Why is it cute and trendy for girls to wear men’s flannel shirts and baggy boy’s sweatpants, but when a boy tries to wear anything remotely close to girl’s clothes, they are considered “girly” or “gay”?

Do you know why?

Do you want to know why?

Because our society thinks its degrading to be feminine.

t’s not “boyfriend” clothes. Clothes do not inherently have gender, they are pieces of fabric and no one cares about your hetero insertions. There was a time when it was normal for young men to wear dresses, clothing was much more gender neutral.

Cute little boys in their boy dresses!

And dresses and skirts look fine on men:

In different cultures around the world different items of clothing are worn that in many countries would be seen as feminine:

And they all look fabulous, like wow!

The only reason you think so now is because you are socialised differently. Which is ok, that happens, but when you assert things as facts and don’t look at any of the culture behind them you looking like an anal fissure.

Do not project your issues onto other men, men can wear whatever the fuck they want and look fabulous as hell.

Girls can wear jeans

And cut their hair short

Wear shirts and boots ‘Cause it’s OK to be a boy

But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading ‘Cause you think that being a girl is degrading…

- Madonna
