Question Of The Day

 2. What's so bad about a boy who wants to wear a dress?

 In my opinion, nothing is really bad about a boy wanting to wear a dress. It is not written "THIS IS FOR FEMALES ONLY" in dresses, only in people's minds. Of course, it'll cause a little uncomfortable situation when he's present, but people wear not only to cover their bodies, but also to express themselves. Expressing ourselves is art. The way people talk, their opinions regarding certain subjects, their handwriting, the way they eat, and the way they dress is art, and not only taking a piece of paper and draw on it. Art is culture, therefore nobody should be prohibited to have access to culture because they dress differently. 

According to my hypothesis which I invented during class, the "don't have to, but can" became the "must have to, it's an obligation". 

During the starting years of humanity, people from both genders worked in different areas. For example, men used to go out and hunt to bring food home, while woman stayed home and took care of the children, and also did housework. Over the years, the clothes they used got adapted to the work that each gender did. Men wore pants because of their need to ilimitate their movements, while women wore dresses because they didn't need to ilimitate their movements as much as men. Thus, men could wear pants, and women could wear dresses. But over the years, the word "could" changed to "have". Women HAD to wear dresses, and men HAD to wear pants, because by that time, the differentiation of clothing by gender was an unchangeable part of culture. Their styles were maintained by so many years, that people no longer knew why they were different. And by that, discrimination started to rise only because a person wasn't wearing clothes that the his/her gender obligated him/her to wear. 

Nevertheless, in the 21st century, where things got much better for both men and women, people are being more respected than before, because of the advances in human science. A boy wearing dresses today wouldn't cause a huge scandal as it would two hundred years before.
