Every day we see people challenging traditional gender norms, especially men, who are embracing their feminine side, particularly by wearing clothes that were once known to be exclusive to women. Now, a video of two men is going viral on social media, showing them wearing skirts in the Delhi metro, smashing gender stereotypes and promoting inclusivity.
Sameer Khan posted the video on Instagram which showed him and his friend wearing T-shirts, denim skirts, and sneakers, walking in the Delhi metro.
The caption of the video reads, 'Clout chasers,' with a text overlay indicating that they had worn skirts on the Delhi Metro.
