托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
The line of demarcation between the dress of women, priests, and servants, on the one hand, and of men, on the other hand, is not always consistently observed in practice, but it will scarcely be disputed that it is always present in a more or less definite way in the popular habits of thought. There are of course also free men, and not a few of them, who, in their blind zeal for faultless reputable attire, transgress the theoretical line between man's and woman's dress, to the extent of arraying themselves in apparel that is obviously designed to vex the mortal frame; but everyone recognizes without hesitation that such apparel for men is a departure from the normal. We are in the habit of saying that such dress is "effeminate"; and one sometimes hears the remark that such or such an exquisitely attired gentleman is as well dressed as a footman.

白话
女性、牧师和仆人的服装与男性服装之间的分界线,在实践中并不总是被一致遵守,但几乎无人否认,它在流行思维习惯中总是以某种明确方式存在。当然也有自由男性,而且不少,他们盲目追求无可挑剔的体面着装,越过了男女服装的理论界线,穿上显然旨在折磨肉体的衣服;但每个人都毫不犹豫地承认,男性穿这种衣服是偏离常规的。我们习惯说这种衣服是“娘娘腔”;有时也听到有人说,某位衣着精致的先生穿得像个跟班。
上下文
凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》分析服装作为身份符号,指出男性服装应体现“有用”和“严肃”,而女性、牧师、仆人的服装则不同。
今日一问
我们今天的着装规范中,是否还隐藏着对性别角色的刻板期待?
