Androgyny



Androgynous
–adjective
1. being both male and female; hermaphroditic.
2. having both masculine and feminine characteristics.
3. having an ambigous sexual identity.


The music video above by Garbage makes androgyny look cool, though it is not always the case in reality.
People who are androgynous aren't necessarily gay (I think). Just men who dress like women; women who dress like men. For some it's a fashion statement. Well it's definitely bold.

I think society is more accepting of angrogynous women, like female celebs who put their spin on a man's suit. Whereas guys who put on eye liner like Lambert are more frowned upon. But you wouldn't want to see a man wearing a dress right?

It's interesting... that's for sure.

"Boys in the girl's room,
Girls in the men's room,
You free your mind in your androgyny."

    @Klex & ooi2009: the video is weird, but the more i watched it, the more it started to make sense. And it is a nice song ;)

    @savante: yeah Garbage is so edgy, and i like Shirley Manson's voice.. it's quite soothing actually :)
