I was born in the mid-seventies and raised by a woman who went to modeling school (John Casablancas, if you're curious), so I'm not unfamiliar with so-called "feminine" standards of dress. I even played along with it for a while because when everyone from your mom to your school to the fucking nerds at the back of the classroom Have Opinions about how you're supposed to look, you grow up thinking that's all normal. We stick with what we think is normal until we have reasons to do otherwise. I picked up those reasons well after childhood was over. So I see both sides of this.
I’ve hated scratchy clothes since the age of two.
