Originally posted by töbias It all comes down to what is socially acceptable. Quite often the differences between genders can squeeze in a little during periods of gender imbalance and equality. Some hazard theories that females have had many years of moving from being severely socially disadvantaged to being closer to equal treatment, and athough there are still many areas such as careers in business and politics where women are still prejudiced, in social situations not many people would disagree that women are the dominant players. The trend toward men being metrosexual and wearing clothes that would normally be the domain of women provides evidence of males are becoming a little more empowered. Or, pink just looks good on some guys.

You're not credible on this topic as evidenced by your Italian football thread.

I have a pink dress shirt that I wear all the time. And the girls love it, trust me on that

Originally posted by Subey Why not wear a dress then? Can't all of your arguments about free access to colour be applied to clothing styles? Shouldn't society move past the limitations that says dresses are only for women? Women can wear suits, so why not men wear dresses? Imagine going to a wedding in 100 years and half the guys are wearing frilly dresses because we've "lost our predjudice against cuts of cloth that the barbarians of the 21st century had!" Men and Women are different (thank god). Why the need to homogenize everything?

I don't wear dresses because most of them look quite uncomfortable. When clothing is too loose, it tends to get caught on things, which would cut down on a lot of effeciency if I needed to get somewhere quickly. I don't attend formal events often, either - so there's truly no real reason as to why I would need to don loose, flowing clothing as an aesthetic statement.

Don't try to scare me with thoughts of what the future might be if men wore dresses, either - it's not that frightening of a thought when you think of humans as individuals and not as just a homogenized culture or gender. I will admit that men and women are different - there's no contesting that, but let that be decided by the person, not what they wear or necessarily what they look like.

Perhaps I have been a catalyst in heightening this discussion to levels by which it wasn't intended though. I'll be real about things - I don't wear clothes designed for women, as it would be a tougher existence trying to live past the labels placed on me, and I don't get off on transvestiteism either - it sorta makes things harder to be sexually aroused by wearing the "opposite" gender's clothing when you truly pay the concept little heed. What I am talking about though is, as usual, ideals. We don't live in an ideal world, but ideals have steered the human race into doing both great and horrible deeds in the past - what other recourse do we have? Perhaps I am living in a fantasy land where there are no barriers between souls though - am I ahead or behind? For I honestly do not know...

All I know is, these things such as clothing and skin color and genetics - they're all "sticky" things. We are so much more than that, yet we, as a species, dwell on them regardless. Part of me wants to move past it so badly; it pains me to see you people talk about them and it pains me to see people hurt in this world because of such materialistic ideas of the self. Move past it.

In a socio-ideal sense though (one that is, by the very nature therof, ephemeral) males should not wear pink. It's for women because, on a primal level, much like red, it is utilized by mammals to signify the readiness of its bearer because of its correlation to the color of the nubile human female vagina.

Originally posted by DemonicAardvark i remember a previous ta post on guys wearing pink and during the past couple of days i've seen several asian guys wearing pink. No not a pink dress shirt thats not that fukt up. But theres this asian guy in one of my classes that wears a nike shoe with a pink nike logo and pink laces..... then today i went shopping and i saw this other asian guy with a pink baseball cap wtf is that and his friend had pink streaks in his hair. wtf . Where do they get their idea of wearing pink is cool? like they are a rebel or something. might as well wear a dress to be big rebel. or maybe pantyhose to be real hardcore.

What's the big deal? Pink is a colour like any other. I like the fact that it's being liked more now within some male communities (Korea & Japan?), as it balances things out.

Originally posted by Subey I say we give women 100% exclusive rights to pink. Look at it this way. Do you really want the right to wear a dress? I don't, does that make me a homophobe because I think that style of clothing is exclusively suited to women? Dresses are a style of clothing that flatters the female form, and looks horrible on guys. Pastel coloured clothing came and went with Miami Vice... good riddance I say

This whole paragraph is sexism and is very insulting. Why not give everyone a choice? So what if you or other might not like a colour or design -- IT'S NOT YOU WEARING IT! I'm sick of people doing things like this just in the name of the rest of society. Can't anyone think of how _they alone_ feel anymore?

My cousin just two days ago was over and four out of six people in a room told her that she had to fix her hair (only because they thought it didn't look nice) when it turns out that my cousin likes it like that and I told her that's ALL THAT MATTERS. She thanked me and gave me a hug. The end. Full stop.
