I'm a seventy year old, long haired, bearded dude who would present in an openly hybrid/freestyle/androgynous manner pretty much all the time if it wouldn't cause the drama that I know it would cause in my small world. I have no gender dysphoria and my motivations are mostly aesthetic with some tactile inspiration.

What I'm wondering is why men don't have the freedom to express this part of themselves and my own personal answer is that it's because women do not want to be intimately associated with guys like me. And guys don't want to be associated with a guy like me because of the damage it might do to his reputation. I know that's not universal, but it is pretty much fact in my world.

So, why do men not feel free to wear what they want?
