Not a Joke

My wife and I went shopping today in a nearby town. We were hungry, so we bought sandwiches and a drink and sat on a public bench to consume them. The nearest building to us was some kind of public building with a sign outside saying "Assessment Centre". We saw a scruffily-dressed couple i...

Wear a skirt, be your own hero

Re: Treacher wore a dress to school

I think the issue here isn't so much that he wore a dress to school, but rather the entirety of his behaviour aimed at drawing attention to himself with flamboyant costumes over a period. That's a distraction schools generally don't like. I think the school should not have suspended him, but rather ...

Re: Are Skorts Going Mainstream in Menswear?

I suspect that, if skorts are to go mainstream, it might start with boys rather than menswear. They are often marketed as "kids' skorts" rather than specifying they are for girls and they make a great compromise. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Re: BCC

My doctor saw thew lesion a few days ago and I now have an appointment with the dermatologist booked for early next week. It has since grown, changed colour and shape, so I will be glad to have it looked at. The usual procedure after that is a waiting list for minor surgery and it will be removed, e...

Re: A standard skirt for work....

This is the main link to Wink Scrub Skirts :D Regular prices aren't too bad either :D Hope this helps :D They look good and are exceptionally good value. I don't see why they are described as "women's" though. What is there about them which means they are only suitable for female employee...

Re: Girls in Sport.

On average, boys are more inclined to be garrulous, competitive and aggressive than girls, as well as less risk averse. That means it's more common for boys to take to physically-demanding sports than for girls.

Fixed that for you ;-)
It didn't need fixing. I have worked with feminist writings and theories to know what it's really all about. And it eschews equality, something we on here are fighting to achieve.

Re: Are Skorts Going Mainstream in Menswear?

Hi Stevie

I wondered if any of the pictures were of skorts, but of course they are designed to look like skirts, so I'm not sure we could tell.

Will skorts for men go mainstream? I'd like to think so, but I'm not convinced. I thought I would share the article anyway.

Are Skorts Going Mainstream in Menswear?

“I think skorts have lost their radical meaning on the runway. What used to be a statement about subverting gender norms has actually become just that: the norm.” —Alexandra Hildreth

Thanks for reminding me. I haven't seen that for a while. I think it has disappeared into the great black hole void known as "Stu's Laundry". A green skirt hunt is called for.

Re: A standard skirt for work....

Ah! A Roman Originals. I have two of theirs, including the red one shown below - and my most recent acquisition - the cargo skirt (listed as grey, but I would say it's black. My wife says the red one reminds her of the Virgin Airways cabin crew uniform. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RG68enQW...

Re: BCC

Thanks for the replies. It looks as though I will shortly be referred to a dermatologist shortly who will be taking a chunk of flesh from my cheek.

Ah well...
