Fashion is a kind of abstract term, but needing to appeal more to the stronger hunters was in a females interest. She had a much better chance of survival if the man was able to hunt bigger and stronger game. Therefore using apparel to appeal to men has probably been apart of female mentality for at last 70,000 years... Yes.

It originated in the 1630's and had a military origin. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie\n\nThey became popular as dress wear back then as they were more comfortable than the starched linen ruffs that were worn at the time.

Did you know, when a man is having a suit made, one of the questions the tailor will ask is, "do you dress right or left?"  What he's asking is which side the customer's goods hang on.  And depending on the answer, the tailor will cut the pants a little fuller on that side.  Most men today, myself included, dress to the left.  In fact, I can't even imagine dressing to the right, so deeply ingrained is the habit.\n\nI know this doesn't really address your question (which, to be honest, kind of left me at a loss for words), but I thought it was a fascinating bit of trivia, being that we're on the subject of testicles and all.

Well, i had never thougth of it like that, but yes, it is.\n\nBut you have to be aware that those codes are changing everyday and this rules existed because in the past Men didn't use earings. \n\nBefore existed the code that woman were not allowed to use pants! remember!\n\nIt will eventually change and there will come the times when a man can use earings, long hair and even a purse! \n\nIn fact, i should ask! isn't all of it already allowed?

I read one reason is so their pants don't touch the floor which is considered unholy.  Another reason being that they just haven't changed their style all that much in the past few hundred years.  It's not just the Ger, the Bobovers do it too and probably some others.

Good question. I don't know the positive answer, but having seen some legitimate surveys (Harris Company did one about 5 years ago) that a sample of more than 10000 men said the average size in length was 5.75 inches and 2.5 inches around. \n\nI like that answer cause I am just a little bit longer and wider than that!

Because we live in the twenty-first century. Stop trying to drag us back into the dark ages.\n\nOnly the most conservative out there actually believe that women should not wear pants (or that they shoud be shrouded in a burqua). It's time to realize that this is one of the sillier aspects of religion with no basis in any sort of rational thought.

Actually YES! They still do even now and have allways been so during known human history. \nDuring the industrial revolution there were mainly two social classes: the owners of the land and means of production and the laborers.\nFirst there were the manufacturing workers. These were over-abused over exploited people, forced sometimes to work even 12 to 16 hours a day to earn their living. They wore plain cotton and linnen clothes, sometimes in the winter they also used woolen clothes. Since payment was very low and there was no actual compensation of the hard work, people had to primarily attend to their basic needs: home and food and there was often too little to be spent on clothing and footwear. Wooden sabots were often the basic footwear, with leather boots as a sign of distinction.\nJewels were rare and often included plain metal rings and earrings, or glass beads. Later on, as manufacturing developped, better clothing became more or less available for the masses as cotton and linnen clothes were cheaper and easier accessible.\nThen there were the agricultural workers whose status and quality of life differed and who often wore woollen garments made in house (knittings and sort) and also home made linnen. They too purchased cotton fabrics and also at times, more expensive cotton fabrics such as velvet for use in their sunday clothes.\nThe upper classes wore fashionable clothing, made from materials ranging from silk brocade, wool, cashmere, silk shirts and underwear. As allways, female clothing was extremely ellaborate and often, precious metal ornaments could be found even in footwear.\nWomen wore, in accordance to the occasion and weather a wide range of footwear, in all sorts of materials, from silk, embroidered brocade to high quality soft leather.

the word itself is short for Knickerbockers, which is the old style of pants that New Yorkers wore back in the Ellis Island days...you know, the kind that stop after the knees...

The term 'drag' used in the "sense of 'women's clothing worn by a man' is said to be 1870 theater slang, from the sensation of long skirts trailing on the floor (another guess is Yiddish trogn "to wear," from Ger. tragen); drag queen is from 1941."
