We’ve been taught since a very young age how boys and girls are supposed to act. We know that guys and girls are supposed to be polar opposite. Men are manly and women are ladylike or girly. That girls are supposed to wear dresses, want to play with barbies, and know how to cook. While boys are supposed to wear jeans and provide for the family. We don’t know exactly where these gender roles come from some say it’s scientific and there’s reasoning behind it but nobody knows for sure.

Nowadays if you see a girl wearing men’s clothes nothing is said about it, plenty of streetwear brands are using female models for their lookbooks and videos. Popstars like Rihanna are wearing clothes from men clothing lines and everybody is parsing them saying how great they look in it and how fashion forward they are. That’s exactly what women wanted in the past, they wanted to be able to do whatever they wanted with out being weighed down by these ancient gender expectations. They’ve come a long way from being expected to do nothing but cook, clean, look pretty, and just breed babies. Women have done countless of things to stray from those old views of women.
