I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

Sorry you’re being forced to wear something you’re not comfortable in!
Men’s clothing is so limited in style options, especially in the US. It feels like there’s enormous pressure not to look “girly”. Even stuff that used to be normal for guys, like heels and hose, are unacceptably genderbending now. One of my favorite things about being a woman is feeling (relatively) free to dress how I want.
To some of us, that’s a feature, not a bug.
If I had it my way we would all wear coveralls whose color and stripes would say everything people need to know about us.
Oh hello Roger (name tag), father of 3 (orange bands on left arm), architect (symbol on right front pocket),…
I mean, I’m kind of hoping for a Star Trek DS9 jumpsuit uniform future, personally.
I don’t hate looking like a background character/NPC, but having the options for those that do mind would be great imo.
I join my wife for mani pedis and always ask for color. I get so many weird looks. It’s really sad that some color worn in the wrong place is unacceptable genderbending. Good thing I simply don’t give a shit.
It does suck, and hopefully it’s one of those things that continues to relax. Nail polish of any color automatically makes guys cuter, imo. Anyway, who doesn’t want a little novelty
Eyeliner too. Anyone who’s seen Jason Momoa in game of thrones knows that shit is masculine as hell.
Oh, how could I possibly forget eyeliner. Practically every lead singer of every band rocks it to fantastic effect. Likely a good number of male actors on set. Tim Minchin has some great eye makeup in general, electrocuted squirrel that he is. Why does this only have to be a famous person thing?
That’s kind of why I like women’s clothes. Men’s clothes are so boring and drab most of the time, but women’s are so vibrant and have cute/fun patterns.
Forced is a strong word.
You don’t feel obliged to comply with particular female stereotypes? Dressing in a particular way?
Not really! I could wear blue jeans and a mens t-shirt and not have to worry about negative reactions. Women’s suits are really common, especially in professional settings. There’s not much I’d be afraid to wear in public. Worst case scenario people would think I’m depressed or sick, I guess.
Yeh. But if you wore budgie smugglers at the beach, you may catch some glimpses. Or be arrested.
Stand by - running to look up budgie smugglers…
Here’s our ex prime minister, smuggling a budgie.
Ok. Thank you. Not a look that works for everyone. Apparently there’s an Australian swimwear company with that name. Funny how their womens suits are pretty modest and the men’s suits just kind of put it all out there.
I’ve seen some pretty immodest women’s swimwear haha.
Yeah. I’m pretty agreeable to people wearing what they want, but i was a little surprised by mid-day streetwear in Miami.
Too many budgies, not enough smugglers. Bound to get caught.
😅😅
