[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 547948, member: 6705"] Ouch. I can see how Eeyore might have problems processing this... However... It really depends on the set of rules that you're looking at. For instance - in Scotland, a kilt was once a thing only men wore. Women wore a DRESS, never a skirt and blouse (kilt and sark); and oh my word NEVER NEVER NEVER trousers. That was the RULE. husband owns a kilt and is not allowed to wear it to work, though we do have transgender people and no one says anything to them. (I think they're afraid husband will wear it [I]properly[/I] and go commando...) And - on that same slippery slope, why are women allowed to wear pants and skirts, but men are not allowed to wear skirts, only pants? In the 1980s, men permed their long hair and wore eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, blush and lipstick. (A la Poison, Bon Jovi...) This isn't rule breaking... It made them look better for the cameras. In China (at least a few years ago, not sure about now), only men could have fingernail art. So... The rules are different for different points of view. Would this help Eeyore any? (FWIW, I don't like it when husband wears his kilt in public - because he looks REALLY GOOD in it... To me.) [/QUOTE]
