Ok, I was wondering for people's thoughts on this, since it's crossed my mind. We've all known that girls being very "boy-ish" has been considered alright but the converse has been never strongly accepted in any way, shape or form.
And, I really wonder why?
Is it because it's somewhat of a man's world, and anything embracing that is looked highly upon?
Is it because feminism has made such headway that basically anything goes since such individuality has become a cornerstone for women in society?
Is it because we haven't had a substantial amount of people in mainstream society who have taken a stand to make it considered "not such a big deal?"
Or, is it something more?
It just sort of blows my mind that (as a simple example) a girl like, say, Samantha Ronson, effectively dresses like a skinny transman every single day without someone batting an eye, but if a man even wears a lavender shirt (entirely male clothing, still), people are bent over backwards, wondering what the hell is wrong with that person.
It's almost like the more free gender roles are for GGs, the less free they are for GMs.
So, anyway let's make sure to keep this intellectual. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this, from every corner of this forum.
