Re: Skirt wearing boys in Japan

I would say that 2 and 4 are different. Two would include things like kilt wearing, striving for that "invisible" skirt in denim or khaki, and so on. This still furthers the cause... The option 2 that you have described would mean enlarging the Man Box somewhat, by adding a few skirt desi...

Re: Skirt wearing boys in Japan

The adoption of Western styles . Note that a nativist reaction began during the 1890s; however, western styles became accepted as work wear during the 1880s. An important lesson here? The Japanese nation ended up with, in effect, a dual wardrobe. It seems that the Western styles eventually became pa...

Re: Mixing Menswear & Womenswear

We're not just several standard-deviations from the middle of the curve, where we are there is no curve . We're trying to shift the entire curve for guys, or at least expand the plotting area. It'll happen eventually, but it's going to happen one guy at a time who realizes that "here NOT be dr...

This may be even more true today, because what looks like a skirt may actually be skorts.

Re: Mixing Menswear & Womenswear

I believe I explored this before, but imagine the typical "bell curve" when it comes to population analysis and superimpose it on clothing styles. The gals have access to the full curve from the very "masculine" at one end to the extremely "feminine" at the other. The ...

Re: Hypothethical Question

1. Only skirts in manly color palettes like black, brown, blue, and gray will be accepted. No baby blue, pastel or the colors. What shade of black, brown, blue, or gray would you like? 2. Only skirts made from heavy material are accepted so that they will appear to be really masculine. No light and...

Some of Irish kilts are solid colors. Saffron is one such color, and I also believe green is.

Re: Hypothethical Question

Can't you have your cake and eat it too? In one sense, yes. Members have occasionally commented that when they wear skirted rigs in public, they take special care to make the outfit look good. Thinking carefully about how different items should go together. So members will wear particular items for...

Re: Hypothethical Question

In my opinion, the moment we conflate skirts with gender, we've lost the average guy -- and that's where the target audience is. As I said, "lofty goals". Language is important. The trick is to make skirts seem normal for the average guy. The average un -GNC guy. And this is hard not only...

Re: Hypothethical Question

Your choice of clothing such as skirts and adornment do not indicate that you are gender confused. It simply indicates that you prefer skirts and possibly other clothing items and adornments that are prevalent among the opposite biological sex. Or used to be prevalent. Not so much any more. I was b...

Noticing people reacting to Starship Troopers] on YouTube, I was reminded of this topic.

Theory that civilization is morphing into a super-organism, or meta-organism.
