Joking apart, I just don’t understand how far we have regressed in gender / sexual stereotypes.
The fabulous Annie Lennox has short hair and wore masculine suits, no one ever questioned her womanhood. Apart from the odd myopic, elderly relative no one doubted whether Boy George or Marilyn were men.
The sex symbols in rock had long hair, flowing and / or lacy clothes and wore make up. The cool girls had short hair cuts and bovver boots.
Men had perms and highlights, women wore donkey jackets. Eyeliner and heels were for all.
Why so backwards now? I used to think gender identity was fine and everyone should express what they want. Suddenly I’m like WTF is gender identity.
Why have we moved backwards?
