Yeah, my thought was "Why would I care if a man wanted to wear a dress?"

Well, Jong was a part of second wave feminism, before abortion was legal and during the ERA amendment fight, so if this poem is older, it does make sense.

Yeah. Why exactly am I supposed to beware of men who want to wear dresses? They're not more likely to be assholes than men who've never donned a frock.

And, on a shallow level, some men in dresses are quite pretty.

Dear Erica Jong, I give you Brad Pitt. In a dress. Your point is invalid!
