Razors never used to have a gender label until they realised they could sell more to women if they made them pink and called them femshave or something. Otherwise it's exactly the same product.

female : asking for directions, dolls, cats, lace, knitting, baileys, netball, romantic songs, tearjerkers

male: reading the map, guns, dogs, tweed, mechanics, guinness, rugby (played by men with funny shaped balls), heavy rock, action films

but honestly, we're doing our androgynous ways harm by pursuing this stereotyping....

the map-reading's right tho....

Honestly, every time this subject surfaces, the people looking for instant recognition and acceptance "carp" about the preceived inequality between sexes just because men that wear femine attire are view as engaging in devient behavior.

Their constant braying about women wearing trousers and any other article of male attire aren't viewed in the same light as men wearing womens clothing or high heels, etc, is becoming just about more than any civilized person can tolerate.

While every male high heel wearer on the face of this earth knows that the general public really doesn't approve of their practice, the only relief they have is to go ahead and wear their heels any time they chose without regard to any negative reaction they might encounter.

After all, as has been repeatedly pointed out,well over and over again on this forum, a male wearing heels is just a head game and those that really want to wear them in public should get over it and go ahead and wear them like they own them.

But, people that whine and howl about how unfair it is, should always keep foremost in mind that the difference in dress and clothing adornment has been developing as long as civilization has been developing. And, it's patently unreasonable to think that the practice can be eliminated in a few short years.

So guys, put on your heels and get ouitside in public. And, get over it

All I wanted to do was just start a little simple and fun thread about gender comparison as the old and traditional society perceives it.
(Refer to first post for example:)

Although, very good point. TU.
