The "things" that have historically dictated men's fashion usually involve being shot/stabbed at. Usually by force of draft.
A lot of men's clothing comes from the battle field. I'm not sure that counts as a privilege as this article would have you believe. Not everything male is a net positive.

- Lio 10y ago> Which clothing comes from the battlefield? Examples from the top of my head and without verification: * Trenchcoats. Used in World War 1 by British Officers. * Fishtail Parkas. As favoured by Mods on scooters. * Combat trousers. Were a big 90s fashion trend. * MA-1 style bomber jackets. * Boots with a heel. Originally used to keep feet in stirrups by horse cavalry soldiers. I would imagine there were many more. William Gibson uses this trend for military fashions as a subplot in his Blue Ant trilogy.
- exstudent2 10y agoIn addition to Lio's list I would add: * Ties/cravats * Belts * Watches * Epaulettes * Hair styles
