ngl was strange to see little girls in Boy Scouts uniforms. God I hope I don’t see little boys in Girl Scout uniforms.

Interesting that we think it's ok for women to wear mens' clothes but not for men to wear womens' clothes
that's probably because some women are capable of doing man work and man work requires man clothes, for various reasons
idk, the other way around... high heels were initially a class thing and it was about the length of the heel for you to ride a horse (heels are for horses, and the legacy persists today in shitty sloped shoes) stockings were probably originally for men because women showing their legs is quite unchristian/jew/muslim
basically, "woman's clothes" is a category that largely used to be also men's clothes
short skirts? ever heard of a tunic? tall boots? just have a look at what firemen wear... short shorts? rugby uniform... cut off jeans? i am embarrassed to say that this used to be a woman thing and now is relatively common man thing
i think that such conventions outside the context of the use case of the clothing are stupid
you wear armor if you gonna swing a claymore, you wear a plate carrier if you gonna go out shooting bad guys, you wear stockings if you are cold
Not really. If by "women wearing men's clothes" you mean e.g. pants, ok, it's more like pants aren't considered to be "manly" anymore.
Actual men's clothes that are still considered "manly" like men's suits are considered as weird on women as women's clothes on men.
