That definitely part of it and is one side effect of the “cancel culture” concerns that’s possibly (I underline possibly) working for us. If you were ridiculed every time you went out in a skirt, would you wear one? I would not.Coder wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 3:46 pm
I think it's for a different reason, though. I think 10 years ago curiosity would have gotten the better of people - today I think they are afraid of being cancelled, looking like a bigot, or insulting someone. They are told to "accept everyone" and whilst the message has gotten through, it has made interactions soulless. I think there should be a base level of discussion - how else are men going to wake up and realize they can wear what they want? Certainly not by seeing another guy so attired, though I suppose that helps.
There’s absolutely no way one thing is going to “do it.” But curiosity hasn’t died. I have a feeling random strangers are less likely to openly ridicule or ask but close friends/friends(colleagues we otherwise speak with will speak up. Think about the casual conversations you have every day with them
