It is the poison of male privilege in our culture, that men are so used to being considered the norm and women a "deviation from that norm".

Some people think we're still living in the stone age.

At least in the Stone Age, they revered women for being the bringers of life.

The clothes opening and closing thing really has to do originally with class structure.

I think I have a better question. Why is a girl assumed butch because she prefers to wears men's clothes and finds them more comfortable?

I think it was less that women needed to be chaperoned and more of they needed help due to the sheer amount of clothes they had to wear. However, not all women had servants, so how peasant women's cloths be? Would the buttons be on the men's side or not, since they were quite obviously dressing themselves.

Well, they want us to be nothing more than little girls anyway: No curves, no boobs, no pubes, it should hardly be a surprise that they want us to SMELL like a little girl too.
