There is a Saudi tribe that celebrate a flower festival with men wearing chained flowers over their heads.

High heel shoes originated in India as worn by horsemen to hold themselves during horse rides. The shoes then became fashionable amongst European nobility including men. Eventually, high heels became almost exclusively a feminine fashion for some reason.

A lot of gender stereotypes are really social constructs. As a multicultural man, if I am asked what does it mean to be a man, I don't really have an answer. If one travels the globe with an open mind, they will find that a lot of their preconceptions growing up will be challenged.
