ADFSDF1996 · Answer

She’s not wrong, it’s definitely an attack on masculinity since it’s a trend that is often promoted by the radical left wing. What the radical left are trying to do is make women more butch while making men more effeminate by reversing gender roles.

I’m not trying to dictate what a person chooses to wear though. If a guy wants to look like a weirdo then that’s his choice. However, he shouldn’t be surprised if people laugh or think he’s creepy.

Besides, trying to dictate what a person wears is more of a far left wing attitude. For example, I can’t wear a simple iron cross necklace without risking some ignoramus incorrectly calling my necklace a “Nazi symbol”.

ThisDudeHere · Answer

Now, on the one hand, the more men become degenerates, the less normal men have to compete with.
But on the other hand, the more men become degenerates, the greater the degradation of society at large since men primarily maintain it.

I don't know how to feel about it but my first intuition is that we should stop instilling feminine values onto men.

JackSmy · Answer

NO!! Not at all!
It's just cloth! The Scotts wear kilts, but I DARE YOU to tell them they are wearing a skirt!!
LOL!! So much of women's clothes came from men's! T-shirts, pants, shorts, and even women's underwear have names, as they were derived from men's clothes: "Boyshorts" and "Briefs"
Why is it that it is totally acceptable for women to wear things that are essentially "Men's" clothes, but not ok for men to wear things that some call "Women's" clothes?
Is it just the judgmental ones, afraid of someone being 'different' or choosing another way to express themselves?
Or is it just that many don't realize that, male or female, we all have some traits, some, maybe subconscious side, of the opposite gender?
Can a woman have a 'manly side' to her personality, dealing with judgmental and condescending men? Can a man have a "soft, feminine side" and sometimes just like talking with female friends, or shopping with his girlfriend?

Puppystarfish23 · Answer

I actually used to like Candace Owens and thought she was a bad bitch but her attacking Harry Styles on twitter for wearing a dress has let me down massively with her. There's bigger problems going off in world she should be talking about besides Harry Styles wearing a dress because honestly it's not hurting anyone and who actually gives a fuck.

Fashion is constantly evolving throughout history and culture. men used to wear ropes, klits, wigs, jewellery and pink and some of these things were even seen as masculine at the time but now all a sudden its only for woman for some reason.

Harry Styles was on a cover of a fashion magazine wearing a dress and people are acting like he's just told all men they have to wear dresses or he'll kill their families or some shit. He's a pop star and fashion icon. Pop stars are always wearing strange things. Lady ga ga wore a dress made of meat once but you don't see me wearing a lamb chop do you?

Clothes don't defines a mans masculinity how he treats others and holds himself defines his masculinity. A man will wear or not wear a dress if they want to no one is forcing them too and if it really threatens mens masculinity it wasn't that strong to begin with.

Warmapplecrumble · Answer

Biological Man is a Man regardless of what he wears.
A dress is not feminine in it self. The body that accompanies that dress is feminine.

Men used to wear skirts, dresses in the past. But after colonisation they had to wear trousers, this was done to reduce testosterone in men, as overheating the balls causes reduction in testosterone. This helps the government control the population far better.

Daniela1982 · Answer

Makes them look either gay, cross dressers, or wannabe women. I mean come on, some of those pics are obviously crossdressers, plain and simple.

AlexanderAnttila · Answer

Wholeheartedly. These are pointless acts and only serves to make fools of these men. They only try to virtue-signal and garner easy points with fans.

Biological differences between sexes are a fact and they aren't bad. We're differently built for a reason. Equal in worth, but not made for the same purposes. Fashion is one way in which we express and emphasize masculinity and femininity, yes what is manly in clothing had changed over the centuries, but the differences between male and female clothing has been ubiquitous. To try and blur these lines is to attack masculinity and femininity alike. But ultimately no amount of parading will change any fact.

The danger is in the West having too much postmodern hubris not to realize that society needs strong men and real women.

itsjustlew · Answer

Personally I’m not a fan of most guys wearing dresses unless their feminine looking but some people don’t like overweight women in revealing clothes. Everyone has their own preferences and we shouldn’t be so radical as to not let others dress a certain way because of what does and doesn’t please our eyes because others may like it and it makes them happy. If a man wants to wear a dress because that’s what they fancy and what makes them happy let them be. Gendering clothes to such an extent is extremely radical and full insanity since it’s literally garment covering our skin from exposure. Men have worn “dress” like garments since the beginning of time. Not only that buyer gender roles only exist instinctually and don’t affect style TO AN EXTENT but that’s a whole other topic

Virgo31 · Answer

Who cares if men wear dresses? Like it’s just clothes, clothes are meant to cover your body or to express yourself. Dresses do both and can be worn by both genders. No one said that guys can’t wear dresses, then would that mean girls aren’t allowed to wear pants because that’d make them look masculine? No because there is a double standard when it comes to clothes that shouldn’t exist.

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

Do I have a personal axe to grind over it? Nope. If a guy wants to wear frilly dresses, then I say "you do you". But let's not pretend that doing so is fundamentally a masculine act. Of course context plays a part. If Gerrard Butler wears a frilly dress when playing "house" with his daughter just to get a laugh from her, then I'd argue he's still seen as masculine *despite* wearing women's clothes, because it's clear he's just being an attentive and fun-loving father who won't take himself seriously. But if Harry Styles likes to walk around wearing women's clothes "just because", then it's certainly not gonna make him any less effeminate than he already was. See, a masculine man can wear a dress and still be considered masculine. But he'd be considered masculine *in spite of* what he's wearing, not *because* of it. A less masculine man would probably be seen as effeminate if he starts wearing women's clothes. It sure wouldn't help his chances of dating a feminine woman.

RoxyFoxx · Answer

Candace Owens is just a provocateur who likes saying things that will rile up the other side and get a reaction out of them. Of course, the other side does exactly the same thing. And THAT'S the real issue; like everything else, it actually has nothing to do with Harry Styles and everything to do with whether you're on Team Blue or Team Red.
As to what I think, it's just someone who did something unusual. Some people might like it and some won't. I personally fall in the latter camp. But I don't lose sleep over it.

KrisKris81 · Answer

Yes. The whole PC thing has gotten out of control. Dresses are not a patriarchy thing, they are what women have, historically, chosen to wear and, as a result, have become associated with femininity.

Putting dresses on men is not a statement of equality (or a challenge of traditional stereotypes), it is dressing men as women and attempting to reintegrate a subconscious ideology associated with traditionally feminine clothing that I don't believe will work as intended (aka making men look more female while preserving masculinity). This seems more like high school bullies calling you gay when they feel sexually intimidated; it's like those bullies have gotten into a position high enough to where they are trying to imprint their insecurity on all of society.

crmoore · Answer

I think it makes them less manly. But I wouldn't say its all an attack on masculinity. I'm sure in some cases, people are actively trying to encourage the emasculation of men, but I'd imagine a manly man couldn't be encouraged to wear a dress in the first place, so I'm guessing that a majority of these cases, these men were likely somewhat interested in this at the very least in the first place. And I wouldn't consider a man already having that inclination to be an active attack on masculinity. Trying to psychologically manipulate men into doing it would be an attack on masculinity, and to reiterate, I think that is the minority of cases.

Bananaman177 · Answer

It's a hell of a lot of money, billions and billions of dollars EVERY YEAR, to promote this shit for ostensibly no reason whatsoever, and by the way, you're a totally paranoid conspiracy theorist if you question why.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

I don't care what some males choose for themselves. But to claim that is masculine is beyond insane. The thing is, I created a thread on masculine traits two years ago. And most of the flack I received was from supposed "Conservatives" here. Because in addition to not thinking these girly men are masculine. . . but I still don't think possessing a penis makes you a man.

We are men because we embody masculine traits. And it is only at GaG do supposed men avoid talking about what those traits are.

What Are Masculine Traits?

Desire-for-Greatness · Answer

These pictures are horrific. I can't even look at them.

There is an agenda that aims to make men feminine and women masculine and distort the meaning of marriage.

There is a war on morals. Normalization of despicable things and alienization of normal people.

I feel bad for those who fell into this trap.

virtue2332 · Answer

Get over it. Its all costume. Styles come and go. For people to get all worked up and in a frenzy. If you don't like it don't participate. Its simple. We need to wake the fuck up and start acting more evolved than some of you do. If you can't do everyone a favor and lock yourselves in cages and fling shit at eachother like the rest of the apes and monkeys. We will still visit every now and then. But please stop all the fucking whining and bitching about shit you can opt out of. Trust me we all have plenty to work on me included then to give two fucks about what someone else chooses to wear. If you believe what you wear defines all that you are you are shallow and should seek professional help

Tiffany_Taylor_Made · Answer

I don't get why Candace Owens is specifically attributed to making this statement. Sure, I understand that she said it, but many people believe that men wearing dresses makes them less masculine. Either way, in my opinion, I voted "other" because I only partially agree. I do believe men wearing dresses definitely emasculates men and makes them feminine. However, I wouldn't say that men wearing dresses is an "attack on masculinity." Simply put, a man wearing a dress is nothing more than his choice, which doesn't represent masculinity as a whole, but rather himself. It's just like how women being tomboys or whatnot doesn't attack femininity. It's just their personal preference. Men wearing dresses doesn't prevent other men from being masculine as they can be, nor does it negatively criticize men for being masculine.

Exterminatore · Answer

Yes, and I also agree with scripture which states this:

“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭22:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Yaaten · Answer

Of course it's an attack (and a pretty brazen one at that) on men and masculinity. This latest "trend" is disgraceful. Men are not supposed to wear dresses, they're not supposed to be feminine.
"A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God." - Deuteronomy 22:5

guesswhoseback · Answer

It’s not the fact a man wears a dress. I could care less what he does in a free world. It’s the attention seeking behavior and leftist media pushing this “in your face bigots” bullshit. THAT is what I can’t stand.

I don’t think these people should be bullied but they shouldn’t be “celebrated” either.

DamnSam · Answer

High heels where invented for men to look more masculine... women startet to wear them as they demonstrated for the right to vote...

In the actual old time it was more acceptable that a man wears womans cloth than it is today...

The reason why is simple... everyone decides whats best for himself and only for himself... while people in the old time where forced to choose whats best for all included themself... which resulted in respecting anothers private space and decisions

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Hit damn that third dress! Wow!

Nah. A wholesome man's masculinity isn't something so fragile that what he chooses to wear affects it.

Someone who thinks mere fabric can affect a man's masculinity has a low opinion of both men and the masculinity they project.

SuccessfulHornDog · Answer

I get a guy wearing a kilt
I get a transgendered person wearing a dress
I get a transvestite wearing a dress

but the people in those photos seem to be doing it more for shock value. Hey, look at me everyone. I am a man and I am wearing a dress. I don't care about looking pretty so I will leave all my bodyhair. Or I'll wear a stupid hat to make it even stranger.

Heyyy, I have a beard and I'm wearing a dress. I'll bet I'm freaking all of you squares out.

Cherokeehp · Answer

Masculinity is an ever changing social concept. Years ago long hair, the color pink, and high heels were all considered masculine. Dresses and skirts are literally pieces of fabric and wearing one means absolutely nothing. It’s not an attack on masculinity. It’s not a groundbreaking form of activism to push back on gender roles. It means absolutely nothing and everyone should just mind their own business and worry about the clothes on their own body.

purplepoppy · Answer

It's not an attack on masculinity it just makes them look ridiculous. A man in a dress is nearly as bad as one in grey sweatpants.

Anonymous · Answer

I think a man is going to be a man, it doesn't matter what he is wearing. Similarly, a feminine woman is going to be feminine in a dirty overall working as being masculin/feminine comes from inside.
Clothes, make up, is just a very superficial layer.

Also, I wrote this to another question. A man brave enough to go against biases and doesn't give a crap about others' opinion is courageous and confident and if that's not manly, I don't know what is.

Dreamy2020 · Answer

Why can't people do whatever they want? If these men want to wear dresses, then they should be allowed to. Why does everyone have to fit in a box that society puts them in? Why can't we just be ourselves? When can we get rid of toxic masculinity? I am not attracted to men wearing dresses, but that's just me.

Anonymous · Answer

I actually love how many men buy into this idea of being more feminine, it has made it so much easier for me to sleep with women. In the 90s I had a lot of competition, now there is almost no competition as there are very few masculine men out there. Keep wearing dresses bros!

Zhisad · Answer

I find men in dresses less masculine and unattractive and wouldn't date one. But if it makes them happy then go ahead.

errorgoodnameunfound · Answer

sure, go ahead and judge these men Candace. But just remember, jeans were made were men, so by that logic, your jeans and anything not traditionally made for women makes ya less of a woman. How many girls dress like guys in today's age? Nobody bats an eye. So seriously, she can just look the other way. Not hard.

Its the jews doing this by the way forcing all of these sins on society.

Tamera952 · Answer

Quite simply, No and No. How does the outward expression of clothing make anyone "less than" and again, how would that be an "attack" on anything or anyone? Just because someone 'chooses' to be offended, has no bearing on what the wearers intent was, or is.
... And who the fuck is Candace Owen? Sounds like a moron.

jace13 · Answer

Masculine and feminine are energies, doesn't matter the fashion each will be show through.
Men poking fun at women's photos by mimicking them out really doesn't change how the man is perceived as far as masculine or feminine.
It's the individual

wittymilf · Answer

Dresses are feminine... it’s pretty hard to look masculine in a dress regardless of your gender.

I think dresses are a bit too far over the line lol, but if a dude wants to wear an androgynous type of article of clothing with feminine colors or something, what’s wrong with that? Something that doesn’t affect a persons overall profile or silhouette. If you blacked them out on a background, and it still looks like a guy or girl, I think you’re pretty much good right?

SamtheDnDgirl · Answer

Nope not at all. It seems to imply that the people who think that also think feminine things and people are worth less than masculine things and people.  I refuse to be considered less than anybody.

Eh, I'm assuming the men who wear feminine clothing are trying to look feminine. But here's the thing, these men have the confidence to wear a dress. Men who wear dresses have more balls than men who make fun of them, change my mind. Most men these days don't even have the courage to wear a suit in public.

It’s not emasculating. It’s just clothes. If you think this is so degenerate, then you’re view of femininity is probably screwed. But I guess I can’t blame you because that’s how society raised you to be.
