Everybody: Answer this as honestly as you can....

I have been around men and women who have a hateful attitude toward men wearing women’s clothing. I see them as people who think they have the right to judge others but in truth they fear others judging them and so they throw their opinions and judgements out trying to deflect anything pointed in their direction. This of course just makes them look worse.

I have known men who get upset with their sons showing any inclination towards “women’s attire and activities” and do everything they can to steer them in the other direction. My own brother expressed concern when his son desired a toy kitchen set. I asked him why and he said it is “girl’s stuff”. I asked him what he did one time for a job, wasn’t he a cook? He said yes. Then I said so why would your son wanting to cook be a problem? He couldn’t answer and backed down.

These are things society/family drill into people. If people don’t conform to these ideas then they are judged as weird, not socially acceptable and put fear into others thinking they will somehow change the world as they have come to know it. People are afraid of change. They are afraid of anything different, because they were taught to fear it, not look at it as a way to learn and appreciate other people, and other cultures. Or how to blend with these differences. They were not taught that differences can live harmoniously.

I am a firm believer if someone is offended, then they need to look at themselves, not at the person or object. Their emotions don’t come from others or objects it comes from inside but people don’t want to know, so instead they try and deflect.

What was the usual response women had when a few women first started to wear pants when women were only known to wear dresses? It took a long time and a big shift towards many women wearing pants before it became “acceptable” by the majority.
