"You know, those pants really don't look that good on you," Gene says, as he is checking out skirts. "What do you mean?" you ask him. Gene grabs a short frilly skirt and says "try this on. You won't be disappointed."
Confused, you say "but that's a skirt. I'm a guy!" "So am I," Gene replies, "but that doesn't mean you can't look good. I understand why you don't want to wear heels, but not wanting to wear skirts every once in a while is just silly."
For the first time, you decide to look around, and though nobody's appearance has changed, you realize all men are now wearing female pants or skirts, heels or other feminine shoes, and nailpolish. Reality changed to accommodate for Gene's change, but the only way to make his clothes normal was to change fashion as a whole!
