  • The violent history of menswear is not only evident but it's deeply rooted in idea of masculinity, and not in a toxic way. Naysayers will say classic menswear is feminine and for sissys, but I'm here to debunk this falshood. Menswear's violent history can found everywhere from suits to boots to winter jackets. I'll tell you why the violent history of menswear is not a bad thing, and lay down the proof that mens classic style is masculine.

    Another aspect to men's clothing in addition to it not being feminine nor sissy? Just because I suit up daily doesn't mean I'm gay.

      @DemetriosLevi  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hahaha! Bro, I can totally relate. It's an odd and sad thing. Men throughout history dressed well until literally the late 20th century. Funny enough, the one man who loved my style and complimented my clothing was my grandfather, who was as straight as they come and a tough Sicilian who was in the army and worked as a gasman in the toughest neighborhoods in Detroit. But now for many men being masculine is equated with barbarity; I don't think it's a coincidence that this paradigm shift started with Gen X, the Children of Divorce, where many men grew up without a father. It's a strange world we live in...

    As someone who spent decades in the military - all the clothing is untailored and poorly fitting , made by the lowest bidder and uncomfortable ( we dont own it so it must stay the printed size so when its returned the next person will at least get something that conforms to the label ) "It is supposed to keep you alive not comfortable" is the cry of DI old and new .

      @@DemetriosLevi you probably saw dress uniforms used only for sarimonial events, They also tend to select people photo-ops who just have bodies that look good in the standard uniform sizes . But when we are running around with guns we are wearing baggy camouflage with all kinds of stuff strapped to us. Historical there was only one uniform for all occasion and they were really chosen on the bases of price( British red coats wore red because there is no less expensive pigment then iron oxide ) and the union blue uniform was chosen because there are inexpensive blue pigments ,they used wool because it was less expensive then cotton or linen as it was a byproduct of mutton production . Its just you have been conditioned to think of it looking good but those who could at the time did not dress like that .

      @MrJorisproductions 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn't make it good... Killing is a bad thing. I think the obsession some men have with violence is a form of toxic masculinity. Wear whatever the fuck you want and what makes you feel good. What is perceived as masculine or feminine changes with time and is highly subjective.

    • @DemetriosLevi
      @DemetriosLevi  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@MrJorisproductions I understand your point...killing is a part of our fallen nature, but sometimes it's the only option when defending our loved ones. If nobody fought Hitler than he would have won. People will attack and sometimes we need to fight back. Violence is what men gravitate towards, unfortunately, it's the barbaric animal in us whether we like it or not, so we must channel it in a good way (martial arts, sports, etc) or else it will manifest itself into evil. Context matters.
      What is masculine and feminine is indeed very subjective (pink, tunics vs pants, even makeup to an extent), but there are still things that we naturally gravitate towards and manifest in certain ways. You indeed can wear whatever the fuck you want and what makes you feel good, but it can come with a price socially, mentally, or even land you in prison, so I say take it with caution haha!
