Ask me anything   gratuitous pictures of myself   Facebook   

a collection of amusing and pulchritudinous pictures that are relevant to me

kataklysm: scrapscallion: When we talk about androgynous fashion, we usually mean female-presenting people in outfits that incorporate or echo menswear. One seldom sees male-presenting people doing the same with womenswear, at least in the mainstream. I think some of that must be a side effect of the privileging of traits, roles, and characteristics associated with masculinity over those associated with femininity—a woman in masculine-associated roles or clothing is moving in the direction of higher status and increased social privilege, at least implicitly; a man in feminine-associated roles or clothing, lower. We associate women in menswear with freedom and assertion; men in womenswear with deviation, grotesquerie, and parody. How fucked up is that? Good commentary, and FUCKING EXCELLENT OUTFIT.

    Androgyny goes both ways. Or should. But society can be brutal on men who want to be femme. The loathing of the female...
