Social norms say that a boy or man does not dress like a girl or a woman.

Should they never change then? Even if it takes a few 'pioneers.'

If everyone was like you we'd all probably be wearing nothing at all (which come to think might be a good thing). The first person to suggest wearing clothes would've been shouted down. 'It's just not NORMAL!'

Jesus has fully paid our debt at the cross - there is nothing that we can do to redeem ourselves. This is the good news(or gospel) God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, so that no one shall perish but insead inherit eternal life. (John 3:16).

Now someone will accuse me of prosyletizing. Keep in mind that I rarely do so - I in fact shy away from the Relgion forum - I prefer politics.

However if someone asks me a direct question or speaks about a biblically based topic, which DontH8Me did, I will answer with a spiritually or biblically based answer.

How could I not.

After all - it was Mr. Penn from Penn and Teller (Mr. Penn is an avowed atheist) who said "How much do you have to hate someone - if you believe in a heaven and a hell - to not tell them how to avoid that hell?"
Baaaaaaahhh...

How do you know what constitutes male or female clothes? If you're so sure about your OPINION, then the FACT that both the son and the dad were able to purchase matching red skirts kind of blows your idea out of the water, no?
Uh, no.

Anyone can walk into a store and buy something, that doesn't mean it was designed for them. It's not my OPINION but a FACT that womens clothing is designed for women. I'm not even sure why you would try to argue that point.

As far as these two go...the dad is in some sort of wrap or skirt and the son has on a sundress in a different shade of red which blows your "matching red skirts" claim out of the water, no?

IMO this kid is either gay or transexual or will be spending time in therapy later. Dad can support him without wearing a dress and painting his nails but it's no matter to me either way.

Are you sure?

kilt(klt)

n. 1. A knee-length skirt with deep pleats, usually of a tartan wool, worn as part of the dress for men in the Scottish Highlands.
2. A similar skirt worn by women, girls, and boys.

A "skirt" for both genders.

Toga:

Women in ancient Rome wore togas before the 2nd century BC, when the stola, or dress, became the only thing acceptable. After the 2nd century BC, only prostitutes wore togas
