I told you I’d return to this issue, and so I have. Here’s a bit of a breakdown about race, gender issues and men who wear dresses for personal fulfillment or alternatively, to be laughed at.
This article came to be after I watched a video clip of Dave Chapelle talking about a time he refused to wear a dress in a movie. He went on to explain that he felt that Hollywood always tried to put strong black men in dresses for amusement value and that it was, on some level, degrading to black men. “They put every black man in the movies in a dress at some point in his career,” Chapelle says.
They should wear a dress , white men have look at the actor that played in Tooties and Mrs Doudtfire with Robin Williams . So put the dress on and shut up !!!!

‘Put the dress on and shut up’? I don’t know about that. That’s as bad, if not worse than saying men can’t wear dresses. It’s not mandatory for men to wear dresses if they don’t want to, and if you read the article I wrote on the subject, you’ll see that the issue runs a great deal deeper.
