Re Jamie Andrews' observations that men are constrained from
doing traditionally  feminine things like wearing skirts,
wile the reverse is not true.

This will only change when men and women are seen as being
truly equal.  As long as society sees the man's role as
being more desirable, powerful, or what have you, any
man who takes on what are seen as feminine ways and
attributes will be denigrated.  This will even be true
by other women, since they are subject to the same societal
norms as men.

The answer may be to work for a truly equal society, and in the
interim find a woman friend who is not hung up on the
standard societal norms in this subject.
