3. There is sexism against men in the fashion area
Mon Nov 17, 2014, 01:22 PM

Men are supposed to look pretty much the same day after day. Dark suit, white or light blue shirt, blue and red tie, black shoes.

If they deviate from that "uniform," then they will be criticized. Look at a meeting of politicians -- they're all dressed exactly the same. If anyone tried to show any creativity, they would get flack.

It's the complete opposite of what women endure, but it's sexism just the same. Men cannot be "fashionable."
