🍒 Why is it more acceptable for women to dress like men than it is for men to dress like women?

Answer 1

Cultural standards say women are delicate while men are suppose to be tough and stern.I.e. women have lower status and can dress up however they see fit and people won't make a big fuss,while men are held at higher expectations and is considered downgrading to be in such feminine attire.

Oh I don't know. I still look good in a cocktail dress (If I shave my legs) and bump up the cleavage.

Answer 4

When a woman wears 'men's clothes', she is likely to be doing it for practical purpose or comfort. A few generations ago a woman dressing as a man, meant wearing trousers, even if the rest of her clothing was typically feminine.

Answer 5

Men look eccentric in women's clothes

Answer 6

You'd be surprised.

Answer 7

Just evolution of history. Look at pictures of the men in Ancient Greece and Rome. Look at pictures of Jesus. None have on pants, and you have the Scotch kilts, Even today, Judges and college deans dress in robes when in public forums, not suits. I do think this first came about during WWII when women went to work in the factories where it wasn't feasible to wear dresses.

Answer 8

Double standards

Answer 9

how about dress the way it makes you happy

Answer 10

There are multiple explanations, like the whims of contemporary fashion, and this is evidenced in historical artifacts. From the sixteenth to the nineteenth century well-to-do men wore stockings, or "hose". And in antiquity, of course, men and women wore tunics, cloaks, and togas appropriate to their social rank. At present, also, it is important to note that Muslim women ARE NOT permitted to dress like men. If a man were to dissimulate and "dress like a woman", it could be interpreted a variety of different ways, but the mere fact that someone intends to be something they by nature are not is offensive to most people of even moderate intelligence. Because of the obvious natural proportional differences between the genders, it follows that the real natural function of a piece of clothing is that it "fits". And depending on the skill of the clothier, tailor, ect., any piece of clothing can be "made to fit" a particular individual. But this is not profitable for mass-manufacturers, just as people with dwarfism have extremely limited options in finding an automobile that "fits".
