Gosh, it was a while back in the halcyon days of 56K or ISDN! I'm glad I'm not the only one who recalls the sometimes rather savage days of dialup modems and all the fun that went with those. I was also involved during the dying days of BBSes. That was when 9600 BPS was the fastest thing you could ...

At the risk of going off at a tangent, I'd say that's because you haven't got a properly-funded public broadcaster, like nearly all western European countries have. I'd say that thesis is bang on. We used to have one, but that was sacrificed on the Altar of Greed by the current regime (and possibly...

Here, I'm going to invoke my usual observation about such machinations and ask, "Who is {foo}, and why should I care?" I don't "follow" "celebrities", starlets, jocks, talking heads, or sports -- all being entirely irrelevant to my existence and life. I'm not going to w...

Why would people get violent or break your windows just for riding a bike in a skirt? That seems excessive for most places, but, I suppose in some really backwards areas it's possible. That just points up how important it is to know your surroundings and be aware of them at all times. There's also ...

I think that to fly in a Vostok rocket on her own in 1963 counts for something no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentina_Tereshkova#:~:text=She%20was%20the%20first%20woman,last%20surviving%20Vostok%20programme%20cosmonaut. That absolutely counts, but in those early days we were more interested if...

Yep. The choices, although narrowing, are certainly more robust than they are in the men's "section".

We need to get Carl (CR) out of the doom and gloom mindset and back to proudly wearing skirts everywhere. I'll revert to fine once the stressors are removed; I retain some resiliency. I'm back to wearing skirts much of the time since there's no overt evidence of Gestapo operations in my area (yet),...

Keep communicating and later there will probably be a time to discuss your feelings with them - now is not that time. Indeed, we tend to keep telling ourselves that, but time, events, and mortality eventually get in the way of it. I always had a very good relationship with my father, but he never l...

The problem is that this forum claims to be interested in promoting skirted garments for everyone, yet nobody is actively doing anything to promote this end goal. The majority of what happens here are obsessive negative and self-defeatist behaviours. This will not change anything. Since when is app...

Thanks for going and thank you for speaking out against tyranny. The reason you were there speaks volumes. The dress just added some extra character to the gathering.

The sooner that people stop abiding by those mental constraints, the sooner the situation will change. That day is far away Robbie, I can say that with absolute certainty. I can say it, too, but likely for a different reason. In my estimation, the average (read, "normal") human brain adva...

At the moment it’s VERY difficult to avoid the evilness, bullying, threats and repugnant comments that are threatening the globe. I’ll try my best, but these are very disturbing times. Trust me, this ol' boy understands that fully and is integrating that into my responses. Bluntly, we are watching ...

As I understand it we aren't supposed to discuss politics, unless it impacts the topic of MIS. That's technically the way the thing is supposed to work, but right there the camel gets its nose under the tent-flap and is pretty soon inside. It also trusts the hope that there's a sense of society and...

Add to Phathack's thesis that we also want to remove the implicit coupling of skirt-on-a-guy==pervert. It's damaging, pointless, and likely inaccurate in any number of ways. Sometimes a skirt is just an article of clothing. We need to treat it as such.

I don't recall any interaction with a man that indicated that he thought me feminine, even though I'm almost always in a skirt or dress. That's because of the interaction, which overrides a passive observation. I'll bet that you weren't behaving in a feminine manner (women don't any more, anyway) a...
