Anyone else “icked” out over males dressing “feminine”. Anonymous 119046

So, I have always thought myself to be someone who was interested with the ideas of the left/progressives.

Likewise, that extends to the LGBT community — especially as a member, myself.

And it has always been taboo for males to dress similarly to their female counterparts though I believed that shouldn’t matter.

Clothes are clothes and whatever.

However, I hate to say that today my opinion on this has changed.

I hate to admit that it seems as if boys and men are even more creepy with their skirts and blouses on.

There is a certain uncannyness to it and no it’s not the fact that they are wearing “feminine” clothes. But wearing these clothes makes them more invasive, entitled and they talk in such a way that feels so ghastly and unreal, et cetera.

Again, I don’t know if this is being explained properly but it’s like they are a performance of a performance, you know? Like, their mimicry of something as illusory as femininity is uncomfortable. Even the more “lowkey” or subtle ones emit massive creep / predatory vibes…

This also extends to transwomen and I feel terrible to say that, too. But I have always thought that there is this dissonance between “femboys”/ transwomen and cis women.

Cis women can perform the false femininity and it can be uncomfortable to see but more in a sympathetic way, you know? Femboys and transwomen have the same eeriness to them as skin without its muscle and bones— it’s so hollow yet it demands that you don’t acknowledge that having just the skin doesn’t make you an entire human being.

An odd metaphor, maybe. But I suck at explaining things.

A friend of mine related something similar regarding men wearing facial makeup irl. Even at a light "natural" level it sent waves of disgust through her body. The reason this reminds me of that is she had used to say that maybe if men want women to be more attracted to them they should put some work into products like that, too. But when she met some hetero irl examples, all she wanted was to get away.

Yes. They do it to appear non threatening because well, oftentimes these types of moid are threats.

It's cringe if they do it out of their own perversions
Hot if they do it when you want them even though they feel uncomfortable

This could just be poor application. Light foundation by itself washes you out and tends to make a face look a bit uncanny regardless of gender, though I guess with men this might have a greater dissonance.

yeah, i realized this when i imagined men wearing skirts just out of practicality, because skirts are comfy. but i realized the mental image of a man wearing a skirt just is inherently repulsive to me. not sure why since it's just a piece of fabric but there's just something very gay about it.
i like it when men take a genuine interest in femininity, but when they bastardize femininity into a product their own flawed perception, and pretend like they're a part of the female experience after putting on a skirt, then that's when it becomes gross and creepy.
femboys who do it out of perverted pleasure are obviously lost creeps

>Is it bad form to wear underwear while wearing a skirt?

What do you nonas think of 'male coded' historically feminine things that moids use to get around the feminine association? Like e.g. tights that have dudebro brand names ('gymshark,' 'tap out,' 'underarmour') written on the waist in bold masculine lettering to make it more acceptable for a moid to wear them? Does this mitigate the ick at all or nah?

I've only ever seen gay men or trans women dress in feminine ways. Trans women are always uncomfortable to be around, because the point of dressing in feminine ways is to invade female spaces. Gay men don't really do that, and so I don't really care. I think femboys lean between them, because from what I know, many are twinks that eventually get egged into transitioning.

I don't really care. Most male hygiene products that do it turn out to be shit.
