Clothes

     Humans need clothes to protect themselves from the elements and to provide comfort.  Society then adds the elements of  modesty, gender, and tradition.  Clothing may also function as a form of adornment and an expression of style.
     Male clothing is often more practical and allows more freedom to move and even run when necessary.  Men's clothes don't usually disguise or exaggerate the shape of their bodies and allow more modesty and comfort.  Many women think a man in a tux is at his sexiest. 
     Women's clothing is often designed to attract men. The figure is often pulled in or pushed up to exaggerate the shape, and modesty aside when arms, bosoms, and midriffs are exposed.  Movement is often inhibited with skirts and high heels, and comfort doesn't seem to be considered.  Some colors and fabrics are gender specific... think pink and blue.  Lace, satin, and see-through fabrics are almost always on women.   Many men think a woman in practically nothing is at her sexiest. 
     So, ladies, let's be brave and take a stand.  Refuse the Spanx and platform shoes.  We can show the world that feminine beauty can come with comfort and sensible style.  Men can use their imagination for a change and focus on real beauty.
