I agree with Gloria that women are allowed more expression. Men don't spend a lot of time complaining about sexual double standards, but there are clearly pros and cons to being each sex. Not that the fairer sex doesn't have its own unique problems, but it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine that women seem to have a monopoly on the "my sex got the short end of the stick" narrative. Nobody ever conscripted them off to war or shoved them down a coal mine. I also think that the workplace, in particular, has had a conservative influence on men's fashion. This is less true today, but forever, men's clothes, whether a professional suit or a blue collar pair of overalls, were work clothes. One especially doesn't want to push the bounds of acceptable clothing at the workplace.
Yeah exactly, those most women won't take you seriously when you say things like that. Apparently dying prematurely in war or in a coal-mine is nothing compared to a life of domesticity...
