Women may not have been "allowed" to wear pants, but they were never required to wear hoop skirts, corsets etc etc etc. They chose to do so, as a fashion statement. It's the same as high heels, women are not required to wear them, they generally wear them because it makes their legs look better, or makes them taller. Most men don't really like to wear ties, they choke you, but they do. In some professions, it lends credibility, it shows professionalism. Would you like to go to a banker, or a lawyer that had his shirt open to his belly button, wearing gold chains, and flashy rings, and ask him to handle your estate? Feminists take things to the extremes, every little thing is an affront, a challenge to their being. Most men don't have a clue as to what women complain about without the feminists, what do you think the feminists do to their heads? LOL LOL.

The socially defined roles of men and women can be equally oppressive. And being among the first generation of men trying to sort out in the 70s what women were saying they wanted and what they really wanted was a tad difficult, since women were still sorting it out for themselves. "Though woman needs the protection of one man against his whole sex, in pioneer life, in threading her way through a lonely forest, on the highway, or in the streets of the metropolis on a dark night, she sometimes needs, too, the protection of all men against this one." -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton, History of Woman Suffrage.
