If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck?

If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckti

Summary

This quote questions the logic behind men's mandatory attire of wearing neckties. It implies that if men are capable of running the world, they should also be capable of abandoning this seemingly unnecessary and uncomfortable accessory. The reference to a "noose" suggests that wearing a necktie is impractical and suggests a lack of intelligence by starting the day in such a constrictive manner. Overall, the quote humorously challenges societal norms and prompts a reflection on the practicality and purpose of certain customs.
