I have seen men wearing skirt before. But the man i saw wearing the sign was a gay man. It link to masculinity because in the American culture female are the only one that are suppose to wear skirt.. The men in American culture that wear skirt are often gay..
Gender are associate with color because when we all were babies one of the ways to know if the baby is a boy or girl depends if the the baby is wearing blue or pink.. Thats why gender i think gender is associate with color.
Feminine is every thing that is not masculine.
Massculine is everything thats not feminine.
I don't think my clothes define my identity. they only enhance it. Sometimes msny people thinkt hey need clothing to define who they are as a person. I don't think this is true. By socities standards men and women are defined by clothing. Over time the clothing standards have developed from very defined standards to loose standards. But overall certain articles of clothing are assocaited with men, and other with women. I don't think those standards will ever change. Is there anything wrong with that? I don't think so. There is a clear difference between men and women and I think there is nothing wrong with having clothes that reflect that.
I identify as male but I think that very little of that consciously enters into my outwards appearance. My attire usually consists of whatever t-shirts and pants are there when I'm getting dressed. It's not overtly masculine; I think that most of what I wear could be pulled off by any gender. The most masculine thing about my appearance is probably facial hair, but that's more male than masculine. The idea that facial hair is a masculine thing relies on the notion that biological maleness corresponds to masculine behavior.
My choice of clothing (both when I buy and when I decide what to put on) is more practical than anything else. Growing up, my elementary school had uniforms (boy/girl identification), and my high school had a dress code(collared shirt, khaki pants, dress shoes), so that was always a pretty overt influence on how my gender is supposed to present itself. I don't really consider my habits now to be a reaction to those influences though; I've just sort of decided on my own that I should wear whatever suits me as an individual. Comfort is my main priority, and most of my shirts feature some design. I like to think of those shirts as a partial expression of my personality; the same shirts are sold to men and women so it's not really a gender thing.
I do think that there's a lot going on in terms of people(any gender) trying to appear sexy... but it's not really my thing. To me, being "sexy" is only one way to be attractive, and I think the term directly implies that you want to be an object of sex appeal. That's not really how I'd like to present myself to strangers or how I'd like strangers to present themselves to me, so it's not often that I dress the part. Not that I object to people wanting to look good. I just think that whatever your concept of looking good is should stem from your individuality; if you let other people define what looking good means, then you're cheating yourself.
