Though for the most part, courts have recognized the harm to women of imposing sexually exploitive dress requirements, (111) where dress requirements are not provocative or sexy, courts have uniformly ignored the concrete harms experienced by women who are forced to conform to externally imposed gender norms that "construct, exploit, and devalue feminine attributes. However, discourses also revealed participants' belief in gender equality as a realised ideal and an acceptance of gender essentialism, indicating that their ability to 'extend the boundaries of girlhood' did not include the agency necessary to transform gender norms. Men who refuse to conform to gender norms of masculinity may also find themselves targeted for violence, as indicated by the persistent harassment and abuse of metis (cross-dressing men) reported by the Blue Diamond Society in Kathmandu, Nepal. |
