    Serious answer: because things are fucked up and men are allowed to look however they want, but women are forced to look all young and sexy

      It’s even more fucked up: men can’t look however either but can’t venture too far into pretty. Men are far more likely to get flak for dressing pretty, wearing make up/nail polish and so on than for looking bland and generic. For true equality a man in a dress should be as normal as a woman in pants.

        Well… yeah, this happens too. And I want to wear pink and smell like flowers, yet in some areas this would lead to trouble

      I surely haven’t done that. The person who forced women to do that can come out and confess now.

      Wait, how do you know!!!

      It’s them!!! Get em!!!

        Lol. I am quite sure that if I inspect my biography close enough, I will find instances where my behaviour amounted to that. Did I ever want that? No. Does this change the history? Also no

        Edit: also. Do I see that I have much more socially acceptable freedom about my appearance than my wife about hers? Sure as hell yes
