Another Perspective on a Fashion Faux Paux

admin We received the following comment today and while we were not able to approve it in the list it was added to because of the positive comments only restriction, we felt it was worth passing on. We are not passing judgment either way, but simply felt that if a visitor took the time to share their opinion by composing a well thought out and thought provoking comment, we should make that comment available for others.

The comment below was left in response to the "Tight pants and sagging butts on guys" entry on the list of the biggest fashion faux paux.
"/span>I'm a 23 year old metrosexual male. I personally think leggings are a wonderful concept at that! I think females need to stop whining and feeling akward about men who want to wear leggings! "Gender is nothing more than a physical construct." It has nothing to do with what sex they are. Both men and women can and do actually percieve the world in similar ways. A man doesn't always like to wear heavy, thick and dark apparel. We too enjoy the luxuries of lfe like silk and nylon. Clearly a man that is well built and assertive like most men, but perhaps is better groomed and enjoys wearing leggings doesn't mean he is any less of a man. A man or woman is determined based on how kind, helpful and positive we are toward others, not what we eat, wear, sleep in, or how we act like outside of these pathetic gender roles created my society that something thought up as being the ONLY way. It simply doesn't work that way. Individuals are very complex living beings with mixed emotions, new developing feelings about ourselves and others, and our own need to be distinctive among others. In conclusion, open-mindedness and the ability to let change occur is not a punishment but a gift to express oneself and enjoy life on higher and newer levels. Judge not another and they won't judge you! Now for all the men out there. Give it a try if you choose. Fear of rejection means you are dependent on what others think and want of you.
