If you don't cinch it up too tightly, it's no more constricting than buttoning the top button on the shirt. Not that wearing one makes any sense, but it's not trying to kill you, either.

Yeah, I rarely do the top button and rarely keep my tie tight. I've got it down to a science to where it looks right, but still loose, because I cannot stand stuff around my neck.

Or, rather, you do stand stuff around your neck with the right motivation.

Money is an excellent motivator.

Oh great so it's only utterly pointless and uncomfortable.

This is my privileged white guy battle that I will fight to my final day. Yes it is low stakes, but it is a battle someone needs to fight. I will never wear a tie, and I will view anyone who does as choosing to uphold one of the biggest systems of oppression I regularly deal with.

Wouldn't the tie keep you a little bit warmer while you're on the cross?
