/fa/ - Fashion

The answer: A N D R O G Y N Y

Think about it. The stereotypical "nu-male" asserts his masculinity through tattoos and beards and other superficial traits.

The reactionary conservative male (i.e. the "anti-nu-male") asserts his masculinity through tearing down the appearance and habits of the aforementioned "nu-male," while simultaneously presenting himself as relatively anti-fashion.

But, the neo-male transcends all of this. He doesn't need to assert his masculinity (especially not through superficial appearance traits), nor does he care how his masculinity is perceived. He might (not necessarily) choose androgyny, as it removes all superficial gender-related elements of clothing. He wouldn't choose androgyny to make a statement (political or otherwise), but rather to ascend from superficiality and pettiness. His style choice would transcend gender and gender politics, and focus on more primal visual and tactile forms. This makes him a stronger man.

So I've got a question for you /fa/. What do you think about wearing the opposite gender's clothing? I'm not talking about dresses and skirts on dudes but like simple stuff like jeans, shirts, outerwear, accessories, etc. Would it discourage you if someone saw you outside and recognized a part of your outfit as being woman's?
