Perception!
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 7:29 pm
Based on what have you done for me lately, men wearing skirts, kilts or even dresses have an uphill battle because there's not enough men wearing those garments to change the cultural perception of what men wear.
It has been the constant or nearly constant sight of women wearing pants, which began with WWII, that has allowed our perception of women wearing pants to become and every day standard in the western cultures of the world. And even the eastern cultures are slowly swinging to the concept of pants for everyone.
The sad part is that no one is questioning this in anyway.
Hillary spends all her time in pants suits and no one cares. Now she's going to represent us to the world and it will be in a pair of pants. The only woman to appear in skirts all the time, Sarah Pallin, got crucidied by the new pretorian guard(i.e.the mass media).
In order for men to be accepted wearing whatever we want we need to be seen in publilc wearing????????????????????????? Fill in the blanks according to what you want to wear.
The question is how to do this.
The skirted men's march a few years ago didn't really make a difference.
Even the million man march a few year back didn't get a million men out. More people attended this last innaguration then at the million man march.
So what's the answer?
The more we're seen out the easier it becomes to go out.
But can it be a group thing or do we each have to do it for ourselves one man at a time?
I have the feeling it will have to be each of us alone.
