Depends on your position as a male. Barack Obama got made fun of for a tan/beige suit he wore once.

Men get made fun of for what they wear all the time. So, I don’t get this argument that no one cares what men wear because we all certainly do. See mens wardrobe options vs womens. Compare the two - look at what is normal for one and normal for another. You’ll see one has far more selection than the other.

Yes but those are memorable and we laugh at them because they stand out. The volume of hate we throw at women is orders of magnitude worse. We don't even really pay attention to how often we slut/fat/ugly/etc shame women any more.

That has nothing to do with dress. We critique men's dress very often as we do women's.

I think another aspect is that men's fashion is inherently more limited - because - men are aware of the critiques and don't want to deal with it.

insecurity but primarily insecurity about losing power and control

Interestingly enough, this probably applies to the people who were dismissing Obama on the basis of that tan suit as well.
