Were earrings meant for women to wear and not men?
Earrings are meant for both, men and women.
In my opinion it’s a misunderstanding that most of the women wear earrings and most of the men not. It has a religious and practical reason. The practical reason is that earrings aren’t wise to wear when you’re in a fight/war or at work. Especially the work in early days. And in he past, many men had to deal with that.
The religion reason is that The Church wanted to look men and women different. So women where ‘given’ trang sức, dresses/skirts and long hair. They had to look beautiful, so they could seduce a men. And a men could easy choose the woman he liked the most. And because men looked plain they weren’t seduced to have sex with each other.
But all of this doesn’t work nowadays any more. Women don’t need a men to survive. They are equal to men, so have the same chances/opportunity in life. Like work. And men don’t go to war any more and don’t have such dangerous jobs that the loose their ear when they wear earrings.
So I think that men and women should wear earrings if they feel good with it. Big earrings if you want to express yourself and small earrings to keep the holes open.
Luckily my husband agrees with that. So he pierced his ears many years ago, after I met him. Trong thực tế, it was me who asked him to wear earrings. I just missed them.
Nowadays he’s wearing big hoop earrings, like me. We both love big hoops, so I think it pretty cool to wear them as a couple. So we don’t only enjoy our own hoops, but also the look of these hoops at our partner.
