MODERATORS
Picture is slightly altered and made to look like an unaltered book page, but still I think it represents the source well.
You can see the smudge on the “or” is present in the original too, so we can tell that it was copied from there.
For a moment I thought the coat she is putting on/taking off was part of the other lady's dress. I was intrigued by where her left arm was going.
It's too bad that "modern" people can have the attitude of "If it makes you happy, go for it". Everyone wants to tell everyone else how they should live.
She just wants pockets, I don't blame her.
Less wholesome if you were to ask the authors about a man feeling that he looks better in women's clothes.
“A simple question of good and evil” is kind of a funny phrase 😆
"Also, women adorned in traditionally men's clothes are hot!"
I have my suspicions those are not men's clothes, but we're designed for her specifically.
Are we?
I know I am, look at that figure.
Her outfit is literally killing her, humans aren’t naturally shaped that way
She's asked the artist to give her the hourglass figure and the artist just went "okie dokie"
Asking for women - does a suit make your waist than thin? Cause dayum
No but a sufficiently suffocating whalebone corset probably will.
men’s clothes are just about gender neutral. i guess back in the day, women weren’t supposed to wear pants… but in modern times only a suit and tie are really pushing it for a woman to wear.
but just about everything else is considered normal.
but if a male wears a dress, everyone loses their minds.
can’t even go to a pilgrimage in peace without getting questioned smh
I have a few kilts, don't wear them much. They're really not all they're cracked up to be. And not with my scrawny legs.
Women I've dated, and my wife now, hated to see me in a "skirt". I mean to say they were visibly repulsed.
Such a gd simple thought and somehow we humans like to make everything so stupidly complicated. You can wear X but only if you're Y and not in combination with Z because then you're a bad person.
It's so tiring.
