So I was having a conversation with a mate today about "cross dressing" we got onto the subject of what it would be like to be a "woman for a day" and have a complete make over, wear dresses, shoes etc (which I do all the time and love it to bits, but my friend who is a VERY MASCULINE Male said .. "any man who wears women clothes must be gay" (Please don't shoot me for this, just telling the story)
I asked him what made him say that.. His response is well men wear mens clothes, women wear women clothes.. So I asked him to define mens clothes. The response came back.. Pants(trousers), shirts shorts etc. To which my response was .. "well women wear all those things too, does that make them lesbian. ?" He said well no.. Then proceeded to say that they do make pants specifically for women but men would not wear them.. I then said to him, well technically though, by your very definition of mens clothes, then thats what they are and women should not wear them......."... including your wife" .. I said to him if women are going to go into shops and buy up all the mens clothes to wear, then I'm damn well gonna go into the shops and buy up all theirs... LOL
He then paused for a moment and said well ok I will give you that, but men dont wear make up. I said.. "you ever watched a movie.... " actors wear make up all the time. The conversation developed from there into that they wear it for their job, not for recreation purposes.. Lol i said well I wear makeup, nail polish, etc for fun and recreation .. does that make me gay.. Silence ..
So I think I won that one. I think he is a closet TV desperate to get out..
Its so messed up that in this day and age we define clothing based on gender.. Who cares if a man wears a dress, makeup, panties etc. in the same way as who cares if a women wears pants, sneakers etc ..
Its for this very reason I have decided I am now going to >COME OUT > and let my friends know I am a CD.. If they dont like it, dont let the door hit you on the way out :-)
LOL
