Even a men's kilt raises eyebrows of ones gender identity!

There's multiple theories I've heard that would explain why this is.

One theory is that masculinity is seen by society as having a higher status level than femininity. Thereby, it makes sense why tomboys are far more acceptable than sissys.

A second theory is most women don't try to pass themselves as male when wearing masculine clothing. Women's reasoning for wearing masculine clothing (it's cheaper, more durable, more comfortable, etc.) is nowhere near as taboo as the commonly associated reasons why men may wear feminine clothing (sexual arousal, being a transsexual, etc.)

A third theory is it simply hasn't become a trend yet.

I've heard a number of guys say they find women's clothes more comfortable.
But women often DO look like guys (with tits) when they dress butch, especially if they have very short hair (the new Miley Cyrus look, for instance, and I see a number of women at least once a week that have their heads "shaved" ala Curly Howard.) Unless a guy is a potential TS/TG, I rarely EVER see one with long hair that looks or dresses fem. Okay, Boy George, and Pete Burns, but, other than that....
Yeah I know about the masculinity theory! Just look at how many baby girls in born into other cultures have been killed BECAUSE they were born girls instead of boys.
I think it might be a good idea if each of us ask various people why they feel it's wrong for guys to be fem, just to get a better idea of why people in general think this way.
