men aren't men anymore
(slrpnk.net)
Don't you ever insinuate i have boring socks ever again.
There is absofukinglutely nothing stopping you from dressing like that, only yourself.
They might try to stop you.
society, jobs, and weather?
Those are bourgeois categories
oh, sowie
Pretty sure only aristocrats dressed like that.
And wasn’t the makeup to hide chlamydia / syphilis etc?
Sure and perume was becase you didn't bathe ... And yet we still use both
I think it's also for the opposite? I mean, the white face, rosy cheeks and red lips were popularized due to the romantization of tuberculosis. The guy on the left could literally have tuberculosis looking at his face.
One of the many sources: https://historycollection.com/tuberculosis-became-the-victorian-standard-of-beauty/
Mark Zuckerberg, who dresses pretty much like the guy on the right, then adds a watch worth $100k to indicate his status.
The pants shirts an hoodies the ultra wealthy wear are also often obscenely overpriced versions of the normal clothes. Like Luis Vuitton's plain tshirt, with a same color embossed logo on the front, for 700$. Or this one by Prada for 2500$ (its casmere)
I legitimately do not understand
Noble vs peasant.
Maybe we have grown out as a society of that childish one-upping each other with made up rules?
Please tell me there’s a /s in there somewhere.
Have you met society? Society is a petty bitch!
Call me a sissy but t-shirt and cargo pants for life!
wasn't the make up meant to hide the lesions and wigs to hide the peeling scalp and hair loss?
I do find it weird there's been this resurgence of fixation on superficial motifs being associated with masculinity, but the guys who parrot these views all have an appearance that screams, "I want to blend in and be invisible!"
Nothing masculine about tepid conformity.
Oh look, a clown.
That there is a dandy
frankly, im not sure what point this stupid meme is trying to make.
That enforcing gender norms is stupid.
