Updated Army Service Dress project

[FSTO]

The only criticism I get wearing those pants is that I look too good.

We have sucked roayally in regards to women’s service dress. if the women finally get something made for them I’m all for it. I’ve bought my own pants because the Logistik ones are bloody horrible.

I am of the opinion that there should not be women’s service dress. One standard for all, proper equality. Clothes fitting poorly is a separate issue from having different uniforms based off sex.

When I was in , I bought myself a nice set of Peter Storm raingear because I couldn't stand the damn CF canary suits. Peter Storm's were Comfy, dry, breathable and you almost couldn't tell the difference from 10 feet away. No one bothered me, but no one else was willing to spend the $$$ (then $350) to get a set.

Well we are a species with sexual dimorphism, in a society that has a cultural history of gendered clothing. So on one count we have cultural perceptions, which is why we even have service dress to begin with, to address. We also have the fact that women’s bodies are shaped differently to men’s. Trying to shove everyone into one thing does no one any favours - even if it’s appealing for some kind of culture war win.

Re male vs female clothing this applies to even casual clothing. That’s why men and women tend to take off their shirts with completely differently - anatomy and cultural influences.
