Escaping Slavery by Crossdressing

Post by mr seamstress »

In the past African-American women would dress as men to escape from slavery. By this one would think that these women would join men in justifying men can wear dresses and skirts. But they don't. They do more in justifying their masters in capturing them and returning them back to slavery their ancestors had to endure.
This black history needs to be taught and remind women who they are. They cannot condemn about wearing what attire one person can wear without they are condemning their ancestors in their own daring escape.

In reflection of crossdressing laws around 1850, it seems was put in place help in stopping African-Americans from escaping their masters of slavery. The least one hears about from any African-American how these crossdressing laws was used against them in protecting their masters from them in escaping. One would think these African-Americans would complain about how lawmakers was putting new crossdressing laws in 2023 and reminding them of the time they where slaves. These crossdressing laws are tied to slavery.

All men can escape slavery to the Man-Box by crossdressing. Crossdressing is good for the mind and the soul.

You missed the point of the idea. This is Deuteronomy 22 in action for real -- it's about deception!

Women cross-dress all the bloody time. Does anybody give them grief? No. The only ones who get grief are guys. We need to get rid of that double-standard -- or enforce it rigidly for everybody.

All men can escape slavery to the Man-Box by choosing not to enter it in the first place.
Men just have to learn that it won't bring an end to the universe.
Contrary to Mr Seamstress' assertions, in most situations, there will be no legal impediment or outright condemnation either.
For what it's worth, in Britain, there has been no legal slavery since the 11th century.
There have been laws prohibiting cross-dressing in some form since the 17th and only fully repealed in 1999.

I didn't miss a point. It is how those use Deuteronomy to protect what is wrong. And it is about spreading this truth and see where it goes.

Hi Stevie, yes don’t enter it in the first place, but it’s damn near impossible! It is part of the indoctrination of being male. If you have any thoughts of not entering, you will get a course correction by bullies in early elementary school and may be losing teeth as a result.

As far I can tell this was the conditions of 1850. Clergy was preaching man can't wear dresses and women can't wear pants. The problem here is clergy had sons wearing dresses even at 3 years old. The men bed clothes would be a gown aka a dress. So this main purpose of Deuteronomy had to be to protect white man abuse and his slavery. Any use of Deuteronomy today is to whitewash this past.

If you follow the Old Testament, there are many things to worry about. One of my clients is seriously High Jewish and it is fascinating to see how they have to live their lives following all of the rules. It is also interesting how they work round the rules.
