What I tried to imply is that the conception of masculinity in fashion means limitted and ugly looking apparel (99 % of the cases) - and I assure you male body can be good-looking - but slatternly and unvarried clothing,shoes and etc. just oppress that fact.I provoked some not so positive reactions that simply confirm my conclusions.Clothes made for women (and shoes for that matter) are in most cases underlining the body structure (it is not obligatory to have women's body, male body can be also underlined, just compare the look to men,not to women) and it is not necessary to look womanish physically.A woman in male garb,shoes does not look like me for that matter and females do not make the mistake to compare themselves to males.So when I wear a dress do not expcet to look like Marylin Monroe, but look good in a man's kind of way.When I try to enhance my masculinity either I go to the gym or take care of my nice beard.And the most important fact - femininity is not an issue to women that is why they wear what they please - even the most masculine as you say stuff.At least in my country that is the situation, and from my experiences abroad I've seen the same.If you deny that then you must be either hypocrite or blind.
There is nothing worse than double standard!
