Traditionally, society has tried to celebrate the differences between the genders. Why can't each gender have things that are unique and special to them and help them to be proud? As for why girls can be accepted dressing as boys, but not the other way around, there seem to be at least two factors. The first factor is that women's groups have fought for women's equality, but men have not been interested in dressing as women for the most part to organize and fight for it. The other factor pertains to sexism and homophobia. In light of feminism and sexism, everyone can see why women would want to be more like men, sense men get more respect. But why a man would want to trade to a position of less respect is a mystery.

Nobody knows for sure why there is a double standard. This should NOT be frowned upon as everyone is EQUAL. At any rate, boys can wear dresses too if they want, even though it is often frowned upon. If they choose to do so, they should discuss it with their families.

As far as many are concerned, whatever WOMEN can wear, men should ALSO be able to wear.
