It looks like SheKnows is been pretty positive for a while.

Post by kingfish »

Here's a (nearly) 10 year old article that came across in my Pinterest feed:

https://www.sheknows.com/living/article ... ike-women/

It's always refreshing to see articles like this, even if it took nearly 10 years to show up in one of my social media feeds.

I agree - WHY did it take almost 10 years to show up on Social Media :?:

Photo's are good quality and show that 'Hey - Men can have fun with fashion, too!'

Very good photographs and good on the photographer for her honest opinion.

I found the same article on the Daily Mail site but the readers comments are very depressing indeed. It’s just typical bigot narrow minded Daily Mail readers comments.

It's all well and good in my book. But it still proffers the idea that clothes are part and parcel of gender identity. As long as that prevails many men will never consider skirts or dresses an alternative.

I agree with you. I also wish everyone quit referring dresses and skirts as women clothes.
There was this article on MSN that list 25 items men shouldn't wear, but what wasn't on the list was dresses and skirts. Maybe this article will get men to wear dresses and skirts.

Remember Alpha M wants you dress in high value.

As those who criticize us for our choice of fashion, they, themselves are being criticize by others for their choice for fashion. The article I posted about 25 items men shouldn't wear represent that.
i am surprise there is no backlash happening from this article, especially what it contains. Number 5 on the list was baseball caps. Men shouldn't wear their favorite baseball team cap if it is dirty, or have rips or tears. If you do you are low value person aka piece-of-****. If a women wore a their favorite baseball cap and it was dirty or have rips or tears they where fine, just only men are just piece of **** if they do. Alpha M only attacks men only and not one woman, even she wears the same thing. Only men should show up wearing a new baseball cap in stadiums to look high value while supporting their favorite team.
Maybe a baseball player should get a new cap put on his head every time his cap falls off and hits the ground. in order to keep looking high value throughout the game. Men aren't allowed in getting dirty during course of the day, according to Alpha M, in order to look high value throughout the day, instead looking like a-piece-of-****. Men wears baseball caps as part of their work attire and it is going get dirty. When it does you are now piece-of-**** aka low value person.
Alpha M also pulling men's pants down making sure your underwear up to his/her standard's from you looking like a-piece-of-****.
We need to remind people as they judge us by our appearance there is those who are judging them by their appearance. Never mind these people cites themselves as being Christians' and don't care a part of the Bible that cites: Do not judge according to appearance ..... John7:24
This is just another article why we should hate one another because of our appearances.

I wear earrings also. You are not alone. If it's unfashionable for men to wear earrings, then it must be unfashionable for women also. No double standards is permitted here. These Bias fashion standards has to end. As far as i am concern MSN dot com owes people an apology regarding this article.

I question on which males this article reflect to. I mean this include everyone that sees their gender as male but not born as a biological male? It is more likely this author only reflects only biological males. And think MSN says they are equal opportunity employer. If that was true then these articles would reflect all males are equal to women. This article reflects how males are not equal to women including the work environment at MSN. This author reflects how a men are not welcome at MSN if they wear dresses and skirts and have earrings in their ears. This article represent the true work environment at MSN as being hostile towards to men who wear earrings and as such. As long MSN keep producing articles for the common man not to wear earrings, the same must be same be said at MSN where men are not allowed wear them there either.
Everyone should note that MSN didn't put a disclaimer that the article only reflects author's opinion only.

I don’t like those lists of what people should not wear. Men should wear what they want. Granted the author didn’t mention skirts and dresses or even tights in the list but he probably naively assumes men don’t wear those clothes. I disagree with number 24 in the list where he states older people shouldn’t dress trendy. I think men should dress trendy no matter what age they are and that goes for women too.

I think different things can, and generally will be fashionable for men and women. And that's okay. Just don't tell men they can't wear a wide swath of things women can, while simultaneously telling women they can and even should wear all those things and everything men do. That is the double standard.
