Dad who wears skirts (Article in English)

Here is a link to the Huffington Post version of this article. While the article itself is likely identical to others one might find, it is the comments that will certainly be quite different. In this case Huff Po responders are overwhelmingly supportive of the father. Many seem to be rather informed regarding clothing history and cultural variations regarding what men wear on a regular basis. Quite refreshing to see this, in my opinion.

This story is spreading and is getting a lot of very positive comments.
Here are a few more links to English language versions-

Where DO you find all those articles, Pleated? The Gawker one in particular is interesting because of the plethora of correspondance under it. From what little I've read, it's all very positive.
Note how civilised the little German towns are, each with its designated 'Fussgangerzone', or pedestrian precinct, not a parked vehicle in sight & kept spotless, of course. Having lived there for 8 years that is one aspect I miss here.

Hi Tom,
I just followed a couple of the links further down the page on the Huffington Post article.
I also did a search for "Nils Pickert". There is more stuff out there. I held back from going to the Daily Mail article and one or two others that spoke of "crossdressing".
Here is another one I forgot to link to last night-
