Gender<br />
in Fashion<br />
Besides, why should a<br />
traditionally-masculine person wearing a<br />
dress be considered a joke while feminine<br />
people wearing suits is seen as “revolutionary”<br />
and “powerful” Why should feminimity be<br />
shamed in order for masculinity to flourish<br />
There is too much potential in this<br />
world to be lost by limiting ourselves to<br />
outdated man-made dogma. Fashion is art that<br />
should be accesible to everyone, not just the<br />
Western elite.<br />
I believe if we want fashion and<br />
self-expression to become a force of<br />
empowerment and unity, we all need to<br />
unlearn the biases of the past and embrace the<br />
vast opportunity of the future. This includes<br />
not assuming people’s gender based on their<br />
fashion choices and uplifiting others instead of<br />
tearing them down.
