it seems to work for women. why not the reverse(for men)? or are we chicken? reference the scottish Kilt. men don't know how to act? it's not being a woman. it's being a man regardless of what you are wearing and what other people(men and women) might say or think? Sean Connery was scottish wasn't he? why are 99% of cross dressers men? look at the history of the scottish people. historically, they have a very high per capita individual important contributions to world history.manhood is important. maybe we are causing the cross dress phenomenon by being inflexible on this. think of maybe a holiday like aprils fools except for cross dressing. a fashion holiday. for women no make-up day.etc. like a rave scheduled on the internet. or everybody's muslim day(women cover up all the way)men? who knows? I think that would be a riot. be flexible everybody!

I've used some of the most expensive anti-aging and anti-wrinkle creams from the top lines in the world. I've had companies make "custom formulations" for my skin. I have to say that LifeCell ( hTtp://Bit.lY/LifeCellSkin ) beats them all. It is the ultimate anti-aging product. For those who want serious anti-aging skin care, this is the product to use, bar none.

Its easy to explain why, its societies inability to think outside the norm. Women who dress and act like men are tomboys but are none the less accepted as women. Men on the other hand that dress as women are considered gay etc, while in reality a vast majority of your crossdressers are heterosexual men.

For one second though lets look at what clothing is, down to the very core what is an article of clothing? It is a garment intended to cover up the body and in certain times of the year keep us warm. While there is clothing that is intended for a certain gender, there isnt any real reason why it cant be worn by the other. Society deems it inappropriate, not the clothing.

So in closing, if you are a guy and you want to wear a kilt or even a dress, go for it, society will only accept it when the issue is forced down their collectively conserative throats!

this gender bending... or should I say gender blending is ridulous... I'm a woman and like a man to dress and look like a man. It's just me... Seeing women dressed like men is less than flattering and I don't even want to go into men dressed like women. geeez. we have separate sexes for a reason.
