I ride sometimes just for pleasure, but more often to run errands, dressed for the errand, which means a miniskirt or knee-length, preferably with some stretch, nothing shorter than 40 cm/16". I swim in a black men's bikini-brief and my underwear (also black) offers as much coverage, so I don't...

Thomas Jefferson: "...it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." I have been fortunate not to have had any negative encounters in six years of wearing skirts, but I would be inclined to offer a response cons...

You can do a Web search on 'sensory integration disorder' or 'sensory processing disorder' and find quite a few results. I believe the term was coined by an Occupational Therapist; it is not officially recognized by physicians or psychologists. I, however, am a psychologist, and exhibit the features...

Here in the US choices in men's nightshirts are very limited and prices are high; I have only found them online or in catalog...

I had quite a few trees on my property in Connecticut, which dropped lots of small branches on windy days. I did yard work in miniskirts (~38 - 40 cm) and was surprised to find that the modest way to pick up the deadfall was to place my right foot behind and to the left of my left foot, then bend th...

...the transgender movement has unfortunately reinforced the gender binary - stepping out of your lane (man wearing a skirt, woman playing with LEGO*) - immediately makes you question your nature, and that's a shame.

I remain a man; it's my skirts that are nonbinary.

I have two pair of sandals and a pair of flats from the women's aisle. I love the lighter and less-bulky construction, and they actually fit me better at the heel, where men's loafers ride up and down. And as others said, dressy styles are available - men's dress shoes just don't complement the skir...

To my eyes, almost nothing I wear is 'feminine', although I shop both aisles. Most of my skirts are solid-color or simple patterns like stripes. I have two pairs of (flat) slide sandals and a pair of flats bought in women's sizes - I like the lighter construction, and the flats don't ride up and dow...

They come in different thicknesses, although read reviews if there are any as they tend to be short and not have a lot of stretch. Ah, thanks for the info: I saw one pair of those when I bought some of the sweater ...

I prefer skirts no longer than just below the knee. For our former home, Connecticut, knee-high socks were warm enough on many winter days, but here in Minnesota, there are very few such days. Therefore, my first purchases of tights this winter - they are 'sweater knits' and comfortable down to -15C...

Thanks, all, for your positive comments, and thanks for the interesting history, Uncle Al. Sorry i forgot to resize the image down ...
