...Society is getting worse, and blending in is the best way to not get picked on (wrong)... I could not disagree more. Everywhere I go now, I see people from all over the world, I taste food that I did not know even existed a few years back. Walking the streets of Montréal, Toronto, NY, San Fran, ...

A state that kills is no better than the killers it seeks to eradicate. In the end, killing murderers serves no other purpose than to make some feel better. Then what? No rehabilitation for criminals, and no deterrence for would be criminals. Sad.

prosecute the little $h!t as an adult, then let him become an object lesson for all the other under-age mansons we're producing. Trying him as an adult will only put one more underage kid in a prison for adult. Result: nil prevention, and the guarantee that this kid, in the presence of adult inmate...

I'd combine both words, kilt and skirt, and make it one... the skilt 8)

But, I reckon this is less a vocabulary than a social identity issue.

I didn't have time to look for it this afternoon, hence the question... but you're right - the internet is a never ending adventure.

I am always amazed at the likeness of different tartan. Thanks for enlightening us.

I see that your avatar looks very much like the (Royal) Canadian Air Force tartan. Any canadian air force links?

Re: non-acceptance

Looks to me like I am at a crossroads -- either give up skirting or give up being married. John, I feel for you. Based on my limited experience in skirting, I offer the following: (1) your wife obviously loves you, or she would not be as protective of "the way we were". Change is hard to ...

I agree with other posters here - a kilt is probably a better transition garment from bifurcated to unbifurcated. And, unless you're a die hard traditionalist, most on this forum (I believe...) will agree that a kilt is simply a different type of skirt, although society believes them to be quite dif...

QUOTE CRfriend I'd like to call a hard stop to the notion that "feminine" is somehow less than "masculine". Feminine being less than masculine is not what I meant, very far from it. The shame, now, that's probably a word that caught more attention than I wanted. To be quite preci...

The "I really am a woman" statement was, for me, more related to maybe not being who I thought I was, or at least, having a question mark hovering above, which of course brought to the forefront your other point, when you state that "everyone around me trying to whip me on to live up ...

AMM What you have written does resonate with me… What I experience is that sometimes I'll look at myself wearing a skirt, or tights, or a whole ensemble with a skirt, or think about what I might make or assemble, and suddenly I feel like, "who IS this person?"… I didn’t use to ask myself t...

Well said Sapphire. My wife is going through some stressful moments at the present time, and I believe that the last thing she needs right now is for a husband to increase that stress.

For me, fairness, logic and having a Right have less to do with it than good timing.

I had the same problem as others, and I have high speed internet. I was finally able to view the video by saving it to my desktop (save target as...) and then downloading VLC media player, as windows media player was unable to read it.

I know - the logic of skirts seems clear to us... 8) By the way, I find it extremely fascinating to realize that my wife uses the same expressions as your wife to describe her feelings, expressions such as "seeing you in a skirt doesn't turn me on", or "seeing you in a skirt makes my ...
