    I have often had a fantasy of living in the twenties or earlier when a woman in a pair of pants elicited a gasp from every one looking at those two legs, entirely separated and sheathed so their exact shape and form was exposed.  Unfortunately that fantasy will never be realized because I live in a world where androgyny in popular ant threaten to make us (man, woman) all the same
     I have always been jealous of a man in a dress because that line still isn’t crossed on a regular basis in most of society.  Do not be mistaken, when I talk about a man in a dress I am not talking about drag queens or transvestites.  My man in a dress is a straight male who decides to put on a dress in the morning to wear all day.  It is not for a show or sexual gratification.
     A man wearing a dress has nerves of steel, to threaten his masculinity id such a major way.  This man wearing no pants is trying to get away with something,  He mixes our perceptions in a vaguely disturbing and alluring way.  He has chosen the classic symbol of femininity and made it his own statement of masculinity.  A man in a dress is more masculine than ever as he flaunts his feminine side.
     When my man wears pants he’s skinny because we see the mundane in his every day clothing.  In a dress he’s slender and elegant because his thighs make intimate contact with each other when he walks.  Let us follow this man out into the teeming masses of people and observe the stare, confusion and gasps from those who pass him.  Their confusion rest in the folds of his skirt.
    Even in the most liberal neighborhoods where drag queens prance religiously every Thursday through Sunday this man in a dress is somewhat suspect.  It is not the right day of the week for this type of display.  And no matter how close his thighs rub under the folds of his dress he hasn’t given up his identity.  In fact he flaunts that Y chromosome even more in the traditional clothing of a woman.
