The Illustrated Book of Manners: A Manual of Good Behavior and Polite Accomplishments, 1866 twitter.com/yesterdayspr...

Illustration of two women, one in masculine and one in feminine attire text: If a woman fancies that she looks better or feels better in men's clothes, there is no reason why she may not indulge in so harmless a fancy. We do not see tha any moral or proper legal question is involved in this: or, if the dress is neat and becoming, convenient to the wearer, and pleasant to others, that it is a breach of good manners. It is a simple question of good and evil. If the amount of happiness, immediate or ultimate, is increased by any costume, it is right to wear it.

We got a whole world full of people we should persuade to be well-mannered like Valcourt describes.

Screenshot from old book by Robert Valcourt stating "The man or woman who is conscious of powers of wit, sarcasm, or ridicule, should use them care-fully and with magnanimity. Do not attack the weak, especially if absent. These are weapons for the strong — for tyrants and tyrannies. Never attack those who are precluded by their position from reply. Do not strike one who is bound, or in any way powerless. Seek a foeman worthy of your steel. Command yourself ; the man who is liable to fits of passion ; who cannot control his temper, but is subject to ungovernable excitements of any kind, is always in danger. The first element of a gentle-manly dignity is self-control."

That last statement would be challenged if this was reversed

I love this painting (c. 1924) of Una, Lady Troubridge, by Romaine Brooks:

Painting from 1924 of a woman in dark, masculine, rather formal attire, with short bobbed hair and wearing a monocle. She is standing in front of two small black dogs.
