Why do we wear neckties?
They're uncomfortable, and they're hard to tie. Do they still serve any practical purpose? Did they ever have a purpose beside being an elitist decoration?
When will the necktie no longer be a common fashion accessory? 50 years? 100 years? 1000?...
It's going to take a long time, I think, but whenever it happens, it should have happened sooner. They're just useless.
For over two thousand years - since at least the Quinn dynasty - the necktie (or cravat) has been the most widely used, and the most multicultural of all phallic symbols.

Most reference books blame the necktie on the French. The tie evolved from the French cravat, a scarf tied around the neck. The French called it a cravat in reference to the Croatians, who wore colorful scarves around their neck in battle. Considering its origin and symbolic meaning, why do we wear ties now?
Ties which both hang flaccidly from the neck to the groin like a penis, and also point to it, are the very symbol of the phallus, which is so envied by other men and women not for its actual qualities, as much as the social meaning attributed to the gender of its owner.
