This pattern — women can dress like men, but men don’t dress like women — suggests that there is, in fact, something demeaning, ridiculous, or subordinating about presenting oneself to the male gaze. Most men feel stupid, gross, or vulnerable when they do it. This isn’t just about conformity to different gendered expectations. If it were just about difference women would feel equally weird dressing in men’s clothes. Instead, when women adopt masculine ways of dressing and moving, they often feel empowered.
So, when men do femininity they feel ridiculous and when women do masculinity they feel awesome. This is what gender inequality looks like.

…Unless one of those trees decides to drop a branch on your unsuspecting face. Then you’re fucked.
Piles of signs were all over at the Occupy Denver protests- all that was asked was that once you were done with a sign, you passed it on to someone else to hold or put it back in the pile.
