Why is it ok in Western Society for women to wear men's clothing and TABOO when men wear women's clothing?

Ever wonder; why it is ok in Western Society for women to wear men's clothing and TABOO when men wear women's clothing?

Why do you think Western Society is like that?

Is it because Western Society is a male dominated society, and thus must treat anything feminine as being inferior?


I find this weird because not too long ago in Western Society men wore clothing that would be considered "feminine" by today standards.

Is it comfort? Suggesting that all women’s clothing is uncomfortable so they are forced to wear men’s clothes for comfort?

Is it homophobia? A man wearing a skirt must be gay?

Is it religion? Some religions state that men should not wear women’s clothing. Again, looking to history (not that long ago) what was consider acceptable macho male attire would be consider very feminine today.

It just seems that this is an unfair double standard in Western Society that we just keep accepting and passing on from one generation to the next.

What do you think?
