Replying to the piece you quoted - in the US, at least, there is some very intense male wardrobe enforcement surrounding the "goal" of not "looking gay." It tends to drop off with age, at least.

you are the media you consume.

I'd wager that there will be just as much backtalk and frowning when a man is, say, giving a presentation while there is an erection clearly outlined in his trousers. While everyone should know that erections can be involuntarily.

That is why men need a pessiere to not only keep the stuff from dangling uncontrollably but also - with clever padding - enhance looks and hide erections!

Idea shamelessly copied from Gerd Brantenberg

Gerd Mjøen Brantenberg (born October 27, 1941) is a Norwegian author, teacher, and feminist writer. She is also the cousin of radio and tv entertainer Lars Mjøen.

Her most famous novel is Egalias døtre ("The Daughters of Egalia"), which was published in 1977 in Norway. In the novel the female is defined as the normal and the male as the abnormal, subjugated sex. All words that are normally in masculine form are given in a feminine form, and vice versa.

and opression, I wholeheartedly support the late Prince Claus on his "Declaration of the Tie" in 1998. See here.

A fine example of his mildly-rebellious attitude toward protocol was the "Declaration of the Tie." In 1998, after presenting the annual Prince Claus Awards to three African fashion designers, Claus told "workers of all nations to unite and cast away the new shackles they have voluntarily cast upon themselves", meaning the necktie, that "snake around my neck," and encouraged the audience to "venture into open-collar paradise". Then Claus removed his tie and threw it to the ground.

But here too the trend has been the other way...
