Skirt Boys Tribe Growing In Japan

[Since1982]

I know men that would rather rush into battle with the chance of dying[friendly edit] rather than wear something that could be perceived as feminine. Very strange, isn't it? How did society get to this point?

In the words of the "owner" of the nationwide "Men's Wearhouse" who said, "You'll LOVE your suit, I guarantee it." He's the King Lemming.

Women can wear anything because they choose to and don’t give a f what anybody thinks or say .There was a time when women who wore jeans and DM's and cropped there hair short were looked upon as lesbians and dykes but as time has passed and the growing trend for women to wear combat's and DM's the comments have disappeared and now its normal and accepted by all .
Man needs to find the same courage as women .Force there new fashion statement forward put up with the same criticism as women had to and get on with living there lives as they wish.You say
Most men here on SkirtCafe are sick and tired of the clothing options that are available for men
The option is yours if you aint got balls you aint got options then you'll have to live your life behind closed doors

This phenomenon, in the context of so-called "Western civilisation" is actually rather recent, and it's worth recalling that as few as 30 years ago that it was not the universal case. In point of fact, it's still not the case today in many circles. Women are constrained by their own set of rules -- some of which are imposed by men, others by fellow women -- and have to deal with that. At first blush, the latitude is very broad compared to what's commonly open to guys, but the "rules" are vastly more complex and the potential pitfalls legion. This is especially true in the professional workplace.

From a personal perspective, I believe we'd be better off as a sex in supporting our sisters' ongoing quest for freedom of expression through fashion than denigrating them for it. After all, when one really cuts to the quick of the matter, we're all in the same fight -- and that's to better express ourselves in the way we decide to attire ourselves.

Overt force seldom works well when one is trying to sway minds and hearts; it's usually better (read, "easier") to try and gently coax observers into coming to the conclusion that "what's fair is fair" and that they came to the conclusion of their own free will. Yelling at somebody usually has unintended consequences, and why yell when one can talk in a polite and conversational tone.

Very well said Carl. Thank you.

I’ve had enough of all this talk anybody would think the whole world read these hub pages well the bad New’s they don’t .
I think you need to know living in your own world hiding away while the rest of the world continue to evolve and move forward will never take the man skirt with it ,the only way Is to get out there and be counted .
Selfridges in London now stock man skirt and tights "mantyhose", as they call them
This is one shop where men can go do some shopping in a skirt and be accepted by the staff .
You never know you might inspire another man to convert to wearing a skirt
I believe the world is ready for man skirt and one gentle step at a time is the only way forward .
Next year needs to be full of men in skirt days out real men in men’s clothing and shoes/boot with the only difference the skirt no flowers just plain colours.
A hub with places to meet up in the UK with real commitment from those who really want to get skirted in public accepted, with a friendly phone call to the local press for some news coverage or even TV .
Once the door is open and the skirt is the norm for man that’s the time for anything goes .
I must worn you all ,the future will be that you wont be able to tell the difference between a man and a woman clothed.
Anyway its all been said before that’s all man seem to do is talk we'll just let women have it all our trousers our jobs our fast cars.
My daughter has just passed her bike test and rides a 600cc motorcycle go girl go .
She recon’s that woman is taking over the world and soon man will be left at home to do the house work ,well at least the future men can wear skirts while doing the dusting
Get skirted have fun and stay safe Its a bad bad world out there

As far as my country is concerned, rules about women are that they may be commented by other women (about fashion choices;come on they will be commented now matter how good the outfit is), but this is not so serious as being rejected as a normal guy just based on fashion choices as men are.You can loose your job, be beaten, all types of social scorn and so on while being commented that you do not have fashion sense by other jealous persons can be easily omitted and unnoticed by the "victim".Not picking on women, just showing the path about males cause restraining the appearance, constipates the personality and gives advantage to the development of the other sex not just in terms of fashion, the problem is way deeper.We must be equal,that is all.But being suppressed(do not do that it is for girls,while the same is rarely done and not so severely when concerning girls) since childhood even if your brain has the potential for a certain area is not a good thing while your female counterparts are generally let loose especially since puberty makes my observation and the situation in my country completely depicted.

This is something I have harped on for years now. The absolute un-even territory we men deal with when it come to style, let alone gender expression.

And yet, on this very site I get informed that it isn't that bad. How do we really know?

I know for darned sure I am not going to risk my Pilot's certificate by showing up wearing an outfit I would love to wear, because the penalties are too great.

But why should I even have to face that if indeed in the courts sexual discrimination was indeed an even definition.

If a man is limited to wearing only pants, but the woman can wear shorts, skirts, leggings and so on, I don't care what the law says, THAT IS DISCRIMINATION!!!. If a person gets fired for wearing something the other gender wears regularly to the job site, that is discrimination.

Yes women WERE oppressed badly by our culture (and still are in others), but that doesn't mean that their rights are more important than men's.

Equality, is the key. And equality in laws is also the key.

[SkirtedViking]

Hallelujah,Pythos!I agree with you.

As my Dad taught me many years ago, "No sheit, trick dacy" you really think there are any members of this site that don't agree with you or already know that?? It's not exactly information hidden deeply in the Great Pyramid at Cheops.

I think most of us if not all of us have been fighting that war for years and years. I know I've been regaling against it since at least 1972 and pleading with the powers that be to PLEASE let me wear whatever I legally can whenever/wherever I feel like it. I'm STILL fighting the Monroe County Circuit Court Judge to not force me under theat of arrest for "contempt of court" to wear trousers to do my mandated twice a year Jury Duty. If I don't do jury duty twice a year I lose my homestead exemption on my home. I always apply to get out of it, but I've yet to be allowed out without going in and making an appearance.

Next month we vote for a new judge. For the first time, there's a good chance she might be voted out for cause. Discrimination is cause for losing her seat. It's the first time people have moved against her for that reason. Wish us luck. I can't wait to burn my last existing pair of trousers.

well, skip, you should get your own situation with this judge NOTICED. get interviewed by news crews. let the public know how you've been treated by this judge.

you only get a judge out of power by death or pissing off the people. if she doesn't die soon, you have to FORCE her out.

YOU'VE got a good tool for doing this! good luck

[Since1982]

Geez Rig0r, I don't want her to die. Except for this mental fault, she's always been an excellent Judge and the bane of Drug dealers etc in this county. This is an important thing, but not one worth hoping someone dies over. Either the legislative process will work against her for lots of reasons of which this one is admittedly a small one or it won't. We do the best we can legally, but that doesn't mean I want folks I don't agree with dead. That sounds a lot like something once said in here by a member that used to post regularly here that said that if he heard someone saying anything bad about him he'd like to see that person killed. YES, KILLED..I think that's taking it a bit ( a huge bit) too far also.

ok. i NEVER SAID KILL HER! i said "death". judges don't retire until they are close to the reaper.

as in:
croaked
keeled over
fell off the life wagon
ran out of oxygen
the little engine that couldn't

get it now?

[Pythos]

Though I have to say, it will be a bit nicer when people with outdated ways of thinking, that limit for no reason...meet the reaper. For the most part all those people do is spread the hatred, injustice, and stupidity. I am not only talking in the area of fashion freedom, but instead most areas of life we find as "wedge" issues.

Fred Phelps and his band merry idiots for example, along with Rush Limp dick, Glen Dreck, and other such loving individuals.
