Most women are quite happy for men to wear skirts (except their own man, of course). They don't claim the right to exclusive use. But a positive recommendation like this is a welcome rarity!

I have added a comment - see if you can work out my user name! :D
Keep on skirting,

This article is interesting in that it starts to open discussion on the gender role of skirted garments. I did find the bias of the reporter was of the general mindset of today's woman. They much prefer trousers, but won't part with the option of a skirt or two in the wardrobe. This points up the injustice of the situation in a way, as women, without fear or favour, have a choice and, except for most of those of us here, men don't.
