Fashion is weird. Throughout history and cultures, man/women clothing changed and still changes wildly.
It's a bit sad that in western culture there's such a strong bias between sexes in clothing, were each sex has his own set of "acceptable" uniforms. With feminism women gained much more freedom in that regard, but men don't have much choice.
It's not unthinkable that while men tend not to care, there are men that also like pretty/colorful/different things, irregardless of their sexual preferences, but simply abstain to express due to social pressure.
- soup10 11y agoI don't really buy it, while men are expected to put a masculine spin on things, they still have lots of freedom in their fashion choices, most just choose to abstain out laziness or because they don't like drawing attention to themselves.
- tenfingers 11y agoJust to pick an obvious, big one: there is no choice besides pants. More subtle? try lace, but without giving a sexual orientation connotation to it. Color choices seem to be more neutral now, but only for older segment of the population. Under 10 years of age pink is definitely not well seen for boys, but blue is "ok" for girls to wear for an outsider.
