This is obviously in response to Sean Penn's comments. Some quotes:
But still, clothing as a form of expression, liberation, and empowerment, especially when linked to gender and the dismantling of it is a relatively new concept. Now, it is seen as radical if a man wears a skirt because it is making a very clear statement, that of: ‘I know this is unusual in your eyes and goes against everything you’ve been conditioned to believe but I’m doing it anyway’.
While the author is coming at "men in skirts" from a LGBTQ+ angle, I think the sentiment that he conveys are common to what we all discuss here (ie, just a general men's right issue).Yet, at the same time, I despair that just being yourself has to be a form of activism.
Why can’t people just mind their own business rather than wade into discussions about gender expression?
