I thought of a question I've had for a while and have always wanted to ask.
Do you think crossdressing is a First World behavior?
Quite a few of the other wives I've chatted to on support forums have felt it is. I admit I think so, too. Apparently, behaviors like this don't often exist in the most isolated tribes. That 'third gender' thing so many love to mention when speaking of tribes is not the same as cross dressing. I'd liken them more to transsexuals or even intersex. It's not about physical presentation for them. But crossdressing and other 'fetish' type activities don't seem to happen in these primitive cultures. Ever see a tribal man in a Furry suit?? A gimp mask? A wig? lol
So, are modern men more bored? Confused? Exposed to more via the media etc?
And actually, the why isn't as important as how this makes the wives feel. We wondered how clothing and wigs and staring in mirrors can take up so much of someone's head space when there are serious issues happening in our world. Often right in our own homes. Everyone is allowed down time, but the crossdresser takes it to another level. He makes his downtime a part of his personality. That's a pretty serious hobby. Yet, on a scale of life issues, how important is it really that you do this? What would you do in a situation such as war or prison, without access to crossdressing items?

I dunno - maybe Davina will lead you astray and you'll find yourself on the wrong side of the law lol.
These are drastic scenarios, certainly - does make me wonder if there were any crossdressers in the previous wars, and I'm sure some are lingering in jail somewhere. I guess they have their fantasies and thoughts to keep them sane.
And you're right, society has done a grand job at making it into a tragic behavior. There are almost never any positive sides to it in the media or anywhere. It's Madonna's song again - it's degrading to be a girl. That's what society thinks.
And as for how many men crossdress? I'd bet the number is far bigger than anyone knows. I think 5% is a numbers found in research but I do remember another one suggesting as high as 10% if you guessed how many would never even tell a survey. I bet there are literally millions of you, especially going by how many kink sites Google has available. But most will never tell a soul.
That's really quite sad.
