I used to believe that it was only acceptable to wear a bathrobe and slippers if you were a girl. My parents made me wear slippers all the time, and bathrobe with my pajamas, so while I obeyed the rules, I always felt a little weird. I remember asking my mom why I had to wear them, I'm not a girl. She just brushed it off and said that all good boys wear robes and slippers. Eventually I stopped caring and noticed that guys do wear them, just not as much as girls do
