of masculine power. Genitals hidden -> Passive aggressive declaration of masculine power.

I'm going to guess that genitals hinted-at-but-in-a-careful-balanced-way is going to be calculatedly aggressive declaration of male power. The author makes some excellent points about status and clothing, but the throwaway lines on the patriarchy are wonderfully monomaniacal.
