The older I get.....

Sitting in the car waiting for my husband to come out of the Barnes and Noble Book Store, I noticed a young man crossing the parking lot with hair down to below his shoulders. His hair blew in the extreme cold wind and he tucked a piece behind his ear much like a girl would do with her long locks. It made me think for the first time about how restricted we are in the way we dress, what our hair looks like, and accessories we choose. Men are expected to wear certain clothing such as pants, ties, suits, and clothing for, well, for men. Women are expected to do the same although over the years they have been given more freedom to wear more masculine clothing. How does this dress code evolve? Who ever said women should dress differently than men? Why can't men wear dresses without being ridiculed at the very thought? Why do we frown when we see men with long hair or attach a certain thought to a woman who might have a very short cut? I happen to love long hair. It feels good to run my fingers through my hair and to feel it dance on a windy day. Why shouldn't a guy have that same luxury if they so choose? Out of the door popped my husband. It was time to go. I wonder how I would have felt if he had walked out of the store wearing a skirt and had long hair? Okay, no skirt, maybe just long hair.TALK TO ME PEOPLE. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
