Who decided what kind of clothes women and men would wear? Even back in biblical days when the controversial scripture was written about a man wearing women's clothes, men and women both wore robes that looked a lot alike to me. If it is wrong for men and women to crossdress then a lot of women are in trouble since they wear pants all the time. I have always envied women and girls because they get to wear cute and pretty clothes. Look at the baggy pants and shorts that guys wear today!! Who came up with that? What's the point of wearing shorts if they go to the middle of your shins? You can't even buy men's shorts that are shorter. Fortunately for me it doesn't bother me to buy and wear women's shorts so I can get them in the shorter lengths that I like to wear. Guys can't be considered pretty or cute beyond about six years old. They have to begin being MACHO. I thing I am still cute and I love to wear girl's clothes. I have finally gotten to the point in my life where I still don't go out near home but when I go out of town I don't care who sees me or reads me. I love wearing women's shirts and shorts when I am in drab and no one seems to mind in the least. For the most part you find that only your "friends" and family are judgemental, most other people could care less. I am fortunate in that I am 5'2" tall and weigh130 lbs. I keep my body competely shaved except for my arms and I love it. I know I am rambling but I wanted to get this off my chest. What do you think about the clothes thing?

Rikidee,

I completely agree!! I was travelling this week and found a super nice pink womens twin set (I think that's what they are called) and felt sooo good in it with a pair of ladies kahki shorts. I want to wear them home (on the plane) but decided against it....I didn't look like a girl, but I did look good....

I have often wondered this as well

It is not right that men are not allowed to express themselves the same way women can

I had a large delivery just today from Fredericks and as i type< I am lounging in my livingroom in a new white corset and g-string with stockings....reminds me, I must go put on the pumps now...brb

Well both sexes wear shorts and jeans so if you wear a pair that is more fem or more mascaline than society thinks you should, it isn't really appearent to a disinterested third party. But a male wearing a dress or a skirt changes everything, especially if your not fully enfemme!!

Shorts and jeans, fem or not, don't really do anything for me at all. If I'm going to wear feminine clothing its skirts, dresses, capris and or gauchos.. And those are not currently deamed by society as proper male atire so it's fully enfemme for me or nothing...well except maybe some lingerie under my male duds.... :D


Denim is great for going in the coal mine and sopping up oil off the garage floor!! Hehehe. Not much else!

Hi Rikidee,

OK, I know this is dangerous, but here goes, I'm going to address a religious subject. Just want to say, this is in no way a condemnation of anyone's religion, it's just information that I found when I did some personal research a few years ago, and I'm offering a very brief summation here, in hope that it might be of interest.

Regarding your Old Testament reference, some modern Jewish scholars (we're talking about Hebrew law here) say that the so-called anti-crossdressing part of Deutereonomy is not actually forbidding CD'ing for the reasons that bring us all here to this forum, rather it was most likely for one of two other possible reasons.

One possibility is that it was a law to keep women and men from disguising themselves as a member of the opposite sex in order to gain access to space reserved for their opposites in order to have sexual relations.

Note that the law first states that it's wrong for women to wear men's things, and this supposedly indicates that this part is more important than men wearing women's things, as order of words supposedly indicates what part of a law is more important, so the part about men not wearing women's things is of less importance, possibly because it was feared that women, who were held in lower esteem in many ways, might try to sneak into men's spaces in order to improve their lot in life.

The other possible reason is a condemnation of some competing religions of the time that worshipped female deities and whose "priestesses" were males who crossdressed or even cut off their genitals and lived as women in order to more closely emulate their Goddess (I think Cybele was the Goddess most often cited), and this was an abomination to the patriarchal Hebrew religion.

Anyway, that's what I found, and no I didn't save citations of where I found this info, sorry. Hopefully, this wasn't off on too much of a tangent.

I may be off track on this. There may be another religous reason. The Bible warns against being sensual and committing sins of the flesh. When donning our female attire most of us become sensual cause we like the look and the of feel womens clothes on our bodies.

I long for the Swingin' Sixties when long hair and psychedelic foppery were the rage.

Brian Jones and Terry Knight were so much more beautiful than, say, Raquel Welch (such awful attire) and Liz Taylor (so conservative!). (Of course, Twiggy had everyone beat.) Part of that style, I've always thought, originated with the impulse to resist war (specifically, the draft) - then it was unthinkable a woman would be in combat (hence the co-optation of groovy guys). A man risked a broken nose for long hair in those days.

Notice how the flowing hair and freaky clothes sort of devolved into a cowboy look around the time Vietnam concluded. 'Jim Dandy to the rescue.'

I knew the CD buzz was chasing me when, one day at a used clothes store, I lamented bitterly about the bland colors and retarded patterns offered to men ... while the womens' section was convulsing with riots of brightness.

I know how you feel. That is why I find it upsetting when women stare or give odd looks. Hey missy why are staring at me when you wear pants, short or even that skirt that barely covers your butt, and now you judge me. plzzzz.... You know, I didn't you a dirty look and call you a ****. Ok, enough venting.


I have always envied women and girls because they get to wear cute and pretty clothes. Look at the baggy pants and shorts that guys wear today!! Who came up with that? What's the point of wearing shorts if they go to the middle of your shins? You can't even buy men's shorts that are shorter.

You real called it like it is. I see mens shorts that are as long as capris, and long shirts as long as night shirts. Yes, that unspoken law that my clothes can't be fun and stylish. Shirts must be baggy with sleaves the elbo, pants and shorts must be baggy, and you must be drownding in clothes. I will say mens clothing designers should be fired. Styles haven't really changed in over a decade.


For the most part you find that only your "friends" and family are judgemental, most other people could care less. I am fortunate in that I am 5'2" tall and weigh130 lbs. I keep my body competely shaved except for my arms and I love it. I know I am rambling but I wanted to get this off my chest. What do you think about the clothes thing?

Feel free to ramble, but it's how I feel. Earlier this year I started to get into fashion and wanted nice clothes. The more I observed people and the clothing styles I started to realize how style deprived mens clothing is, and how I'm basically getting screwed. I had waited over 3 years for strech flare jeans for men. So I finally went out and got a pair, and basically decided if I like something I'm going to get it.

And yes it's usually family and friends who seem to give the most greif, but it hasn't been that bad for me.

Oh, it's probably all to do with establishing the fabricated patriachal social model above the natural matriachal one. Engel's Family, Private Property & the State would point to men having to constantly reinforce the dominance of men over women in order to maintain control.

For men to dress as women, in a patriachal social model, is heresy.

It's one of those works that changes your view of the world... like J.S.Mill's On Liberty. Both were quite influential in allowing me to throw off the inherited social shackles that wished to prevent me from existing as my true self.

If you delve deeper into the meaning of the above Scripture, the reason is that the men were expected to wage war and defend Isreal. To attempt to shirk this duty by pretending to be a woman by dressing was an abomination. The women were expected to perform the domestic duties. For a woman to don a man's clothes or armor to fight for Isreal was also an abomination. Each sex had it's assigned duties and obligations. That what it was really all about. Ericka

I totally agree. That's the main reason (maybe besides some practical concerns.)

It most always has been the "duty", and still is today, of woman to look pretty and enforce their natural prettyness by clothes and makeup.
Polemically said, they have to do it to please men.
Some of the feminine clothes are even expressing the desired submissivness of women in a patriarchic system physically. High heels, tight skirts, corsetts and the like physically restrict mobility and can be seen as "pretty chains".
(This part of the erotic load of this clothes as well as the cause woman's-movement to get rid of them. Of course this kind of clothes have high esthetic aspects too. Today women can decide if they go for this esthetic aspects to express themselves wearing them or don't wear them because of their unfunctionality or their "submissive" load)

In contrast men's clothes at first have to be practical and non-restricting. The highest you can get with is elegance, best expressed by the traditionell british dress-code for men.

Men wearing clothes for prettyness are always irritating, because they "degrade" themselves. It's irritating for men ("Are you gay ?") and for women ("I want to have a real men").

I think you have raised several issues that centre around the desire of all societies to put labels on things and then stick them in little boxes.

First up, men can be pretty. It's just that with males, society tends to use the term 'handsome'. Now whether that is just with facial features, pyshique or overall image, I guess it varies from case to case. Not that I go round soaking up male beauty, but there are many examples we can all come with.

Secondly, there is the issue of 'crossdressing'! Again it is society that dictates what males and females can and should wear. I remember the battles that women had in being accepted in pants or trouser suits as they used to be called. As my wife says, women can wear male-oriented gear because it has be feminized. That is lace and frills have been added. Style has been changed to suit a female figure, etc. The same hasn't happened the other way around. I reckon the battle for guys to be accepted in what is regarded as female gear would be much harder than the battle women had for acceptance.

From a personal point of view I wear femme gear and use make up, not to be pretty but to feel good. In fact right now I'm wearing an ankle length orange skirt with a white D&G top and I feel fantastic. And what's more is my wife rather likes the outfit.

We should NOT forget that it has taken a while for women in our society to gain the ability to wear trousers as openly as they do now. I see pictures from 50 years ago, and all the women in those are in skirts - no exceptions.

It must have been as oppressive as you find not being able to wear skirts, nowadays.

Just take a moment to think about that. xx

I think we are all in agreement here...that ughly male gender box, full of boring clothes, fragrances, no makeup, boring shoes and no real fun at all needs to be busted apart and another, much roomier one built....or...we can live our double lives and have fun in both worlds, which is my preference.
AS far as the old testament...well the one thing that is true about it is the "old" part. Messages meant for Hebrews 3000 years ago carry little weight in this modern world with me.
We have come a little way in 3000 years, most of us shave our face, which in fact is a form of crossdressing.

I think some of it has to do with marketing as well. Madison Avenue has a lot more influence than a lot of people realize. And if they have a product they want to sell, they will usually take the path of least resistance. Pity, too, as I'm not sure they realize the potential market. If we could convenience them that marketing skirts, heels, panties, etc, to men was in their best interest (and ours :D ), I'm certain society's acceptance would speed up dramatically.

Given that Deuteronomy 22 commands the stoning to death of adulterers, or forces women to marry their rapists, I don't feel so bad about violating Deuteronomy 22:5, 22:11 and 22:12!

22:5 A woman shall not wear an article proper to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's dress; for anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, your God.

22:11 You shall not wear cloth of two different kinds of thread, wool and linen, woven together (I guess Viscose and eslatain weren't thought of back then!)

22:12 You shall put twisted cords on the four corners of the cloak that you wrap around you.

22:22 If a man is discovered having relations with a woman who is married to another, both the man and the woman with whom he has had relations shall die. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.

22:28 -29 "If a man comes upon a maiden that is not betrothed, takes her and has relations with her, and their deed is discovered, the man who had relations with her shall pay the girl's father fifty silver shekels and take her as his wife, because he has deflowered her. Moreover, he may not divorce her as long as he lives.

I would like to pose a lot of questions that go unaswered in my mind.Who is the most offended and shocked by a GM dressing en femme; is it women or men? Why is gender based on only on genetics? Why is one; nature, feelings, thinks, soul, not part of that persons gender? It is ok for a person to have choice in sexual preferences, but not all right as to what clothes they want to wear? Girls if I feel like a girl it seems to me that I am a girl. Why do I offend socity by just wanting to allow who I am to show? The list just goes on without any answers. Love to all.

yep im with you on that one, if they are your clothes thing!

centuries ago it was considered very manly to wear make up and act very camp as you will often see in the periodic dramas that england keep on pushing down ppl throats, it has gone full circle, fashion goes in circles and history repeats itself, men can express themselves just like women, there are positives all over the place, what about the metrosexual movement, you can buy guyliner and mens nail polish and it has moved on a lot in a short space of time, I posted a few weeks ago regarding ear piercing and whether or not it was a good idea to get them done, all the experiences I have had away and from being very analytical of late I have noticed none of it really matters, we are far too concerned worried about what everyone else is thinking of us, well that is a kind of arrogance in a way to think that everyone cares what we do and ppl will stare, ppl dont seem to give two hoots nowadays to most things, ok you get a lot of prehistoric ppl out there but I have met more ppl who are willing to accept, ppl are sometimes afraid to tell you thier true feelings for fear of rejection and ridicule, I was! not anymore I find the ppl who matter most and the ones that are important to you are important for a reason, because you chose them as friends, the rest is all academic, who cares what some old lady with a blue rinse thinks of me in my heels and what does it matter if that hairy arse builder spots I am a CD, These ppl come in and out of your life like an air hostess on your holidays!!
so live it love it and have a happy life!!!!!!!

Yeah, the Scots got it right, and also Ancient Rome and Greece. I love watching the show Rome on HBO because all the men walk around in little "skirts" and show their gorgeous legs. :ld: I agree that men's shorts today tend to be too long - I want to see boys in hot pants! :thumbsup:


its not just the type of the clothes it the colours of the clothes too i find. men are stuck with blue, black grey Ect while women get much brighter colours.
BTW, I think boys can be as pretty as they dare to be. There are a lot of pretty boys in my home town and they're not afraid to wear bright colors - including hot pink shirts or floral print ties.

Julogden and Ericka, thanks for the Biblical background. It's very interesting to learn about how these things begin and evolve.

As far as I am concerned these prohibitions in Deuteronomy apply only to Orthodox Jews, which I am not, and are in many ways illogical or redundant in modern society. I haven't a clue how many different threads are used in my clothing and couldn't give a **** , I will have milk in my coffee as I eat a beef sandwich, love shellfish, eat bacon sandwiches, and yes, I WEAR WOMEN'S CLOTHING and enjoy doing so, panties 24/7 for decades now and female outer clothing when at home.

To answer the main question, I blame the Victorians and Edwardians, they brought in the dull boring suits of jackets and trousers, truly DRAB in the commonly understood meaning of that word. If one looks at fashion in Britain in Regency times men were dressed as dandies for example Beau Brummel, before that in Stuart and early Hanoverian times men wore colourful clothing and long very girly wigs and had in many cases a feminine look to them. The Puritans of course under Cromwell brought misery in clothing as well as in other aspects of life but thankfully their reign was short. Going back even earlier men may have worn leggings when in battle etc but in many cases when at leisure wore long robe type garments and of course the Greeks and Romans had the toga and its equivalent and Roman soldiers wore a skirt type garment and the ancient Egyptians wore a type of kilt. Even the Jews of olden times wore a long gown like that of modern Arabs. Trousers or pants as the Yanks call them are a relatively modern convention for males to have to wear , even in the early 20th century young boys were dressed in girls' clothing for their first few years and only wore trousers from when they went to school at about the age of five when they were said to be "breeched" that is put into breeches or trousers.

One of the things I told my wife when I came out to her, "I wanted to feel pretty, even though I know I'm not." I love the bright colors, the pastels... But we can't wear them, got to be Macho - have a dark blue, or charcoal, or black, or brown, or olive pants, shirts, etc. I'm certainly not your size, I'm 5'10" and 200 lbs. wish I weren't, but that's the way it is: still like to feel pretty occasionally.

I have never understood the view many CD's seem to take on this issue, i.e. "women can wear pants, so why can't we wear skirts."

It is in my mind a poor argument. Pants are not, and have not been for a long time "male" attire. Women have been wearing pants for a long time. These issues need to be looked at and thought about in historical and cultural context.

Truth be told the reason that this changed was because women were far more courageous in challenging the constraints society placed on them.

I disagree, however I use it because it really was not that long ago. Perhaps the question is, why should I have live my life repressed? Yes, I know technically you can, but really who enjoys isolation.

So what do I want? I want to be treated with equality, but somehow it's too much to ask.

swiss_susan
08-14-2006, 04:42 AM
I think you missed my point.

This is the 21st century. By no stetch of the imagination are pants "male" attire. It is quite normal and acceptable for women to wear them. Many designers make them solely for women. That is simply a fact.

There is no longer a parallel between the two. As there are very few designers who make skirts for men even fewer dresses. Thats just the way it is and will continue to be until enough people get out there and do what they want despite the snickers and jeers.

Afterall no one is actually stopping you from going out in a skirt are they?

You want equality, then fight for it like women did. It was not an easy road to get where they are today either.

Change requires courage and action.

I agree with Tamara, whatever I'm wearing is mine, not men's or women's, especially in view of who I am. Caplex, I'd love to see you in a kilt. You'd probably look damn sexy. As I've said many times, clothing is relative. It's the man, woman (or person) who makes the clothes, not vice versa. EER & K

Did you read what I said about isolation. Sure, no one will stop you, but no one will want to hang out with you. ( For the most part )

Change? I don't see that coming for another 50 years.

I still disagree, and I find it very upsetting. I could wear a modest skirt to my knees and that is not main stream acceptable. Women have gone beyond pants though. Let's see they wear all types of pants the uber short mini skirts, low cut shirts. In fact, I went tanning the other and my wife and I both got an eye full as the busty gal with the super super low cut shirt bent over to ask our info before assigning us a tanning bed. Do tell me, why is that acceptable, yet a modest skirt for me is not? Ok, I'm venting again, sore subject for me.

"Puritans of course under Cromwell brought misery in clothing as well as in other aspects of life but thankfully their reign was short." True that, but like a real bad wine the lingering afterburn continues long after you put the glass down. Of course those who came here - the Pilgrims - well you can't spell Pilgrim without GRIM.

Marx was pretty dreary in his own way.

And those darn Greeks, they even have a word for it.

It is NOT a change purse! :slap:

Though I agree we need to see you in a kilt, you can borrow mine.

Denim is great for going in the coal mine and sopping up oil off the garage floor!! Hehehe. Not much else!


Love Karren

I feel just as fem in a nice pair of girlie trousers as i do in a skirt, i love suits in particular they are so hot trouser ones or skirts, and as for shorts, i just love hot pants :love:
