Curated Tumblr

Eh, mainly because dicks.

I've worn kilts. Not my thing, it turns out.

I've also had dresses on. Not my thing, but I liked making my friends happy, and I worked as a bouncer at a drag club, so happy sometimes meant dressing the big, hairy weightlifting dude up in pretty dresses. Again, not my thing, but fun anyway.

But I noticed something pretty damn quick. Even in the kind of sizes I was wearing, even with underwear on, that dick is going to be obvious. With no undies, that thing flopping around under a dress is silly as hell, and very visible. Like, even standing still, it's obvious, but you try dancing and not having your dong move the fabric.

But a kilt? Not so much. The pleats of the fabric ones hide your junk better, even when doing something stupid like tossing a log. But leather ones? Good to go entirely. You just don't show.

Now, I'm not saying that's the way it should be. I'm of the mind that there's nothing harmful about flopping dong at all, and not even hard dong as far as that goes. But I'm not in charge, and there's a lot of people that would object.

So, dudes get stuck with heavier fabrics and other tricks to keep the dong from being as visible.

But, any dude wants to wear some light, pretty stuff? I'd support them. Just might have to tie the dong down

That's the question. It's the perception of others and conformity of traditional social stereotypes. The more someone has bitten into old gender stereotypes and roles—or just gender in general—the more it's of concern to them. It's the same as buying into hair colour, tit size, height, etc. and thinking these define you somehow, based on old sociial opinions of them. But the truth is, it's all faux. Man-made. Nothing in the universe cares about it except human society. If there were no society, you would not know what these concerns are. You would wear whatever the fuck you want because it's all about practicality,.not having an identity projected toward stranger's opinions and society.
