I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

My first thought when I read op was that trousers are a relative new development.

The Romans made fun of the Gauls for wearing them.

So if you decide to wear traditional Roman dress, trousers shouldn’t be included.

But it’s still designed for men.

Pretty cool how the Romans just took a good idea from a more primitive culture. Guess there wasn’t anyone around to scream about cultural appropriation.

The Romans calling the Gauls primitive is a bit like the British calling the Americans primitive.

True, but for Gods sake don’t look in the mirror.

Took me a while to figure you were referring to native americans, not the current 'muricans
