They believe that if you deviate from the confines of the Man-Box, you will be seen is a homosexual. Therein lies the problem. I don’t think being “seen as a homosexual” is that big of a deterrent these days. There are so many cool gay men that are totally accepted that it seem totally fine to be c...

The path for women in pants was far more deeper than just pants being "practical", which I'm sure everyone is already aware of. Pants aren't always "practical" though, and I'll argue skirts can actually be such — even more so than pants. For starters, it's just more "practi...

I am bearish on skirts being mainstream for men. For women, there's the argument that pants are necessary for safety for industrial/hard labor jobs. But there's no legitimate argument that men need to wear skirts to safely participate in industrial/hard labor jobs. Skirts are admittedly just for co...

@Seb Pardon the week-long response. Honestly, every Elder Scrolls game that isn't Morrowind is either extremely outdated ( Arena ), far, far too limited by the technology at the time ( Daggerfall ), overly-curated to the point that literally EVERYTHING scaled to your character's level and its RPG me...

Wanted to post this a long time ago, but never got around to 'til now, so here it is: I've never been to Japan (yet), but it's no surprise if women really do wear skirts more, there. It's almost as if the country has this weird fixation where they need to have these young female anime characters in ...

About the video links given in the first message of the topic: I can't see them because of country limitations. I've been curious, and tried to see it from somewhere else. Not sure that what I seen is what have been posted. Here's what I think about it: In one of the clips, the male skirted band wa...

Would you agree automakers would fight in getting their vehicle displayed in that video with a bikini-clad, curvaceous woman? This woman can help in selling their vehicle to her followers. Fans will buy products seen in videos. They want to own what she owns. 'Twas already done in the era of "...

Dua Lipa going to have an effect on teens by having men dancing skirts. Not in these two videos she won't. Why would it be her goal in the first place? It doesn't affect her much, just like it wouldn't affect any female who enjoys the fashion freedom we men and boys don't — that many, MANY ladies t...

Most men do not want participate in women’s activities because even though we pay lip service to men and women being equal, this is not really the case. Women are still considered inferior and most men still subscribe to the mindset that they wouldn’t want to lower their status by participating in ...

@Seb Morrowind played a huge role in shaping my perspective on skirts, and why men wearing skirts is taboo in the first place. For that, I'm eternally grateful. The game had fantastic world-building, solid writing, and a strange, yet recognizable landscape in Vvardenfell. It's the only Elder Scrolls...

There has to a concentrated effort to dispel this delusion that, "This specific garment is for this sex, AND this sex only". As I mentioned, until this point can be successfully driven home in to both men AND women, there will never be meaningful motion on this. One thing to ponder, here,...

It occurred to me that I may have excessively pessimistic in some of my posts. Regarding the time scale for MIS catching on. No, I think you were quite on target. But not, perhaps, for the reasons you may have thought. Maybe younger people are a bit more open minded than I anticipated. I am cautiou...

I like the freedom too, or rather, if you are letting your players equip/dress in different clothes, ofc all should be available to all. Worst is the ones where one item will be pants on a male but a skirt on females, even though its the same item. Exactly. What's ironic about The Elder Scrolls ser...

It's been a year (almost) since this thread was made, and I'm a little disheartened that it hasn't made much traffic. Let's change that. Here are some photos of a video game which allows playable male characters to wear skirts: Here's The Elder Scrolls: Chapter II — Daggerfall (1996). This is a phot...

Though there is a lot of truth in the stereotyping described here, I think reality os more nuanced. It could be. It's not often the case, though. People are generally simple-minded. People want things to stay "simple". People often think only within boxes. It's why for all the progress we...
