Well, to each their own! I think they're pretty cute. I've been tempted to pick one up. Because of the length, it would probably be reserved for concerts, festivals, or other contexts where people tend to dress a little sluttier. Or worn over leggings. At this point I own more skirts than shorts/pants so I probably don't need to be buying more, but I also like supporting this young man who is bravely using his platform to help normalize skirts on men.Uncle Al wrote: ↑Sat Aug 30, 2025 2:26 am This is not about "The Video" as I haven't watched it.
With the current discussion, I probably won't.
Now, about "The Style" of this designers skirts.
I would not wear one, at any time. PERIOD
They are, IMHO, a extremely short, Micro-Mini skirt. NOTHING IS LEFT TO THE IMAGINATION.
These skirts are shorter than a high-school cheerleaders costume. Some of the pics showing
long sleeve tops with these 'micro-mini' skirts are revolting to my eyes. There's no balance
in proportion, just showing off legs.
IMHO, disgusting to the viewer

Re: Skirted Style in Atlanta
This is where we differ -- and that is entirely fine, healthy, and to be expected. I tend not to get angry when faced with "problems" as I find it distracts me as I attempt to work my way around the issue and, hopefully, bring it to a conclusion in some manner.TSH wrote: ↑Sat Aug 30, 2025 2:55 amRefer to my response to Carl. Also, at the very least, it helps to at least get this anger out somewhere. And other people (mainly ones here) can relate to that anger and know that even a terrible video like this which is near unanimously agreed upon by similar deplorable jerks, can at least find some solace in the ferocious manner in which I deconstructed all the points you listed in regards to the video. It's how I've personally been able to cope with certain hot topics in the past. It's really the only way I could express discontent without attracting the brainlet mob in the comment section.
Now, I did not bother watching the video knowing what was awaiting me based on others' observations -- so I didn't even have to waste my time before setting in on the analysis which, using fairly simple pattern-matching tactics yielded the mental state of the droid that posted the video and the flag that the noise can be dismissed save for the fact that it'll likely draw an audience -- and that's where things get dangerous. This sort of bile gets traction with the ignorant and entirely uninformed. Of note is that there is precisely nothing whatsoever wrong with ignorance -- we all start out that way and have to learn. Where we get into trouble is with the wilfully ignorant -- the state I call actively "stupid". These types simply refuse to learn or have an inbred opposition to anything that's attempting to be revised or otherwise corrected. In extreme cases, one can wind up with cases of arrested development where the "induhvidual" will never progress beyond childhood or even in extreme cases a toddler stage.
If there's really anything to be gleaned from this writing, it's that expressed anger and/or rage over others' idiocy is pointless and ultimately counterproductive, and in extreme cases can result in entirely unpleasant things (like violence). In a societal sense, all one can do is remember things when one votes (if that's allowed where you live) his mind.

Re: Skirted Style in Atlanta
Ever thought about insulting some of these morons wanting to be treated as a man, being force to registered for the draft? They say they want equal rights, but not being force into military service.
There is a lawsuit being brought on by a lawyer for women for Equal Rights, has a male client in this case. There is a male willing to help women force them into military service if drafts ever start again. You probability see it being funny in sense there is lack some of these women claiming wanting to be treated as a man. A man refuse to register for the draft and says he is being discriminated against.

A lot of these women prefer be discriminated against when it comes to being forced into military service. This is what can be added to things they don't want to be equal along with not wanting with men in dresses and skirts.
Re: Skirted Style in Atlanta
This sounds more rational to me. I guess when you get older, you value your time more. I'm still extremely disillusioned by the American electorate, for example, as well the politicians, of course, but that's all I say for now on that matter. Don't want to get this thread derailed more than it already has.crfriend wrote: ↑Sat Aug 30, 2025 1:35 pmThis is where we differ -- and that is entirely fine, healthy, and to be expected.

The only reason I even clicked on those two videos is to see the ratings they had. It's not a surprised, since the few posts here alluded to what I was getting into, but it's a shame that this dross doesn't even get remotely challenged on the same platform. Too much problematic content on the Internet and much of it isn't even addressed. Science is constantly under attack because of this influence, and history is doomed to repeat itself because of this refusal to learn from, and reflect on it.Now, I did not bother watching the video knowing what was awaiting me based on others' observations -- so I didn't even have to waste my time before setting in on the analysis which, using fairly simple pattern-matching tactics yielded the mental state of the droid that posted the video and the flag that the noise can be dismissed save for the fact that it'll likely draw an audience -- and that's where things get dangerous.

I could probably add that people willing to hear you out are probably worth your time, and not the ones with their eyes shut and ears clogged. I live in a blue state, but I'm still preparing to leave this country. With the exception of maybe my family ("maybe" being the keyword here), I don't plan on looking back, if ever. Now, that could be subject to change (the "not looking back" part), but my attitude towards the United States won't unless the populace smartens up, actually qualified candidates get elected again, and the nations starts finally acting like the "Land of the Free" it's "supposed" to be.If there's really anything to be gleaned from this writing, it's that expressed anger and/or rage over others' idiocy is pointless and ultimately counterproductive, and in extreme cases can result in entirely unpleasant things (like violence).

Before I begin, let's just take a moment to realize that we're diverting from skirts completely (in a thread that has nothing to do with what this sub-forum is about, mind you) to military drafting. Since I might not find another opportunity to discuss this, I may as well do so, now.mr seamstress wrote: ↑Sat Aug 30, 2025 3:59 pmEver thought about insulting some of these morons wanting to be treated as a man, being force to registered for the draft?

A lot of these women prefer be discriminated against when it comes to being forced into military service. This is what can be added to things they don't want to be equal along with not wanting with men in dresses and skirts.
Firstly, these women want to be treated "equally" (at least, that's what they supposedly want), not like men. There's a distinct difference.
Secondly, I read the page and facial that went into more detail about the case. Vickram Valame makes a compelling agrument about being discriminated against. Many men don't want any part of the military. They don't want to have to go to war, kill people, and invade other countries. I don't want to do any of these things. I especially don't want to salute the current Commander-in-Chief — an individual who I harbor a strong hatred for, and I especially despise this country and much of the people living in it. Resisting a draft is considered a felonious charge, so he has no choice BUT to sign up for consignment.
Thirdly, I don't have an issue with the notion that women, alone, should decide that they're fully equal citizens. I don't have an issue with women being given the option to register for Selective Service without automatically being denied because of their sex. The issue here, though, is that they aren't extending this privilege to men — just women. Both women and men are being discriminated against, so forcing one sex to consign while only given the other choice isn't any more equal than just excluding them from the program. It should go both ways, and the fact that no one in the ERA movement seems to acknowledge this disparity in actual equality is just sad really. Most people really don't care, or have no idea what real equality actually looks like.
Lastly, NO citizen should be forcibly drafted. It's unconstitutional and not every man is primed for it. Their issue should just be the program itself, not the fact that it prevents women from being drafted.

Re: Skirted Style in Atlanta
I've looked at this enough now for me and I'm pleased to say I dont really see any issues.
The reactor lady Mrs Sandfay is just one older women, locked in the past. She made some relevant points inasmuch that I've heard it said before. The two that stick out in my mind is her saying "can't we have anything for ourselves?". It's an absurd thing to say and a total lie. She also acknowledges that if boys were allowed to wear skirts and dresses, they would want to continue. It really isnt worth worrying about people stuck in the 1950's. The world has moved on. The promise of the 1960s did not materialise but there are greater freedoms for men than in the 50's.
The young chap is advertising his designs by wearing them. Brilliant idea and I bet he has seen his sales rise following the stunt and it probably is just 'a stunt'.
I noticed some men in red dresses having fun and found out the "Red Dress Run" is a New Orleans charity event with loads of men and in red dresses. The event is spreading to ither cities in america. Maybe there's an opening here in the UK?
