I agree with both previous replies.
I would like to think men may one day feel free to enjoy the feel good factor but I doubt it could be anytime soon. I was pondering this over the past few days and came up with a thought - maybe we were so uninhibited in the 70s/80s simply because it was not yet socially acceptable to be homosexual. Everybody could be assumed to be straight by default. Ad I think it was generally assumed that homosexuals might be less than 10% of the population. So homophobic men did not worry about their sexuality being in doubt and they wore whatever they wanted to. But now it's assumed to be nearer 50/50 homophobic men are preoccupied with concerns about being misjudged. As I say this thought is only 48 hours old so I'm only floating it for discussion.
