I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!
As a man I appreciate your concerns. However, in my country the problem is much larger on the women's side as female professionals are struggling for their rights to wear trousers in professional settings. The recent progress? The lawyers just got allowed to wear pants instead of skirts only.
Why the fuck is this something that must be permitted in the first place? My rights to wear a kilt can wait until women can wear pants.
Why would this division in rationale be productive?
The struggle to wear a dress and the struggle to wear a pants are both but the same, the right to choose for yourself what you want to dress with. Same as the right to wear a Hijab, or the right not to wear it.
The right to wear what one wants is not something that can wait for anyone.
At least in my country, men wearing kilt would be weird at best, but females of certain professions would be outright barred from practicing if they showed up in pants.
The level of oppression towards women is much stronger, hence the urgency.
Yeah, my perspective is definitely American. I hope the women in your country get the right to dress how they please soon. Thank you for being an ally to them!
I hope all these strange rules can just be dropped so people can wear whatever type of clothes is comfortable for them. I'm a woman and Ive hated dresses my entire life. I love that jumpsuits have become more popular because to me they are supremely practical and there are plenty that are formal enough to wear to fancy occasions.
