Thank you, thank, thank you for saying all this!! I'm a 17 year old girl living in the UK, and everything you have said here rings so painfully true! I'm also really concerned about and bothered by the issues of objectification and the expectations of girls that you have written about here, and it's just so wonderful to see someone stand up and say it exactly how it is! You're wonderful, you really are! *Hugs*! Thank you, thank, thank you for saying all this!! I’m a 17 year old girl living in the UK, and everything you have said here rings so painfully true!

Why should it be socially acceptable for the girls to wear both female and male clothing, whereas guys can only wear male clothing or else they would be labelled gay or transsexual? I know that there are certain girly styles of clothing that I wouldn't be caught dead in (except maybe for halloween) because they are way too feminine, but the media and department stores should push for more kilts, tunics, pink colors, masculine toe rings, masculine matte nail polish, etc. for males because I think that the fashion industry is VERY UNFAIR to males. We need to get rid of the stigma and stereotypes here. Just because a male dresses more feminine DOES NOT make him gay!!! They could be very well transvestite (lots of straight men like to experiment and cross-dress) or be looking a little more feminine in a demure way than (most) other males, but not feminine to the point that they "look gay." I mean, society as a whole doesn't label females gay because they dress in jeans, sneakers , and t-shirts, right? Women have fought for their rights in many areas for DECADES and they have won equality with us, so now it's our turn (the guys) to win equality with the women!!! Just some food for thought!
