I think we all do a pretty good job of trying to understand crossdressing and what it means etc. We also try and help wives understand, and share opinions and thoughts as that is the only real way forward!

So I thought this recent article was a fitting perspective for the men to read. This reality is the reason many wives, and women in general, can resent the whole thing. It is not fantasy or fun out there for us. For a young woman, it is exactly as this article explains and I have friends with teenage daughters who have witnessed this behavior while they have been with them! It's depressing. I remember clearly every moment of harassment and ogling and yes, being grabbed in clubs because I looked hot in a dress and therefore must be asking for it - and I'm still scared of men in cars driving slowly past, even as a mom pushing a pram! I honestly think women get so tired of it, that they eventually stop wearing anything that shows they have a female body. As you have all noticed! Can you blame us?!

Anyway, food for thought. Crossdressing is the male version of 'woman', and it can be so very far from reality, and this is something men must acknowledge if they're to understand their wives reactions. Or have their wives understand them.
