What Will Men Wear When Women Wear Trousers? ― An Update

Back in 2010, I wrote a three-part series dealing with the feminization of men from the beginning of the 20th Century through the first decade of the 21st Century. I concluded that male feminization will continue unabated through this century “if the changes in society continue on their current path.”

Five years later, there has been no change in that “current path.” Females continue to break through the glass ceiling and gain more power in both the public and private sectors of society and in its place is a new glass ceiling that is confronting the males who do not have the education to compete with females.

More often than not, males in the workplace are now stuck with the jobs shunned by the better educated females, that is, menial and/or labor intensive work. Or they will become househusbands doing the cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing, while their female spouses bring home the bacon.

As I wrote in 2010, as this change continues, “females will probably dress the same as they do today, that is, they will wear some kind of bifurcated clothing most of the time, but they will have the option to wear a skirt or a dress whenever they feel like it.”

On the other hand, boys will become more dependent on women and will "dress to please and attract a female mate, that is, they will dress to expose and show off their physical assets, which they can best accomplish by wearing tight, revealing, skimpy, and sexy styles of clothing, similar to what females wore when they were in the same position.” 

Back in 2010, commenters dismissed my predictions and equated them to gender role reversal science fiction. But five years later, I believe my predictions still have a lot of merit because nothing has occurred to reverse the trends of the last 100 years as today's 20-something females are leaving their male counterparts in the dust. 

Whether men continue to become the new women or not, I refer you to what I consider a bellwether of the feminization of mens' fashions: Juan’s blog, The New Male Fashions for the Alternative Man, which closely follows current trends on the cutting edge of male fashions. 

This past week, Juan’s blog featured some of the most feminine menswear yet including the four sample above from the Spring 2016 menswear collection from Goddess. (Yes, that is a male model modeling menswear.) Admittedly, these fashions are not mainstream… yet, but may be an indication of things to come. Men may or may not become the new women in our society, but they may be dressing like women real soon now.

  1. Dear Stana,

    I think it's a shame that the young man in today's main post photos does not smile in any of them. As I've written before, virtually everyone looks much better when they smile in photos. This young man looks either sullen, unhappy, or even angry. And he has a very pretty face. Most of we genetic males who dress as women do not have a pretty face, so we would probably look more sullen, unhappy, or angry than today's model seems.

    So, please girls, smile when you're being photographed. Obviously, everything I've written is my opinion, and you certainly can disagree with me and ignore my advice.

    But this girl smiles in every photo.



    1. I agree with you 100%, Sheila!

    2. Thank You, Stana. I love smiling when I'm being photographed while femulating. I always am filled with joy just being completely dressed and made-up as a woman, and often when I'm being photographed, I'm thinking of how WONDERFUL I feel as a woman at that moment ... I couldn't help but smile glowingly!



  2. All catwalk fashion models look sullen and unhappy, probably because they are starving.

  3. Women dress how they do to accentuate their bodies to attract men by becoming more feminine. Women aren't attracted to feminine men, why do you think women would want men to dress that way?
