Agree about the culture bit that you pointed out. It’s a good point. I wonder, however, whether then men could argue that women should not wear pants because we typically wore dresses? It should be fair in terms of drawing a line around our boundaries. Personally, I do not care whether men wear dresses. I care when men try to pretend they are women. Drag is an exaggeration on womanhood and I am fairly conflicted about this. I find it offensive when they use “fishy” or the b or c-words because they are jokes at the expense of women.

Sorry that others are invalidating your perspective because they are speaking up for others (some black feminists) offensiveness and not speaking from their own viewpoint. Reasonable minds can differ, and those minds can speak up directly if they feel offended for themselves.

The only reason men wear dresses is to pop a boner. I hate it when people act like Harry Styles is such a saint when he’s a white male appropriating my feminity.

Meh. He can have my femininity, I’m not using it.

I’m really not interested in dictating which shapes of cloth men and women should wear on their bodies. If it was perfectly normal for both boys and girls to wear whatever they felt like, pink flowery skirts and glittery makeup, combat boots and pants, whatever, there wouldn’t be a fetish for adult men to dress as women. The whole point is that dress codes for women and girls are repressive, we’re supposed to dress femininely to please men. That’s what the fetish is about.

This one doesn’t understand. Women can dress masculine or feminine but men can only dress masculine. Women can be free to be and dress how they want. But men can’t. It’s laws of nature and matriarchy. If you don’t like it you’re not a real feminist.

Yes, you're right. The laws of nature dictate exactly which shapes of cloth should be worn on human bodies. Any aberrant behaviour that doesn't fit in with cultural preconceptions of masculine and feminine should be punished, and that's what feminism is all about. Yup.

You’re defending a straight white male you fucking imbecile!

Oh yea, I totally agree. Harry Styles in a dress is weird. In practice I don’t really approve of celebrating aberrant behavior. In theory, I don’t mind, but I won’t be celebrating Harry Styles in a dress. It’s not brave imo, it is just weird.

Finally! Someone here with a fucking brain! Thankyou! It is weird! And Harry Styles is a virtue signalling piece of shit!

I can’t believe so many chicks are thirsty for a straight white male!
