Not my business, except seeing someone happy makes me feel happy!

"Intellectually, I enjoyed that Ian was rejecting gender norms and expectations. But physically, my desire didn’t match."
I think I suffer with this same issue. I support men that break traditional gender norms/roles, but I find myself uncomfy with feminine appearing straight, cis-men. I am wondering if it is baggage from being raised by very stereotypically gender conforming parents as well as being raised catholic. Hopefully with time, I will get over myself.

Actually, I do not like hyper feminine girly crap anyways. So if I don't care for it on women, why would I like it on a man? >.>

Ah good, not just me then.

About women who dress this way? The link was to an article about how a man dresses...

My take: Clothing has no gender. Long ago, women who dared to don pants were scandalous. Male fashion used to include kilts or tunic "dresses", tights, and heels. Personally, I find Scottish kilts smoking hot and modern man skirts super attractive (and in no way, non-masculine). I can totally understand being drawn to the complexity of dresses. Why does that have to be seen as emasculating?

Nevertheless, it is seen as emasculating.

@BitFlipper By some, not by others.

@Zster that's nice, but it still doesn't make it socially acceptable.

@BitFlipper You don't say? And here I thought it was the latest fashion rage! (;

And a dude in a kilt is hot! We just aren't as used to regular dresses on males - however Billy Porter rocked one at the Oscars last year and that was hot ( evening gown). YMMV....
