DA MAN Magazine: Skirts For Men: Yay Or Nay?

Perhaps one of the shortest "articles" ever written on the subject. I know I'm reaching here for something, anything to link to - but news has been awfully quiet on this front as of late.

That is short article but does show its still out there.
I hope I'm not invading the thread but I have found this article.

I didn't want to start a thread with something from 2022 so I'll drop it in here as a interesting read.
I started reading it and thought this chap is a bit more into just skirts. I was not wrong. But what the hell. Is my conditioning rearing its ugly head?

[STEVIE]

It's a good solid question, binary, black and white, yes or no.
Around here, we kind of know the answer.
In the big bad real world, not so simple though.
Stuff the glass half full and warm fluffy rosy glow, on the balance of probability, nay, nay and thrice nay!
If a school system can fire a teacher for not wishing to be as addressed as Sir/Mam or whatever, there is little hope for any fashion freedom.
Society and only society will provide the answer, not those of us who are asking the question.

Of course the answer is "Yay" (Or more correctly, "Yea", though "Yay" shows some exuberance for skirts).

By all means - no harm. That being said, I've posted links to older articles before as their own thread. Best to do that as the thread can take off on its own merit. But, that being said, the article I linked to was so short as to be laughable so in this case it probably doesn't matter. Not sure we can wrench out much more unless we start critiquing some of the pictured articles of clothing.

Wondering if the original article that Coder referenced is an example of AI journalism?

The Medium article was interesting. It linked to another article (7 reasons why more men should wear skirts) that I was tempted to check out. Unfortunately you have to sign up / be a member to get the content. Probably just clickbait anyhow, so I'll probably keep away

It's my opinion that news has been quiet on this front because it's not news any more. It's pretty much a dead horse at this point.
The only thing left is for men to find skirts they like and wear them like they want to
without regard to who else is doing it or not.

Modoc, if that were only true both here, and in the wider world?
We'd actually be a lot closer to a "YEA", for men in skirts than we are right now.

Men are the most fearful and gutless creatures that are afraid of standing out from the herd. They fear it more than anything in the world.

James, this is becoming tiresome. You need to abandon the faulty rad-fem "logic" that posits that men are inferior to women in any way. We need to be equals and team-mates in life if we are to succeed as a species. Just because you're furious about not being born with XX chromosomes does not in any way change the dynamic of the planet nor the species. Please drop it; others have already complained about the rhetoric.

Men do not need to be "pretty" unless they wish it, in which case the wish should be granted and tolerated. It comes down to personal preference -- just the same way as women have been "butching up" for decades.

Butching up? I'm gonna have to remember that one.

I'm 72 years old and that phrase has been around since I was a teenager

Tolerated or accepted?

Are women any different? Without reading the history books; when women take on male characteristics that is brave and empowering. When men take on what is perceived as female characteristics, it is seen as weak. On that basis women's struggles are seen as fighting a brave fight whereas a similar battle for men is much harder to pin down.
That's why I go out there and be myself, whatever others think that is. I'm not getting into a debate about what a man is, I am a man. I love my wife and my kids. I support them emotionally and financially. I wear what I want.
I support Jamie's right for free speech. I don't agree with him but I would stand up for his right to say it.
In reply to jamie001, not all men are fearful and gutless creatures. World wars are testament to that. Who answers the door in the middle of the night? Who investigates the unusual noise? Who is at the bottom of the trench laying pipes? Always men.
I would welcome the groups view on this subject.

Tolerated or accepted?

I had my lawyer hat on there. The thinking is that tolerance can be legislated; acceptance is entirely internal.
