The fact that he was a male or that I a particular gender violated rules did not, I think, make any dress. Violation of social rules catches attention regardless of the sex.
Milgram (1978) observed that people would feel a nauseous sensation when violating social convention in even an innocuous way, and indeed I felt that, having to force myself into going down the stairs and into public dressed the way I was. I relied on the stormy situation to buoy me. This again was another of Milgram's observations: that his students, when implementing breaching experiments, often gave themselves 'crutches'.
I noticed too that it was easier to 'socially breach' when others were engaged in similar acts and socially breaching too.
Harold Garfinkel, pioneer of social breaching, proposed that we are anchored in a certain web of social conventions that has become our reality and that any difference to that reality disturbs others even though differences in themselves may not be adverse or injurious (Rafalovich, 2006)....
