"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

Re: How about treating men the same?
Should one explore if men are forbidden to wear skirts?
They certainly were.

Re: How about treating men the same?
Is there a quote from either the civil or criminal code stating that men are explicitly disallowed from wearing skirted garments? If so, that'd be a decidedly interesting read -- especially to see if it continues to apply.Sylvain wrote:Should one explore if men are forbidden to wear skirts?

Re: How about treating men the same?
I am not aware of any UK rules specifically preventing men from wearing skirts.
I still think that UK employment equality legislation leaves some loop holes, such as allowing employers dress codes to take into consideration the norm in society rather than an equality based approach. That means that men's skirts would have to become mainstream in society to successfully claim legal equality with ladies wearing trousers at work.
They never took that approach on womens pay and votes for women, though.
I usually wear a kilt to work, around 2 or 3 days in any month. It does take longer to get dressed in a Scottish kilt than in trousers.
