Stephanos, that is a very interesting view. I had totally forgotten about the Star Trek series. But, maybe the reason that this series have men and woman dressed alike is because of the feminist reasoning of equality of the sexes. Of course I have nothing against equality, I am all for it. But, for woman wearing such elaborate clothing, it does not degrade the gender. Quite on the contrary, dresses are probably one of the most enjoyable clothing for woman to be seen in (and for me I love to wear them)!
Sîdhrîs, we also have a type of renaissance fair where people dress as the era and there are productions shown of William Shakespeare’s plays. I have never gotten a chance to make it down before, but I really would love to go!
