camewiththeframe:In Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, women are wearing menswear to make a statement on the sexual violence in the capital, in a movement called “Les Sapeuses,” or “Lady Dandies.” Says Barbara Kasende, “To those who say we’re deranged to dress like men, I say nothing…they’re the same old men who say women shouldn’t be in politics or the military.” Adds Musa Umpalaba, who wears her brother’s clothing: “It is easy to look like a gentleman…But to act like a gentlemen? We have to show them how it is done.”Facebook.com/sapeuses -- source link
