Sightings of skirt wearing men on a reality serie.

[Peter v]

I saw a American reality serie, "your wife, my wife" translated from "jou vrouw, mijn vrouw" (Dutch) today, and there are two familys, from which the wives are exchanged. They take the place of each other in the houshold only.

For those who don't know this programme, The first week they abide by the house rules, the second week they draw up new rules. This always results in a shake up. This time there was a young hippy-like family, with one teen son, and a wealthy family with three teenagers. In the hippy (alternative ) family, the man and his son both wore skirts, which I found very interesting. When the wife of that family had her turn to draw up the rules, for the successful buisness man, she asked, made him wear a skirt. This, I think to break his macho bossiness, and probably place him in contact with other "feelings". At first he wouldn't, but he did eventually, and he actually "liked" it. It gave him an other insight of life. He found it strange, but felt free in it. He did start to look at his own life and that of others differently, partly by breaking with his macho behavior.

You have to have seen it, but seeing that was really interesting, as I haven't seen that before.

Of course we have to wear skirts of our own chosing. But wearing skirts does give a freedom that before doing so we often don't realise. Something like stripping the uniform off a soldier, and giving him a hawaian shirt and a pair of shorts.

More "sightings" like that on the tube, well directed, can do much good for our "cause".

I have seen , about 3 months ago , a very simular situation in a french translated version of "Trading Spouses" ... Maybe , it was the same episode !!!

On another show , where somebody has to complete a challenge in order to win a prize , this guy had to go thru a female impersonator transformation , and the challenge was to lipsync one song on stage ...
This guy was totally horrified at the idea of transforming into a female ,
being only once in his life !!! For him , it was just like it's the end of the world !!!
During his performance , he was just standing , his arms on each side hanging morelike frankenstein , not knowing how to move with the rythm of the song !!! It was hilarious !!!
My Gf said "Hey , this moron is constipated" !!!

I bet his reaction surprised the producers who probably hoped for a refusal and outburst that makes for better ratings. While the hippy wife wouldn't have seen the skirt as demeaning it is unexpected an average man being put on television was able to give it a real chance. That is a great sign.

Being television, I am wondering though if the hippy husband and son are regular skirt wearers or if that was being played up for the camera to make the families as different as possible.

Of course, "being Television"...
But nevertheless, it showed two different lifestyles, those which you would naturally expect to clash with each other.

It showed people who apparently wore skirts as a comfortabel natural garment. Nothing sexual or fettish. Just completely normal, and thankfully that message was to be seen at least by me. And it was a chance to show how relaxing a skirt can be.

Be honest, Every man wears a skirt regularly.
What is a towell wrapped around the waist? A skirt made of towell fabric.
A bath robe, is a dress! It is open from underneath, hangs from the shoulders.

And the men love wearing those items.
Sneaky bastards. When we are man enough to wear skirts as such out in the open, we may get ridiculed, or at least we think that we may, by just THOSE men.

It's time they realised how silly they are, denying the use of skirts by men.

More programmes with well directed skirt wearing can do us a world of good, and help other men convince their wives that it is not so abnormal as may be suggested, but actually the denyall is in itself more abnormal....

I know that when I get home, if I spend more than 10 minutes in trousers, my wife comments that I took my time getting a skirt on. One thing I do not do is relax at home whilst in work clothes or trousers.

Who's denying? I haven't encountered anyone yet who denied my wearing a skirt. There's no law, no regulation against it, just one's own mind.

Of course, not everybody will agree; but that's a different matter. And do you need anyone's agreement?

Hallo Jan, vriendelijke groeten!

Yes you are right, sometimes I'm searching for the right words. I was stating the general sentiment of people who don't wear themselves.

To "deny" ( In a broad use of the word) meaning more "It's something I don't know much about, it is something strange men do, and I don't want to think about it,"

Then it is often easier to "deny" what they see rather than accept it, than to have to start the gears in their head and actually think about it. Luckily many people aren't interested in what you wear as long as you leave them be. So they don't make anything of it, and you don't hear anything from them.
