I Stand By My Words - Tumblr Posts

Okay, I just realised that when it comes to clothing, men used to be just about as tightly packed in as women. Clothes covering absolutely everything including the neck and wrists because these Edwardian asshats were obsessed with collars and cuffs. I know that it is a very popular straight trope to have men in period novels go mad at the sight of a bit of cleavage or an ankle. But can we please appreciate that it works the same in reverse. Not to mention that you obviously don’t have to limit this to straight relationships. You can have some serious gay panic over a man’s collarbone showing just as easily.

Okay thanks for your attention I’m out.
