Re: Mixing Menswear & Womenswear

People will identify you as GNC for wearing the skirt. Why on the gods' green Earth do we need to continually shoot ourselves in the feet over this. For the average human (both male and female), "GNC" == "queer". Full stop. We need to de-gender the skirt in order for it to catch...

Re: Skirts in Schools - No hope for boys

Most women and girls won't touch a guy in a skirt. Come on guys, we were all 15 once... what was the most pressing thing on your mind then? Hint- it likely wasn't making a fashion statement! In theory maybe, in practice I have to wonder if that's actually true. Kind of like the opposite of "gi...

Re: Mixing Menswear & Womenswear

Mixing is fine. I wear skirts all of the time with men's polo shirts and women's shoes. It doesn't matter. People will identify you as GNC for wearing the skirt. Whatever else you are wearing is irrelevant to them. Don't worry about what other people thing. Just be yourself and enjoy total liberatio...

Re: I finally wore a skirt in public

I finally did it. I went into town today wearing a pleated black skirt, black tights, a short black bomber jacket and walking shoes. Usually I wear them under a long black coat but decided to ditch the long black coat and show off the skirt in public. Everything was fine in town and nobody batted a...

There will also be heeled ankle boots and mary janes to complete the outfit.
Great outfit choice. I approve! :D

Re: Skirts in Schools - No hope for boys

No one is teaching kids to stand up for themselves. You aren't allowed to punch a bully in the face. A kid who does that will be in more trouble than the bully. That compounds the problem by turning the victim into a double-victim. He gets beaten up by the bully, finally stands up and does somethin...

Re: Skirts in Schools - No hope for boys

Most women and girls won't touch a guy in a skirt. Unless it's a kilt and the wearer can carry it off. Then, suddenly, the "guy in the skirt" will become an object of lust. Weird, eh? Maybe that's the route to getting boys to wear skirts - make them tartan, pleated and wrapover style and ...

Re: Hypothethical Question

This goes with the constant thought - a label. A box to put unusual(weird ?) men in. Society still thinks in terms of "A Label". WHY, WHY , WHY :?: If YOU have a solution to this "problem", you might win a Nobel Prize :!: I don't see it as a negative or positive - just a definit...

Re: Hypothethical Question

I don't want my clothes, my interests, to define me - I do want my works (one could say art), words, actions to define me. We humans define other humans in many ways depending on what we ourselves are interested in. So if I am a fashion nut, I may have a set of boxes in my mind where I file people ...

Re: Hypothethical Question

........... but we need to make something seem normal even though that something is a novelty for most men. Which to me brings us back to the original hypothetical; to make skirts seem normal to most men they would loose a lot of what a lot of us love about skirts. To me it is not a matter of makin...

Re: Hypothethical Question

Yes! This is my issue with wearing skirts meaning I'm being "gender non-conformant". That just reinforces the stereotype that skirts (and more) must be a feminine presentation of some kind. The sooner we get over that the better. It is not possible to quickly get over it. Women had to fig...

Re: Skirts in Schools - No hope for boys

If they can’t bully you in school, the will wait until you get off the school bus and then two or three bullies (they always operate in numbers) will beat the crap out of you for the fun of it. I speak from experience. At which point it becomes a matter for the parents and/or the police. Interperso...

Re: Hypothethical Question

In my opinion, the moment we conflate skirts with gender, we've lost the average guy -- and that's where the target audience is. As I said, "lofty goals". Language is important. Yes! This is my issue with wearing skirts meaning I'm being "gender non-conformant". That just reinfo...

Re: Skirts in Schools - No hope for boys

Not really possible, I'm afraid. There are so much kids compared to the school staff, that it is simply impossible to check everywhere. You're largely right on that count, but having the Administration on it's feet, paying attention, and inculcating that bullying will not be tolerated, and have har...
