Is it permissible to wear short underwear (such as briefs) instead of boxers, knowing that my father says it is not proper because women wear them?

If the underwear is unisex or specific to men, there is no harm in wearing it. However, if it is specific to women, it is not permissible to wear it, due to the forbidden imitation [of women].
