Mismatched socks are not the same sort of question as boys trying to look like girls.

Oh I know that - Im just saying society has conventions that change generation by generation. It applies to music, how you have your hair, the clothes you wear, how you speak - and even make-up.

Yes, fashions and trends change and come and go. We all know that.

Something as large as traditional sexual roles and expressions are much more enduring over time though. These things are not completely universal or static, but they do not blow with the winds of fashion either.

It's really not a reasonable comparison, and either misses the point or makes light of the topic.

"Because daddy is a man and men don't wear makeup."

My 6 year old son happen to see Bruce Jenner on New Years day when they were showing all the event in the past year. He said to us "That's not right, that woman has a man's voice." I told him "you are right that's a very sick man."

Bah, fashion has gone back and forth and will continue to do so for eternity.

High-heeled shoes were originally for men. Pink, used to be used only for little boys... same with the long dress for children.
