Aesthetic Freedom ?
In today's Western society
personal freedom of aesthetic expression is "predominantly" granted to women through tacit social conventions that they legitimize it, and the mass media and companies ride the wave...
This visible imbalance is probably due to the spontaneous and gradual elaboration of cultural legacies and educational precepts...
however, essentially, the evident social paradigm
relating to personal freedom of aesthetic expression,, it poses
its foundations on the sublimation, precisely, of aesthetics and female eroticism as opposed to the well-defined freedom of the male image, and some women exploit this small privilege with surgical premeditation,
but that's another story.......
This social aesthetic difference created 2 main anomalies :
1 - FEMALE FETISHES 2 - MALE TRAVESTITISM
1 - Female Fetishes
fashion is generous, and in its elitist cosmos it freely manifests
itself through the aesthetic creativity of stylists, creativity that the manufacturing industries offer mainly to women since men's fashion
is objectively limited by more rigid social aesthetic norms,
and plausibly this is the cause that generates the Feminine Fetishes
that countless men idealize in socks and footwear, underwear and
clothing, bags and accessories, frills and cosmetics, hats and
hairstyles ...... obviously all this produces a minimum of hidden envy
in men, but their intimate awareness is not enough to balance these discriminations because they have deep roots in the unofficial
social conventions......
2 - Male Transvestism
the submerged ritual of male transvestism is a widespread
socio-cultural phenomenon and closely connected to the absence
of a true aesthetic freedom of men complementary to that of
women who instead express themselves freely in the social
context, in fact there is no equivalent female phenomenon...
Male Transvestism is tolerated by the community,
but in reality social conventions compress it into a very narrow
sphere of action that basically means practicing it privately with
possible feelings of guilt, inadequacy, disorientation and other
effects caused by conflicts with one's own educational canons
and captious social norms,
which marginalize the intrepid men who violate them...
it is very unlikely
that Male Transvestism is a pathology, and even less mannerism, instead, probably, could be a compensatory event that manifests
itself through an expressive dichotomy whose cathartic effects
are of aid to understanding for a conscious choice of life.....
The aesthetic discriminations
act on the psyche at every level of
the community and Male Transvestism
testifies to this, moreover,
such discriminations are often prey
to shrewd opportunism ....
but that's another story....
