Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"
Yes, the kilt has been almost the only exception to a "Trousers Tyranny" in the West. A special case, as I have mentioned before.

Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"
There ARE components to femininity and masculinity that are not strictly subjective, I do believe, but as you have adequately shown, most of what people refer to as masc or fem is, in fact, not only subjective but contradicted by history. Open ended garments, as an example. Deemed feminine in the W...

Re: Man in skirt wins Eurovision
At 67 years of age, I have come to accept that some life goals are now out of reach. Never had any (romantic) luck with women, and so I have had no children, nor will I have grand children. I finally gave up on trying to attract romantic partner; my attempts were futile. It was a relief when I final...

Oh that's clever. Recently there's been a lot of womens shorts that have that flap across the front to make it look skirt-like.

Re: Necklace as... neck tie?
I would say that necklace on bare skin can look splendid , if there is a lack of prominent chest hair. (My own chest is much too hairy). Other wise, wear a necklace over a shirt? BTW, notice that some of the men have loosened their ties. Must have been a bit warm for the men, not so much for the lad...

Re: Hypothethical Question
I once discussed this with a male manager that I reported to about 15 years ago, and his reply regarding the necktie is that we don’t want to see open necks because some men have chest hair sticking out two inches from their collar. The necktie prevents this. It is surprising to me that these men w...

Re: Men's? Unisex? Or Women's?
I've been over thinking this. Two revolutions:
1. Skirted rigs.
2. Modes of expression-which are compatible with trousers (nail polish, jewelry, cologne, handbags, etc.).
Note that both 1 and 2 could proceed in parallel to the other.

Re: Men's? Unisex? Or Women's?
I should have explained what I meant by twin revolutions. For men: One revolution is skirt like garments gaining traction. Another is dress like (or robe like) garments gaining traction. I have also wondered if another revolution-one of personal expression-could gain traction. I'm thinking of nail p...

Re: Men's? Unisex? Or Women's?
On the other hand, we should consider another of the twin revolutions.
Noticed that Purple Rain not only has hiking skirts/"kilts", but also hiking dresses. Seems to me that there could be a niches that remains unfilled-a hiking dress for men.

Re: Dua Lipa’s SNL performance featuring skirted male dancers
It occurred to me that I may have excessively pessimistic in some of my posts. Regarding the time scale for MIS catching on.
Maybe younger people are a bit more open minded than I anticipated. I am cautiously optimistic now.

Re: Hypothethical Question
Getting back to the original spirit of the question. At the moment I feel in the UK I have every freedom to choose any skirt with no particular rules to male dressing except for my own style rules, which I am at liberty to bend as I see fit. If skirts became common as male dressing, would rules com...
