How many of you looked at the media coverage of the Oscars? The men basically look like penguins, dressed alike in black and white. If they are of interest, it is because they are famous or are with some interesting woman. The women are of interest mostly because of the way they are dressed. The coverage in the press is all about the gowns/outfits they are wearing.
What's the message? Men are mainly, serious types. Women are vain and shallow, dressing to show off, just superficial sex objects, trying to attract attention with fancy plumage. The opposite of birds.
So, when a man dresses in women's clothes or shoes, you can see where that attracts negative reactions whether people are aware of the reasons for their reactions or not. It all comes down to perceived sex roles. Since women are so shallow, they can do anything and it is not taken seriously or is even encouraged by the shallow fashion world.

As for the women showing off their gowns and becoming the focus of an event, they have earned that right by putting up with and taking care of us penquins.
What made men so serious? Was it from the lack of possible choices? Men have pigeon holed their world of exhibiting their feelings and of things to do. Women, on the other hand, have kept their world open to exploration and experiencing. I guess they had to, because men are too narrow minded. If it wasn't for the females in our lives, we males would lead a very secluded and uneventful existence. Come to think of it, when we were teenagers the world seem to hold the promise of what dreams are made of. We did some things then that we would not dare confess to now, but we were full of life. Doesn't that feeling radiate from the women we know, most of the time? Sure they're flashy and seemingly shallow at times, but they make the world worth living for. Part of women's exuberant and exotic nature comes from the fact they have a world of choices for what ever suits their fancy at any given time.
So, as I compare a man's surroundings to a women's internet, there seems to be such a void in what men are able to do verses the plethora of decisions women have to make, even each day, to cope with the world they endow. I may never be able to fully comprehend a woman's life, because I haven't had the need to make even half the decisions they make just preparing for the day's activities. But I have seen the life society has projected for males and usually it is all right to take the easiest path life has to offer. This type of thinking seems to be why males have lost many of their rights to choose for themselves.
