Sophie and I were discussing this at lunch the other day, and I'm curious what people think.
While I was onboard a submarine, it was perfectly OK for a guy to have dirty pornographic magazines in his bed/room/closet/whatever. Now, I really don't care what people do in their spare time (I'm rather libertarian in that respect), and the fact that people look at porn doesn't bother me...so long as I don't have to look at that. In fact, people were shocked that I didn't look at porn at all.
Now, if I had told anyone that I occasionally like to shave my legs, throw on a skirt and heels, and do myself up like a cute girl, I'd be labeled as a pervert.
Really? It still boggles my mind. Any ideas on why this double standard is tolerated? Again, I don't care that other folks look at porn, but why would I get ridiculed for crossdressing?
And, for that matter, why do a lot of women excuse the love of pornography in a dating relationship, but not crossdressing?
Inquiring minds want to know your thoughts....
