It's a fantasy for some, a lifestyle for a few, and most of us here do not identify with the term at all--though plenty of ignorant, macho men might call me one. Yes, i dress in womens clothes but am not a sissy...i am also fine with anyone who enjoys that syndrome...no judging from me. But consider also... I think one small reason i dress is to escape the conventional pressures most males feel. I am not aggressive or overly confrontational tho years of my life demanded that behavior. If sissy is one end of a scale, the other end is much worse.
