Drag me if you want but I feel like a major problem with liberal/Western gender ideology is that it’s so focused on aesthetics. Like “Look at me, I’m defying gender norms by wearing a dress/suit/makeup/whatever.” Like okay but what about defying gender norms via the breakdown of behaviour? What about acknowledging things like male entitlement, aggression, perceived weakness and submissiveness, the expectation of women to perform emotional labour etc. If we don’t actively work to break down oppressive and dangerous gender stereotypes, what is the point? Defying gender norms and identities can’t just be limited to clothing, hair, and makeup

Kot shouldn’t be limited to that, but the aesthetics are still a good first step.

It really isn’t tho because aesthetics literally don’t mean shit in the long run. A man can put on lipstick or some shit and “defy gender” but still go home and beat his wife or catcall women or expect his gf to perform the majority of the housework. If we REALLY want to defy gender norms then we have to completely unlearn centuries of bullshit as opposed to putting on a bow tie or a liquid lip and calling that “baby steps”.
