More jewellery for sure. Ideally, general freedom of expression for all. Someone wants to wear pauldrons, I wanna see it!!

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Make it fine for men to be dressed for business without a fucking tie.
This is already the case in every field with maybe the exception of law, diplomatic situations, and formal government (parliamentry sittings etc.). Hell in tech it's all jeans and t-shirts. I keep a white shirt, tie, and jacket in my office in case I have to go the legislature. Other than that I haven't worn one for work in years.
I've only worn a tie for the interview.
Should be just more acceptable to wear what ever you feel like. It is in big cities or if you confident, but would be nice if people felt less pressure.
I want masculin dresses for men.
Business casual that is suitable for a hot summer day. Right now the best a man can do is slacks, a good shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and boat shoes.
bring back jeans that aren't stretchy
Why non-stretchy jeans? They feel sooooo gooooooooood
Just go to a denim store. Lots of options.
