I lack personal experience with dogs. The estimates I have seen on line are those of a two year old human.

Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"
When I was a boy back during the 1960s, I had already felt stultified/suffocated by the Man-Box.

Re: Greatest Influence On Children
Got a brief glimpse (before the elders passed away) of how great-grandchildren may treat their great-grandparents. This was the family of a friend. Her parents were the great-grandparents in question. The kids and elders had a warm relationship. It reminded me of the relationship between grandparent...

Re: Skirt wearing boys in Japan
When I was researching the shift towards Western styles, I came across what might have been. Early on, a few Japanese suggested adopting clothing styles from other East Asian countries. Japan could have well have had dual sartorial revolutions, at the same time.

Re: Where will we be in say... ten years?
Possibly larger. Perhaps, as timemeddler suggested, as large as the kilties. I expect that there may be a fair number who are interested, but are still in the closet.

Re: Where will we be in say... ten years?
Toe in the water? In reference to the Due Lipa thread, we may have reached a real, if modest, milestone. Skirted men have become acceptable (at least in the background) as part of a performance. A decade from now? At that point it may be only another 80 years for a sartorial revolution to reach comp...

Re: Where will we be in say... ten years?
We only need enough guys to wear them enough so people have at least aware of men's skirts. I think most of us would be happy if it reached the level kilts have now. Everyone knows of them, I have to wonder if we will first start to see men in half way house rigs. For example, the Etalon Mens Skirt...

Hypothetical scenario....
Somebody markets a hiking dress for men. This becomes the first dress to gain traction.

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...
