Deliberately "NOT" passing.

It is up to us to create a society that doesn't have anxiety over people who cross gender boundaries by getting out there and wearing what we want to wear. That is how women gained the acceptance to wear masculine clothing and accessories.

OK, I understand what you're getting at now, I see why you feel this is important.

But sadly, I think that you are chasing a dream, simply because of the question of numbers. Even though not all women started out incorporating pants in their daily fashion, there were a potential 100% women who would follow suite (which did end up being 100%), whereas there is less than 5% of the male population that wants to feminize their looks in the ways that you propose. So even if ALL the CDers in the world were to feminize themselves publicly, there would not be enough to change society's views on this, in my opinion. People would still be anxious over the few men who wish to cross the gender boundary.

Also, pants for women were not an attempt to cross any gender boundary, so doing so did not cause the same level of social anxiety. Women were motivated by a right to live to their full human potential, a desire to move out from under the dominion of men, equal privilege under the law, and equal pay on the job, which are human rights issues and not a gender statement. Wearing pants was not an attempt at looking masculine ... in fact, women's pants followed the shape of their curves in the hips and waist and the fashion industry modified the pants to look feminine, to differentiate them from men's pants.

Unfortunately, there is no way that the look that you propose (the feminization of men) is something that the 95% of non-CDers will want nor will they ever adopt this, since they are happy being masculine men. If all the CDers in the world were to come out in droves and declare their right to express femininity, their 5% numbers would still not be great enough to make it seem mainstream and to change society's views that it is not OK for men to cross the gender boundaries and feminize themselves.

Earlier I showed pics of styles that might work if you want to see a universal adoption of men wearing skirts, that does what women did (differentiate the styles to suit the gender), but you objected to this. So I'm afraid that what you are after (men wearing frilly and pretty things) will just never fly in the numbers required to make a difference since there simply are not enough men in our society who will go for it.
