I think Mr. I hit it spot on - its "sexy" for women to wear men's clothes (or at least pants and such like were considered such, now its just normal...) while it is still considered either weird or at best comedic (Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire, Flip Wilson as Geraldine, the whole Monty Python troupe, etc. etc.) - why? because most women don't think a man in a frock as sexy (like men used to think about women in pants). Until this changes, men will still wear what they do. Golly, I hate ties - wont someone start calling them "dorky" or sommink? -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

In reply to: spoot 's message, "Do you think crossdressing for men has more appeal than crossdressing for women? I think a lot of straight men sort of have a hidden curiousity about all that glamour and artifice and illusion that is behind make-up and frocks. It seems so much more boring to dress as a man, besides women already have doublebreasted pantsuits and dungarees and tees. I think the thing that keeps men from playing with it is the fear of ridicule." on 12:28:26 08/03/01 Fri
