    I find it so funny that the Harry Styles Vogue cover created such a huge discussion. He‘s the first solo male on the cover of US Vogue. In asian countries there‘s constantly male celebrities on Vogue covers, especially South Korea. They‘re also embracing their femininity, wearing womenswear (e.g. Sehun from EXO wearing Louis Vuitton womenswear on the July 2018 Vogue Korea Cover)
    I just had to laugh about all the melodramatic shenanigans by some people who are claiming that because Harry is wearing a dress, he‘s a threat to masculinity haha

      why are they embracing their femininity, the fuck is up with that. Harry styles showed no sign of femininity before , he was given a large paycheck to sit on a wire chair in the middle of nowhere. he put in a minimal amount of effort and so did vogue. they know there magazine isn't doing very well anymore as people are growing tired with their leftist bullshit. Theres nothing creative or mindblowing with these covers there all really stupid and are not very healthy for confused boys.

      Right? Most Eastern cultures are very strict about gender roles but our art is very gender fluid, it always has been. Homophobia and masculinity are very much a patriarchal construct and a lot of these strictness regarding male expectations comes from rigid western cultures.

Don't get me wrong, we are a bunch of patriarchal assholes with no value to women's lives but credit where its due, Eastern cultures were a lot more gender fluid than Western cultures. It was only when West decided to 'civilize' what they considered 'savages' that a lot of stricter ideas about gender, masculinity, feminity and 'men and women' procreation is 'normal' shenanigans came in our culture.

Go into a shop and look in the tea aisle for the brands PG Tips, Typhoo, Tetley, Yorkshire Tea this is all black tea and they will probably have other brands of black tea together.

    Black tea is just more specific in the UK. I think that the most popular types of black tea are English Breakfast or Earl Gray. Many shops have their house blends as well. All usually black teas. If you go to a decent tea store and ask them I'm sure they will be able to match you with stuff that you'd probably like a lot more than the generic "black tea" you get in the US.
    Same for East Asian countries such as Japan and China with green tea btw. There are many kinds.

    So Candice owens is attacking Harry for wearing a dress and using the East as an example of society that upholds masculinity. Meanwhile the East has plenty of fashion considered masculine that would be seen as feminine is the west. She highlighted how basing masculinity on fashion is arbitrary as each culture and society at different points in time has very different views on what is masculine and feminine, she made a statement and disproved it in the same breath. It's as if poorly thought out theories based on your personal aversion to an idea rather than based on any fact should be ignored as having leaders without any critical thinking skills and who lack the ability to have a balanced thought out perspective on a situation are more harmful to society. Look at the fall of any society and it really comes down to the ego of inept leaders, the kind of leaders with the masculinity that i think Candice owens is talking about.

      @@xxarahss9770 I was more making the point that judging masculinity based on fashion when the idea of what is masculine and feminine fashion around the world is differs is wrong. Also toxic masculinity in the west makes western men generally view the east as less masculine and part of that is based on fashion. So Candice is trying to frame it as people who you think are less masculine now think you are less masculine and are laughing at you.
