Basically acting like man, you're accused of living up to man made gender stereotypes. Man are being taught to act like women and women are being taught to act more masculine. Does anyone here honestly think the metrosexuals and the nice guys would have survived taking on sabre toothed tigers?

BUT THE PATRIARCHY... I actually saw something that a feminist wrote saying that she feels bad that men aren't allowed to express themselves and then proceeded to say that "but other men did this to men. The patriarchy is oppressing men too" ... ... ... get that **** out of here. I really don't understand that mindset. It's a societal problem. Not a man vs woman problem. And people can say that it was an extremist feminist who said that, but when you join a group and adopt a label, your individuality is gone.
Personally, I see this as the same thing as a woman deciding not to shave her legs or armpits. She has every right to make that decision and at the same time, no one is obligated to find it attractive. A man can dress up for sex if he pleases and a woman (or man) can find it unattractive if she does. It's just a matter of finding a compromise or finding someone else you are more sexually compatible with. I mean, if this is something he REALLY wants to do and it is something you REALLY want him to not do and both of you feel like you can't come to a compromise, then that is a valid reason to redefine the relationship. It isn't a matter of dumping him because he is into cross dressing. It's a matter of being sexually compatible.
Also, trying to understand someone else's fetish is very difficult to do. Someone can try to explain to me why someone might be into idk poop or something and I can listen to why someone might find that sexy and I can respect that their brain is wired to find that hot, but no amount of understanding is ever going to make poop play anything I want to explore or be okay with a boyfriend who insists on having it within our sex life. I'm just not into it and will not partake in it. Ever. Am I close minded for that? Nope.
