Seen on DU

16. So, you are saying that when a youth hockey team in Alberta puts on their street

clothes, they are dressed like Rachel Maddow? That's news to me. So it is not like the clothing boys wear. At all. To say so is simply false.
That's not how boys dress anywhere, nor men. She's dressed in women's clothing, wearing make up you can see. I don't see boys wearing any of that. An open jacket or a 'dress jacket' of any sort is not 'an item from a boy outfit'. That is not how boys dress at all. A stronger case could get made around 'dressing with a masculine feeling' or perhaps 'like a man'. A boy? No.
And again, Rachel used to dress like a young man, now she does not. There is a huge difference. Take a look at how she used to dress. Jeans, white tees, an actual man's hair cut, no make up of any kind at all, trainers. That's a boy outfit. The camera called for a whole new look for her. And she's got one.
I guess if you call any form of pants, tee, or jacket 'male clothing' and only dresses and skirts are 'real woman's clothing' then what you say applies. Many times in our era, the entire difference in a piece of clothing gender to gender is color or cut. To me, if her clothing would get most boys mocked and hassled if they wore it, then it is not much like boy clothes.
If a boy can not wear it in our culture, then it is boy clothing. That is simple logic.
