Mens High Heels

do you think a woman has sexual identity issues if shes wears mens clothes?

women wear pant , ties ,wife beaters (boy beater),and mens style under wear(boy shorts) if a man walked around in a dress thong and high heels would you think he was just a normal straight man or someone with issues ok say then the men wears a dress some regular womens underwear and womens sneakers

1. More possibly she dresses in a pathetic play for attention-a fashionista.
2. Men's clothes are more comfortable, that's why even straight women wear them. I don't see why a man, who doesn't want to be a woman, would wear uncomfortable thongs, high heels and dresses for no reason. So there's actually a difference, and that'd be a no for your question.
3. I think it's just another example of women showing they should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, with no consequences....that being said, I personally like when they wear mens' clothes that show more skin (such as wife beaters). I rather focus on their more-nakedness then "wearing man clothes"
4. I wear baggy man-ish clothes because I move around a lot and it's infinitely more convenient. I wear wife-beaters because on women they're just tank-tops. I wear ties when I absolutely have to wear formal wear because they're part of the pantsuit ensembles I favor (no skirts for me). I wear boxers so I don't have to deal with panty lines, and the only other way to deal with it would be a thong. I don't want those damn things cutting into my asscrack, thanks. Straight without a hint of lesbian tendencies, and I identify as female. The only reason it would be considered weird for a man to dress in feminine clothes is because our culture hasn't assimilated that. Yet.
5. No, and it depends. Clothes do not necessarily reflect anything deeper than aesthetics or tactile sensations. If a girl wants to wear boxers or a boy wants to wear panties, it could just be that they find them more comfortable.
6. I think you mean gender identity issues, and no, I don't. If a man walked around in a dress, thong, and high heels, I'd assume he was a normal, straight man with a fetish for cross-dressing- there are tons of guys like that. Similarly, if I saw a woman in masculine clothing, I'd assume she was either a tomboy or a butch-identified woman. Is it possible she's in fact a transman, figuring out if she wants to transition to male? Of course. But to assume that is definitely jumping to conclusions. EDIT: Rickey- I agree with you that women can have a fetish for male clothing as well, but in terms of clinical psychology, it's far less prevalent in women than it is in men, actually to the point where the DSM-IV describes it as male, only. I didn't mean to leave out the female cross-dressers . . . but they are pretty rare, it seems.
7. No and yes.
8. ************ Gwennie B If a man walked around in a dress, thong, and high heels, I'd assume he was a normal, straight man with a fetish for cross-dressing- there are tons of guys like that. Then why would't women wearing men's clothes be a fetish as well? I think it's more of the stigma that men shouldn't do anything feminine and making any feminine tendency something negative by identifiying it with something preverted. Women move freely from their feminine to their masculine, but men are not afforded this same freedom. Some women say men's clothes are more comfortable. How are pants more comfortable than a skirt? Besides many women wear jeans so tight I don't know how they breath. I doubt a man in a dress has a fetish. It's probably more of a taboo that would make it exciting, than again maybe he desires more than the limit placed on men. I know a girl that wore freaking motorcycle boots to work. Of course only a woman could not get fired for this. It's more of a social confine towards men, while women reserve the right to do whatever they wish and if someone dare say anything they are discriminating against women.
9. In Western society, as a very general rule, women's clothing is more uncomfortable and harder to move in than men's clothing. There are some exceptions to this...for instance, jogging suits are almost the same for both sexes, yet even in this case a men's jogging suit is more likely to have usable pockets and be somewhat better constructed and made out of better material. So, the woman who values pockets, construction, and nicer material might very well buy a men's jogging suit, rather than a women's suit. The suit intended for men is also less likely to be in a fashion color such as Sugar Coral, too (that's the real name of a fashion color of a few years back). Also, men's clothing tends to be a bit cheaper than women's, at least off-the-rack clothing. I can go to a big box discount store, pick out a navy blue polo shirt for my husband (store brand), go into the women's section, pick out a navy blue polo shirt for myself...and mine will cost from two to seven bucks more. The shirts will be almost identical, in size and cut, the only difference is that one shirt has the buttons on the left side and the other shirt has the buttons on the right side. So, all other things being equal, I'll probably buy a polo shirt that's marketed to men. If a man was walking around in a dress and high heels, I'd probably think he was a cross dresser. I really wouldn't care what he wants to wear. And I probably wouldn't know that he's wearing a thong, unless he flashed me. Oh, and ties look pretty stupid on EVERYONE, I think.
10. i wear men's clothes. i wear women's clothes. i look damn fine in both. and i like a man who can rock three inch heels. as long as i'm not hurting anyone, i don't see what's wrong with expressing my identity through various form of fabric on my body. i don't have issues because of it and neither does a man in womens clothing. oh wait, but he will have issues when people chase him down the street waving pitchforks. that's when a cross-dresser gets issues. from a male's perspective, (from what i've heard), womens clothing is alluring because it makes the guy feel sexy and desirable. (news flash: guys like to feel desirable.) and i have to agree, sometimes its worth a little pain to look smokin' hot.
11. In today's society many women have sexual identity issues although few will openly admit it). They say men's clothes are more comfortable (which may be true in some cases, such as shoes) but things like pants over a dress for comfort!? Really? Ever wear a bathrobe and nothing else? That's like a dress in a way and the epitome of comfort. Its true what Freud said about some bwomen, as well as what Plato said in Timeaus. Only the world (and women in particular) doesn't want you to know it. I'll stick with women who enjoy being women.
12. Re women ~ no, I don't. Pants etc have been normalised so much that even very elderly ladies wear them without question, even though it was only 80 or so years ago that wearing pants was considered quite scandalous for a woman. Re men ~ could be straight could have issues ~ no way to know just by what he's wearing. Cheers :-)
13. You've got to look beyond the clothes to know if a person has issues. For instance: A girl puts on a man's shirt and goes to mirror to put on her make-up and look as pretty and feminine as possible - ergo, no issues. However if another girl puts on the same man's shirt and then starts talking with a deep voice, and goes to mirror and paints a mustache on herself and insists that her name is Vince - ergo, issues. You can see that the issues are with what in the head, not the clothes. The same can be true for a man. If a man wants to challenge social convention and wear a skirt then I say, more power to him. If another man wants to wear the same thing and starts acting like a adolescent girl and calls himself Susan, well, he just has some real problems.
