Last year, my father called me up to tell me that he saw a guy wearing a dress. He was obviously looking for a "This is surely a sign of the end times" reply, but I just said "So?"
My father then asked me if I'd wear a dress. I replied "it's not for me, but I'm not going to judge someone who wants to wear one."
I can definitely see "guy wearing a dress" going from "this is horrible and the guy should be arrested for such indecency" (what might have happened 100 years ago) to "whatever" in 100 years given how attitudes changed between my father's generation (Boomer) and mine (GenX).
