I have to disagree.
Just look at the fit and cut of my wife's T-shirts compared to mine. Hers are narrow in the waist while mine are cut more V-shaped with longer sleeves and broader shoulders. There are definitely men's and women's t-shirts. Socks are the same way, there are definite differences between her socks and mine. Underwear? Woo! Talk about differences, nothing unisex there. My wife's football jerseys are the same way, mine is cut for putting pads under it, hers is narrow at the waist with slim shoulders (although she still wears her red and gold, not pink).
Here's a woman's jersey (and a good one at that
)
And here's a men's:
Notice the significant difference in the way they're cut?
It's just that it's okay for a woman to throw on a big frumpy football jersey and a pair of boxers and be comfy on the couch, but if a man grabs a soft narrow t-shirt and slim panties he's cross-dressing. The truth is that it's a double standard (and one of the few that work in women's favor).
I just find it curious.
