“In this society, if a man is called a woman, that’s the biggest insult he could get.” He arches his eyebrows skeptically and asks, “Is that because women are considered something less?”
“I seems the world is still more titillated by a man who wants to become a woman’ than it is by ’ a woman who wants to become a man.’ The first is scandalous, the latter is taken for granted. This reflects the very different levels of privilege men and women have in our society. Of course women want to be men, the general attitude seems to be, and of course they can’t. And that’s that.”

This this this this. One of the clearest, present-day examples of patriarchy is the way women are expected to dress, vs how men are expected to dress. If a man wears a dress, he’s less than. But if a woman wears a suit, she’s empowered.
