Freedom of Expression: Clothing

        Women can wear anything but the amount of skin they show or don't show is always a problem for most people who don't know how to mind their business. Men are usually forced to wear shirts and pants/shorts and if they wear anything else, like skirts or dresses, they are seen as weak or stupid. Clothes have always been a form of protection but they've also been a form of expression. What someone decides to wear should not affect anyone around them in a negative way. Fashion is a form of expression and people have the right to feel comfortable in what they wear. People find women in suits or men in dresses or skirts to be less womanly or manly than those who wear what society has deemed correct. Some women like to remain more covered up than others and that's okay but some people don't think the same way. A woman can be wearing a tuxedo to a dance or a meeting and suddenly, she is considered gay or a prude when in fact no one but the woman in the tuxedo herself really knows. The same can apply to a man. If a man is seen wearing a dress or a skirt, he's suddenly labeled as gay and a joke. The fact of the matter is that no one should be treated differently based on what they  wear.
