Why Does This Article About Women Wearing Menswear Feel Revolutionary?

A recent article in Esquire caught our eye

We recently released our conversation with N3VLYNNN—artist, writer, dancer, renaissance woman—where we talked about lots of things, including her frustrations with trans activists rewriting history and erasing lesbians in the process. We talked about the campaign to say that Pauli Murray was trans or non-binary, instead of a what she was—a woman, a lesbian, and a civil rights hero. (Listen to the full episode here if you haven’t already.)

In the bonus content with N3VLYNNN we talked about Janelle Monáe declaring a non-binary identity and Sasha lamented the fact that so many female artists who are edgy and unique and interesting seem to be adopting these alternate identities and rejecting the label of woman. (Visit

So, our producer, was thrilled to come upon a recent article in Esquire magazine titled “The Women Using Menswear To Explore Their Own Identities.”

The article features three women working in art and fashion who embrace a more masculine style while retaining their connection to their womanhood.
