If you look at old traditional neck ties they basically were scarves, but
then poor folks started keeping silverware in them, and probably anything
that could be pilfered too... So Personally it's my viewpoint that the
hanging version of the necktie we see today got it's form from necessity...
Now,  of coarse your hard core separatist feminists with naturally call it a
phallic symbol etc.. etc... But remember, back then a sore throat often
meant fatal illness, so you needed to keep your neck and face warm etc...
These poor folks did not have C.S. !!!

Alexander
