Its not about the clothes for me, its about function, first, and then what hte clothes represent, second.
The toga should have never been pitched out. Its a functional summer garment, looks extremely masculine when you wear it in the male style, and is simple. Its loose, which works well with the male anatomy. I have no problem with "single-legged garments" as a male style.
When you wear a women's skirt, its not that it is a skirt, its that its DESIGNED FOR A WOMAN. If there were such thing as a men's skirt, then there would be no problem. Notice that theres no problem when a guy wears a kiltz? Its the same as jeans, both genders wear jeans, but there are different jeans for each. First of all, theres social image to uphold. Second, a guy wearing a womens garment is just stupid, because women's garments were designed for a womans anatomy. If you are a man, you will find much more functionality and comfort in a mens garment. If you're wearing a woman's skirt, then there is something else going on than "its more comfortable". You're either showboating, living a fetish, or acting on some other mental compulsion.
If you're still going to do it, fine. But there are consequences. I get really irked when people start talking about how everyone should be able to act how they want without any social consequences, the whole, lets all get along idea. No. You can act how you want, but you have to accept that there are consequences for how you act, because there IS a system, whether you like it or not. You can either go with the system, reap the rewards, but suffer the restraints, or, you can ditch the system, live free, but expect no help from the other side.
