However, women just have more options than men. They can wear pants and shorts at any length and most people won't have a problem with that. However, if a man wears shorts a few inches above the knee, he gets the dreaded gay rumors. I have a pair of red jorts from Hot Topic (inb4 "you're an angsty teen") that I roll up above the knee on warm days, and I've gotten quite a few stares and comments.
