I think that an interesting wrinkle is the new phenomenon of men wearing skirts. There are more and more websites and designers selling skirts and dresses to straight men and selling it as the next step in freedom. This is an excerpt from one website:
Freedom! Liberation! Equality! Sensibleness!
Campaign to abolish gender clothing-apartheid!
The rule that said that men should not wear skirts has got to be one of the daftest around, (see Misconceptions), made even more absurd now that its equivalent rule that women should not wear trousers has been quite sensibly abolished.
Obviously, rules telling you what you can't wear are bizarre oppression. Make that gender-discriminatory and you're talking serious gender apartheid. But add to that a curious asymmetry, making some people arbitrary second-class citizens, and the logical conclusion is that this is some kind of a joke rather than reality.
An early example of someone breaking the rules was Emma Snodgrass, who in Boston on 29th December 1852 was arrested for wearing trousers. Now let's see if the world is advancing, and losing its silly rules.
I guess one question that I have is whether people here are willing to accept this as just another development in our society and a reflection of the evolutionary nature of our culture. How do you feel about a man in a skirt, and if you are comfortable with women in pants, do you have any Biblical basis to be uncomfortable with a man in a skirt.
Here are a few pics just so you don't think that I'm talking about kilts and blowing it out of proportion.
