        If I could suit up like in games that actually have good clothing options and don’t punish you for just getting every option I totally would, but for better or worse I settle for tattered hand me downs from my uncle that I have been wearing since I was 7 or so. And some hand me ups from my younger siblings that became bigger than me as a top up to the supply.

      Flügel asserted that men “abandoned their claim to be considered beautiful” and “henceforth aimed at being only useful”.

      Meanwhile, still waiting on 99% of men (or all humans, really) to start being useful.

    Or to put it another way, nothing has changed. The upper classes still dress like wankers who sniff their own farts, and the lower classes still dress with whatever they can afford that works for them.

      I am an 1,87m tall, somewhat broad shouldered dude over 40 with a bit of a beer belly and a beard (imagine a stereotypical lumberjack but working in IT)… what is stopping me dressing like that? Well… i don’t want to see people around me clawing out their eyes.

        The only thing separating you from crossdressing decently is shaving and wearing makeup right. And with the beer belly and broad shoulders just avoid tight clothing.

          And you know what!

          I’m a cis male, and I’m not even thinking this is any form of gender bending. I’m wearing them because when I wear them, they are manly.

          I’m not against blurring gender lines, it just not my style. I just hate that make fashion is basically funeralwear.

          When I die I want everyone to attend in the most colorful and creative outfits, need to make a will to ask people wearing a traditional suit to fuck off.

            That’s my problem with male fashion too. It’s all so bland and boring.

            Women’s fashion: colorful, cute looking.

            Men’s fashion: dark, drab, all the same.

            I meant someone who’d be there in person for you and can do your makeup or teach you how. At the very least it wouldn’t harm to do guy makeup like foundation or coverstick. Eye contouring and mascara can also be unisex depending on how it is used.

            Also me being enby doesn’t mean I don’t use makeup. I actually wear eyeliner and mascara almost daily. Also I manage to pass as androgynous despite being 1,81m and semi-muscular. But there are ways to hide masculine features. Only people who will probably great difficulties are body builders or have the facial features of a gorilla or baboon.

            But then again there is Azis who is a body builder, musician and absolutely gorgeous with makeup on.

    wasn’t the make up meant to hide the lesions and wigs to hide the peeling scalp and hair loss?

      Those lesions and hair loss were usually caused by syphilis which was considered wildly scandalous at the time.

        i also want to bring back balding friendly hair styles, which were popular across many cultures in the past, so much so that it was common for people to shave their heads to achieve it. look at traditional Japanese hair cuts, or European monks.

        on paper they’ll say there’s a reason for that. but I’m being the style came first, then they justified it. because if they didn’t like it in the first place, they wouldn’t have done it and created reasons for them.

    I do find it weird there’s been this resurgence of fixation on superficial motifs being associated with masculinity, but the guys who parrot these views all have an appearance that screams, “I want to blend in and be invisible!”
