Re: To Understand

Thus my almost fanatical rule of taking the "Law of Unintended Consequences" into account when formulating long-term decisions (and even some short-term ones). I've had history come back at me and whack me on the head with a 2x4 when least expecting it. And that's not comfortable.

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

I'd say that I'd take your sister's grin as a sign of at least early acceptance. So long as you didn't immediately get a sarcastic crack at the time.

Re: I finally wore a skirt in public

I’ll see what I can do but ideally I’d prefer it if I lost a bit weight first before posting a selfie on my pictures page. :) No worries at all on that count. If you're not comfortable, you're not comfortable. We get it. I do like the fact that you have support and guidance in navigating the black ...

Re: Hypothethical Question

I will explain my take on this matter herewith, and I'll allow Al to explain his as his will likely be different from mine. My take on "GNC" is that it's yet one more attempt to create a "classification" (box) without need. We might as well just call the behaviour "effeminat...

Re: Hypothethical Question

I maintain that the boxes some men are containing themselves in, are all in their own head. In some parts of the world there is nothing to stop a man putting on a skirt, going out about his life and being happy. No one is going to stop him doing as he pleases as long as he legally covered and not b...

Re: Hypothethical Question

Here's another question that's germane in the current context: "Why do some of us insist on constructing "boxes" that are even more cramped than the "Man Box" in order to apologise for something that we're doing that (a) is not wrong and (b) harms no-one?"

Re: Hypothethical Question

Unfortunately not during our lifetimes. If we don't start taking action, nobody is going to do it for us -- because nobody's particularly interested especially given the abject failures of many larger societies. And we're not going to achieve it by apologising for our actions, either, and this GNC ...

Re: Hypothethical Question

I agree with Carl to the degree that it applies more to men than women; my take on that is that perhaps 80-90% of women have expanded what is acceptable where probably only 1% at most of men have made that move. That is the crux of my argument, and I have never liked arming an enemy by giving them ...

Re: Escaping Slavery by Crossdressing

All men can escape slavery to the Man-Box by crossdressing. Crossdressing is good for the mind and the soul. You missed the point of the idea. This is Deuteronomy 22 in action for real -- it's about deception ! Women cross-dress all the bloody time. Does anybody give them grief? No. The only ones w...

Re: Hypothethical Question

I have a better suggestion how about “GNC for All Men”. lol just kidding. OK, and I am not kidding here, I call B.S. on "GNC" here and now . Why? Because it's just going to be one more damned cudgel to beat men with. Have you ever heard of a woman getting chastised for being "gender ...

Re: Friction

My friend was right about a skirt with a restricted stride. Walking was a pain having to take 50% more steps which means 50% more time. Next time I will listen to advice from women on skirt wearing. Yes, advice from "experienced practitioners" is worth its weight in gold. Never discount t...

I think I'm going to give that some thought. The masthead is well over a decade old already and may be due for a revamp.

Re: Mixing Menswear & Womenswear

People will identify you as GNC for wearing the skirt. Why on the gods' green Earth do we need to continually shoot ourselves in the feet over this. For the average human (both male and female), "GNC" == "queer". Full stop. We need to de-gender the skirt in order for it to catch...
