Re: A case of mistaken skirting - pays to read comments

I had a friend from church over the other day to help with some yardwork. He was carrying a small bag cross body bag. It was canvas in some military-like color either khaki or olive (I forget which), and had a more vertical orientation with one strap off the top and the other off the side. Near the ...

Re: Advice on kilts

For casual wear, I just cuff regular long socks below my knees (or no socks or no-show socks). I've gotten these in the past, though (like everything else) the price has gone up: https://sockdreams.com/collections/over-the-knee/products/otk-tube-socks https://sockdreams.com/collections/extraordinary...

Re: Ballet Flats and Mary Janes Back on the Runway

Mouse, I don't disagree that the high heeled boots are a powerful statement! Not quite sure what they are saying, but they do look fun! That said, most of the time I'm not looking to say anything quite that loudly with my shoes. I've taken to wearing loafers to the office (with trousers) in part bec...

Re: Ballet Flats and Mary Janes Back on the Runway

This is good news. If skirts for men are going to catch on, we need shoes for men to go with them. Most men's formal shoes are ugly, and better partly hidden under a trouser cuff... The shoes are typically clunky. And the more formal shoes-intended for suits, for example-are extremely limited in te...

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

We are not, as some like to say, "a ghost driving a meat covered skeleton" or whatever. Our body is a part of us, part of the whole. The physical is not evil. We are both physical and spiritual beings. The animals are only physical, and the angels are only spiritual. Only humans have both...

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

If people want to make such a big deal of Deuteronomy 22:5, what about 1 Corinthians chapter 11 where the Apostle Paul admonishes men to worship with uncovered heads and women with covered heads? On one hand we see bishops on up to the Pope wearing mitres and Eastern Orthodox clergy wearing head co...

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

The sex of a skeleton can be determined scientifically. There are significant differences in bone structure You misunderstand what I'm asking... The body is gone, when the "person" (spirit) acends to heaven, how is gender determined? The gender of the spirit, or soul? I believe that in th...

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. That makes sense as once a person dies and their physical body rots in the ground... how would gender be determined in such a case? The sex of a skeleton can be d...

I like this one, I'll try to remember it.
I've gotten these types of comments before, and they are always appreciated!

Re: Interesting old (oct 2020) Mumsnet forum, mainly about Mark Bryan

[Women] are picky because they can be picky. If male fashion freedom became more widespread. They would swifty change their mind. As a thought experiment, wind this thought forward a few moves. It'll reveal the circular logic that's holding any and all progress at bay. Men are not going to move bec...

Re: Male anatomy

How about "leggings" that are so tight that they reveal a woman's "personal grooming habits"? How's that sit with you? Not directed at me, but I'll answer anyway: Nope. Not okay with that. I'd say both men and women should be concealing certain things, to varying degrees, in pub...

Re: Moral Outrage Because of a Small Clip

The outage wasn't just about the boy in a skirt, but his "gay dads." All the cited tweets in the article pointed that out as well. This wasn't just boy-in-a-skirt outrage, it was boy-raised-by-gay-couple-in-a-tutu outrage. Why does this matter? It wasn't the skirt by itself, or even the fa...

Re: Article in The Guardian by a man who wears skirts

I was not aware of that - interesting. I'd always assumed that it was a fairly widespread practice throughout the western world and other places where Christianity was the dominant religion. I was really surprised when I moved to the US and found that many women chose not to take their hubsters nam...
