Men can wear whatever they want and people won't bat an eye. Women have to be more aware because if they wear something to short they are considered as a whore or if they wear men clothes people assume they are lesbians. The list goes on and on because this world keeps putting high expectations for women. I found that disappointing that women and anyone can’t be who they are. Without people discriminating others and putting each other down. It is 2017 and we still
