Ever wondered why it is that women can wear whatever they want, but if a man so much as slips a stiletto on, entire cities grind to a halt? I answer this question, with science.
Why It’s A Big Deal When Men Wear Women’s Clothes In Public
Three Shocking Female Fashions For Men
Fashion has always been differentiated along gender lines. We like males to appear to be males and females to appear to be females because it takes a great deal of thought out of social interaction. In the past, especially in recent history (think 1950′s) it was very obivious what was male attire and what was female attire. With women’s lib, the lines blurred for women, they started to wear pants and jackets, they started cutting their hair short, and nowadays it is not uncommon for people to take a double take to see if a woman is indeed a woman.
Male fashion has not been so liberated thus far, but there are signs of some equality beginnning to come into play. Check out these three predictions of so called ‘female’ fashions which are making their way, slowly but surely, into the realm of men’s fashion.
Glamorous Wolford Stockings For Men
Stockings are not lingerie essentials, they are the explicit domain of the lingerie lover. Carefully woven from the finest materials, stockings caress the wearer’s leg with every step, inviting them into a world of subtle passion where senses are heightened, the line between masculine and feminine blurs and the true nature of the human beast is let out to play.
Men In Lingerie, How Far Do You Go?
So here’s an interesting question. How far do you men in lingerie go? Is it a matter of slipping on a pair of panties and that’s all? Or have the panties lead to stockings, bras and other types of lingerie? Has your lingerie been a gateway into a who world of women’s attire? Having sampled the joys of a chemise, do you long to slip into a slinky dress?
Men Wear Lingerie, Jesus Wore A Dress
(This most excellent title was inspired by reader GoneNylon after I wrote this article about Frilly Dresses For Men.)
Jesus wore a dress. Yes he did. I have plenty of referential artwork to prove it. Jesus was also apparently very European in appearance and had a well trimmed beard, not to mention slightly wavy hair.
Yes, it is a somewhat provocactive peice combining cross dressing and religion. That’s how I roll.
How To Have Fun Wearing Women’s Clothing
This picture is really a case of ’nuff said. As demonstrated not just this picture, but by the group of about ten young men we came across wandering around town in schoolgirl dresses the other evening (true story), we (society at large) accept men who wear women’s clothing as long as it is for comical effect.
It’s not an ideal solution, but it is a starting point. If you happen to be a man who steps out in women’s clothing, how about putting a little element of fun into it next time you go out? A smile on your face often equates to smiles on the faces of those around you.
‘He Wears Panties’ Would Be Uneccesary In Japan…
Nice to know that there’s at least one corner (or subway station) of the world where men wear whatever the hell they like…
To The Man In The Skirt In The Supermarket…
You were coming out of the supermarket as we walked in. Resplendent in skirt, high heels and blouse, pushing your shopping cart out into the parking lot with bowed shoulders and a shuffling gait.
I’m sure you got many strange looks on your trip out today. I am sure you even got some cruel comments, but I hope you know how brave you are. I hope you know how your courage gives others courage. I hope you know that though you are no doubt ostracised in many ways by those who do not understand and by those who fear what it is you represent.
You may not know this, but you are one of the leaders of a revolution whose time has yet to come. On this trip you avoided the gazes of those around you, and for that I cannot blame you, but please, next time you step out, hold your head high. You are magnificent.
Being Happy Being Someone Else (Why Men Dress Like Women)
This is a thoughtful piece about why some men enjoy creating female alter egos for themselves. Is it wrong or weird that ‘Jim’ wants to be ‘Jenny’ sometimes?
“It’s a strange aspect of the human condition that happiness always seems to exist outside the sphere of what and who we are. For some people, this search for external happiness manifests as a desire to be someone else entirely. It’s not enough to be just an average human being living an average life, so some people go so far as to create alter egos which satisfy their desire to be that which they are not.”
