Those examples are great. However, why is there still such a strong bias against men wearing, skirts, dresses, lacy garments, and any other traditionally female defined clothing? Women have gained the freedom to wear any clothing of their choice.

Because feminism is by definition female-centric. As is this topic. So...idk why we are discussing men in skirts here.
