Bravo!
Personally, I think the only way that any female posters will be regulars here is if they are the more extreme types such as LaurieHeels. Yes, women have the regular fashion boards to discuss what they wear, and heels are acccepted for them so it does not have the pathos of men who wear them.
In short, I agree with you about the women, but try telling anyone that. As for male acceptability, I believe it to be getting worse, for the reasons that the dl thing is so strong plus the tendency of the media and people in general to think of anything not "regular" as "transgender."
