Re: H&M bashing ...
Hehehe. I left the following comment:
Obviously it goes without saying that I dress to please myself, and I certainly not not out to impress anyone.I'm not gay, but I happily wear skirts. The wife is quite used to it, the girlfriend totally adores it, and my date tonight is certainly not phased by it.
I realize that most men wouldn't be seen dead in a skirt, as they would be too concerned about what their male friends think of them. It takes a lot of balls for a man to wear a skirt...and quite frankly, most men don't have them. I do.
Since wearing skirt, I have discovered that most of my female friends will often comment on what I am wearing. It certainly get me noticed. So while you guys are busy dressing to impress other guys, I appear to be impressing the ladies. And believe me, it is working.
Be Bold. Be Skirted.

I'll have to admit that two phrases crossed my mind on reading some of that pap: "utterly appalled" and "not terribly surprised".CJFMix wrote:I'm amazed that such uneducated people still exist in 2010 !!!

I'm just glad that that's not the world I travel in.

Just another example of the old adage that birds of a feather flock together.
I suspect few of the contributors are quite so "brave" when on their own in meatspace.
Have fun,

Re: H&M bashing ...
Sigh.....
Well - I left a comment. I can't usually be bothered, but I did so this time. I expect I will get flamed, but I don't care. It's time I made a stand.
I’m a man, I’m English, I live in an industrial city in northern England. I have worn skirts openly in public for at least 15 years. I can and do wear skirts anywhere I wish including in my work place – currently as a university lecturer and also in my previous job as a government department research scientist.
Never, ever, not once, in all that time have I had any adverse comment or criticism from anyone whatsoever, concerning my clothing choices.
I am not gay (not that it is any business of anyone’s); I am happily married, with grown-up children. My wife fully supports my fashion choices.
Skirt-wearing men are not often seen, but there are quite a few of us around, just getting on with it quietly, because that’s what we like to do. I think the latest H&M mens’ skirt is very smart and I will be on the look out for one.
I am appalled by the narrow-minded, hateful, ignorant bigotry shown by the majority of posters on this thread. I think it just demonstrates their own insecurity and their inability to conceive of anything slightly different outside their own small-minded, insular and violent environment.
Putting on a skirt will not make your ***** drop off nor the world come to an end. If you yourself don’t want to wear a skirt, then don’t. No-one is forcing you. But for goodness sake grow up and let us have an end to this ridiculous manufactured indignation and nastiness towards those of us that have sufficient free-thinking ability to be creative in what we wear and who are not afraid to stand apart from your dinosaur-brained herd mentality.
The profanity filter on that website automatically censored my post. The asterisks stand for 'small spherical objects' but I expect you guessed that anyway.

Re: H&M bashing ...
That was very well written, Stevie. It's always nice to see a cogent, well thought out, and rational response to such mindless drivel. I applaud you for it!
However, the overall tone of the commentary on that site points up a rather low quality of character, and my own life-experience indicates that trying to reason with such souls is all too frequent a waste of time, effort, and breath. Perhaps I'm using an overly-broad brush with which to slather those involved, and perhaps, just perhaps, may make an attempt like yours if an opportunity presents itself.

Thanks, Carl.
As you say, it's probably a waste of time - people will believe what they want, regardless of any rational argument to the contrary. But sometimes it doesn't do any harm to have a bit of a well thought out rant. I look forward to reading your conbtribution if you feel so minded.

Re: H&M bashing ...
I usually get really upset at the drivel written on these things. This time, I had a curious reaction. I thought, "so what. These people are mostly moronic; they will not affect me or my mood" and idly looked at the odd post, smiled, and returned here.
Good post, Stevie, but I doubt the logic will penetrate their thick skulls.

Re: H&M bashing ...
And here I was assuming the ***** was referring to a rolling pin shaped body part(named after the late ex-President Richard M. Nixon,"Tricky ****") instead of golf balls shaped ones.Stevie said: not make your ***** drop off nor the world come to an end. If you yourself don’t want to wear a skirt, then don’t.

Re: H&M bashing ...
My contribution:
I’m a straight guy, married with kids. I’m big – I work out with weights and people don’t mess with me. I would no more think of crossdressing than I’d think of sawing off my leg. I wouldn’t dream of wearing an ear-ring, carrying a “man bag” or wearing any kind of cosmetics because I find them far too girly.
However, skirts are a different matter entirely. The notion that the ONLY thing a man can wear is two cloth tubes, one per leg, is ridiculously restrictive. Frankly, I get bored with just having the option of pants, pants or pants, so I welcome the development of something else. So long as any skirt is cut in a masculine way, and worn with manly stuff, what’s the problem? On a warm summer’s day, a sarong beats shorts for comfort every time (try one!).
There was a time when women were limited to dresses, but they had the sense to challenge that, and they were right and brave to do so. Now it’s time for men to show the same guts, and I appreciate H&M for having the guts to market skirts for guys.
