When will boys be allowed to wear the strap shoes
(a.k.a. Mary Janes) as shown in the school photo above?
This is much more likely than allowing boys to wear Mary Janes.r.m.anderson wrote:Or simply make saddle shoes the uniform of the class room.

The straight guy in a skirt has effectively no allies unless he's fortunate enough to have a supportive wife or girlfriend; other than that, he's out in the cold. So, yes, we are very much alone.

I think that the young may be inspired by a group of (mainly) aging iconoclasts. Kids will see these guys wearing skirts in defiance of "trousers tyranny", and start to question the dreary old dress code.

There are some interesting pictures shown above but please remember that, especially with older photographs, girls sometimes had very short hair and girls often looked remarkably like boys from the neck up. I suspect taht pictures purporting to be boys in skirts/dresses are actually girls with short hair.

The modern "feminists" have no use for it; they're out for -- and are achieving -- utter dominion over men. The outright homosexual population has no use for us; we're not their type.

Does the above mean that we should hang our heads in shame and retreat to the (relative) safety of our "closets"? NO! If anything, it should be a bit of a clarion call to redouble our efforts and get out there, do brave and innovative things, make a good show of it, and -- above all -- make the presence of the skirt coincidental.

I expect no such resistance. There's been little to none so far, and if the number if MISers becomes significant, it'll be too late.
Of course there will be zealots and extremists on both sides. There always are.
