Pants, for example, are the quintesential male garment and when women first started wearing them their womanhood and sexualtity were indeed questioned. But because women were trying to present themselves as workers instead of home-makers, this ‘masculinization’ was somewhat practical. It was useful to make men see them as ‘men’ and to work in environments where clothers were more utilitarian. What many people forget with fashion history is the same thing that they forget with regular history. The Past. Tight pants, high heels and the color pink all once belonged to men. Women contrary to current times were historically the ones covered up from neck to heel while men were the source for physical flamboyance. But the root of this ‘gay’ association is essentially that a woman who chooses masculine things is pursuing the ‘ideal’ and that a man who choses feminine things is going against the ideal. A woman is choosing to be greater while a man is choosing to be lesser. It is the same reason lesbians get more acceptance than gays.
