- traditionally feminine clothing almost automatically guarantees 3x the amount of cat-calls / guys feeling like i'm looking for their intention - tech-wear grantees utility and comfort, generally combined with elegant minimal beauty that's efficient for every day use

- trad feminine clothing often values elegance at the expense of comfort, warmth, and (most frustratingly) - basic logic (if we're being honest with ourselves) - tech-wear values function & conscious material, fit, and coverage choices tied to the way people actually need to move

fun thought experience for male followers: go to the women's section of almost any of your favorite clothing brand websites and think about how much less functional/comfortable you would be if you were wearing the promoted women's looks

Only normie women would wear that stuff, because its main purpose is obviously social signaling. Did you notice that few men have favorite clothing brands at all?

Not sure that's true actually - maybe only "normie"women would wear the exact looks on the site, but either you have a bigger definition of normie than i do, or you're underestimating the amount of men and women those ideals influence imo

Also, Maybe I have an odd social group, but i'd say most men around me have default brands for the products they like

Yes, there are default brands, but in the same way as I have a default brand for yoghurt: it worked well in the past, and most of the competition did not.

I'd argue that the majority of women favor brands for the same reason, although their may be a more complicated decision pattern bc of the variety of socially necessary considerations, it really does come down to the best tool for the job

Yes, men are expected to dress generically unless they explicitly want to make a statement (usually to the effect that they are gay, or care more about appearance than getting things done). The same is reflected in haircuts.
