      At some point, women started wearing trousers. Today this is very common and no one would link that to their sexuality or gender alignment

      My point is that maybe we are at that point now, just for men to wear whatever they feel is cool

        Exactly what I was thinking. Never in my life have I seen my mother wear a skirt. She wears pants because she likes them and that’s perfectly valid. Style is a personal choice and I don’t understand why people think it’s related to sexuality or gender identity. Thank you.

        Everyone wears “what they feel is cool”, wearing skirts and crop tops shows people you think that’s cool, and that informs people of who you are as a person to a certain degree (the kind of man who likes wearing skirts and crop tops).

        Of course you’re free, and no one is legally allowed to lock you up or restrict you in whatever way to stop you from wearing crop tops and skirts, lol, that’s not the conversation here. And I’d rather you said “it’s not immoral for me to dress like a girl” than going for the “I do what I want, you’re not my dad!” line, at least it shows more maturity.

          You’re not one to decide another’s life, or to determine morality. What is moral depends on the time and the person.

            Did I put chains on him? A gun to his head for him to do my bidding? Also, that final statement seems like you’re the one “defining morality”! 🫩

          What is the conversation here? Also, I don’t dress like a girl. I dress like me. And I wasn’t ever concerned with morality.

            Which members of society overwhelmingly wear skirts and crop tops? Why do you think you’re asking this question?! 🙄 And the conversation is not about whether you can or cannot do it, but what that says about you as a self-proclaimed heterosexual man and whether women as a whole will view it and the attitudes and ideology behind it positively or negatively.
