“Everyone wears clothing, yes? Society divides these clothing up into Men & Women’s, Boys & Girls’, Jr. & Miss. But society cannot decide who wears what. While the fabric may be cut to suit a traditionally male or female body (boy or girls body), the second the buyer purchases the item, that clothing no longer becomes 'boys' or 'girls' clothes, but rather, the buyers clothes.

She sat down."What's you name, dear?""Lara,"she said."Now, Lara." Maxx said, looking down at his paper to remember the line, "what we have here is a very interesting case study- a female objectifying me, a male. It's so unusual that I can only assume you're making an attempt at humor."Lara stood up again and shouted, "I'm not keeding! Take off your clothes."He nervously looked down at the paper, and then looked up at all of us, smiling."Well, it is certainly important to subvert the patriarchal paradigm , and I suppose this is a way.
