How did overalls and jumpsuits went from male work clothe to female fashion without becoming "male fashion" ? - eviltoast

This is kinda stupid, and just for “culture” but I sometimes see women wearing overall or jumpsuit are fashion accessories, but when male do so it’s professional clothe (and sometimes sport clothe).

It’s seems that if a man over 10 year old wear an overall of a jumpsuit it’s a professional attire rather than a fashion thing. I am not really sure on why it totally skip the “male fashion step” ? I get that the “plumber overall” isn’t really that of a dream, but a pilot jumpsuit seems like many men’s dream job.

    The 70’s where a different kind. I am puzzled when I see how some boomer react to today kids being leftist and genderfluid when the 70’s where like Men in Pink crop top, supporting Mao and Che guevara, Women burning their bra and letting their body hair grow, tons of semi violent political activists and more.

    You may wish to revisit your pre-conceived notions of the 70’s, and a bit of history.

    Also, your pejorative about boomers speaks volumes about you.

    Signed, Not-a-boomer, so doubling-down on boomer insults applies to me not in the least.
