Some of us remember the American culture of the 1940's and 1950's. At that time, there was no feminist movement, and the male energy was at its peak. Radio, television, movies, comics, all had the man riding high! I believe, that tue femininity was also pretty high, then, too, looking at the fashions women wore. But, something happened in the mid 1960's, and has continued to plow forward. The decline of men. The decline of respect for men, and the male energy. Poet Robert Bly hit on this in the 1990's. The feminist movement has been relentless, also. I am wondering if all this attack on maleness, has contributed to any of you's crossdressing. I believe there are cultural influences, such as, the majority of women wearing pants , the vast majority of the time, and the unmistakable declint of masculinity, since the 1960's. I think i would have dressed anyway, I think it may have had a small influence, but definitely it is there.
