Men simply haven't demanded equal rights yet. It's all part of the dress ceiling that men find themselves up against.

Because they look cute in our clothes and we look ridiculous in theirs.

It is acceptable to me for guys to wear a dress if they want to, the Scots have their kilt and if you have seen a sexy guy in a kilt, Mmmmmmm.

I think it depends on what you consider men and women's clothing. It isn't really seen as largely socially acceptable for a woman to dress herself all in male clothing. Yes. We are now allowed to wear pants, but generally speaking it isn't widely accepted for a woman to wear men's pants. A woman who dresses in men's shirts and pants, etc, all the time is commented on. I know a few guys who wear women's pants without an issue, since it is often impossible to even tell. Some where certain styles of women's shirts, no issue. I think when it comes to wearing things like frilly skirts and dresses, etc, it is a matter of how do you want to be treated? There is a certain expectation of being feminine while in skirts and dresses that is even expected of a woman, so if a man is dressing like that it is simply expected that he would be acting like a woman. Plus.... men just aren't built to look good in women's clothing for the most part... I've seen very few men who can pull off the look successfully.

It's because women like their clothes, having men wear them sort of invades on their fashion. I think that's the clincher here. Most of the stuff that men wear don't stand out or seem eye-catching so nobody minds anybody wearing them , but it's a whole different world for women.

Women in men's clothes take on the power of the man, which is positive. A man in women's clothing would take on the feminine weaker-sex persona, which isn't esteemed.
