They all work at the same buisness.
just want to thank all of you for the replies. i loved them all!! i did try to have fun with this as it is kinda the normal dress in my area. many girls here work on farms,
factories, gas drilling, construction and highway dept...so no big deal around here.
its just funny how women can pretty much wear anything they like and nobody bats an eye. people should be able to wear whatever it is they feel comfortable in...but society will always have that darn "double-standard issue" when men dress like women.
now if the example i used was 3 men and 3 women in a salon all wearing dresses...i don't think i would of gotten a response lol :)
At least we have the answer to one question. The question, "who let the dogs out..who..who", it was Isha! As far as gender roles and clothing goes, give it time. I remember as a teenager in high school that the girls wore skirts or dresses to school unless it was below -10F outside. Then they were allowed to wear a pant suit, anyone disobeying the rules was sent down to the "home economics" room and was given an ugly skirt, or dress to wear for the day. A little shame put that girl in her place! Who knows what everyone will be wearing in 40 years.
I actually think that you would get a lot more replies. I understand where you are coming from. However, if one of those 3 women was in a cute short skirt and heels. I bet that she would have gotten a lot of attention whether she could carry that look or not, i.e. looked good in it. People at other tables might have wondered why she was dressed that way (easy lay, loose woman/girl?), maybe think that she was dressed inappropriately for the venue, without ever thinking about where she may be going afterward. Yes, women can dress down easier and wear clothes that were traditionally male. They do it all the time and probably no one ever thinks twice about it.
The key is that they, women and girls, have been doing that for more years than my Medicare age, probably just about all of them have done it at one time or another. They had their issues with acceptance fro society when they started wearing men's clothing too. Now when you compare that same situation to MtF TG's/CD's, you always see that big difference in peoples' take on how we dress. Why, because we are such a very small minority, probably not worthy of counting, and I am talking about the ones who go out and get seen by the general public. There are way too few of us out there dressing as we want and living our lives as we want to really make much difference to how people think.
One way to get out of the discrimination rut that we are in is to get more of us to go out regularly. The more the general public sees us, the quicker they will become accustomed to seeing us and hopefully will also feel better when interacting with us. I believe that they would eventually see us as another dressing style/fad that just won't go away. They might not like it, but they also will stop making a big deal out of it. I never liked the grunge look that made good looking guys and girls look like sloppy expensively dressed bums. After awhile, I got used to it and learned how to ignore it without letting it get to one my sensitive hot buttons.
