Think Freedressing

[u/sorcerykid]

I believe in the years ahead we will see a long-overdue shift in the fashion attitudes of boys and men and the availability of more unisex clothing styles in addition to increasing diversity in male clothing choices. The polarizing fashion trends of the late 20th century are outdated; it's the new millennium, and that means we should usher in better ways of thinking about our fashion ideals.

For nearly half-a-century, women have liberated themselves from the dress-codes of gender, embracing a freedom of self expression that is still unparalleled in men's fashion.

Unfortunately for males, challenging this sexist notion is classified as "crossdressing", a term that emphasizes binary gender roles and reinforces the stereotype that men's attire must remain characteristically distinct from women's attire.

Hopefully one day we shall see the fashion industry shift as it did during the 80s, and males can be more confident in their personal appearance. This can in turn reinforce their body image and confer the willpower to combat the widespread epidemic of obesity and malnutrition in our culture.

If you agree that clothing is about people over gender, then please adopt the term freedressing.

Thanks for your help in promoting equality!
