it is the year 1800
a little girl sees her brothers wearing trousers
she thinks trousers are really cool
she asks her mum if she can have trousers just like them
the mum thinks her daughter should be allowed to.
the mum makes the girl a pair of trousers.
"oh god what are you doing" everyone says
"trousers are only meant for boys" everyone says
"it will make her a lesbian" everyone says
"she needs to dress like a girl" everyone says
"she will get bullied by the other kids" everyone says

it is the year 2000
"i can't believe that there was a time when
they didn't think it was ok for woman to
wear pants!" everyone says

it is the year 2300
"i can't believe there was a time when

them they were," everyone says, "we
have much bigger issues to worry
about and what clothes someone
chooses to wear is really the least
of our problems."

Totally agree. I can't wear pants because of my religion(I'm Apostolic). I wish ppl didn't make such a bid deal out of it. There's more important things to worry about on this earth like global warming, starvation, and endangered species. A girl who wears skirts all the time should be the least of their worries.
