You do realize that this has nothing to do with thinking being a woman is shameful right? Since they dont think women dressing like women is shameful.
It has to do about "gender construct" and gender roles or however you want to call it, as in : men and women have ways they can dress, and ones clothes dont do well on the other role.
As much as I agree that anyone should wear whatever the fuck they want this has NOTHING to do with thinking being a woman is shamefull, or even that men are better than women, just than men and women are DIFFERENT and with that difference comes some "role" and one cannot do what is meant for the other.
Poopun I agree with everything you said except I think they can do what's meant for the other. Today people should be able to be in a role they are happy with, maybe gender role shouldn't be a thing to begin with.
I didn't say I believed in gender role, I said that people who believe its shameful to dress as a woman find it so BECAUSE of gender role, and not because being a woman is shameful.
The pros and cons of gender roles is a whole other debate.
But people tend to believe a woman can dress like man (eg, pants, especially not those in a 'girly' fit our color) whereas very few accept a man in a dress.
All that I have to say is... When there's an episode of the X files with some shooting action, they both wear pants. I like my freaking legs separated, I like being able to kneel down and point gun at a mutant the way agent Mulder does, why would I have to be restrained like mermaid in any way. I wear stretchy skirts and I don't worry my genitalia will show when I kneel (for various reasons)not that I m ashamed. I don't even wear those winter gloves with fingers fit together. I am a man.
Well shit I guess I'll go to school tomorrow dressed like a cowboy or an astronaut. Oh wait that would be stupid because I'm NEITHER of those things. You know what else I'm not? A fucking woman.
