Re: Skirt/dress-wearing vs. Masculinity
moonshadow, I like what you say about 'the lines between "masculine" and "feminine" '. Sorry about your dad's deteriorating health. It's interesting what you say about men and anger and rage. In my family, it was always my mother who expressed anger and rage. I can't remember a t...

Re: Vogue: "It’s Official: Men Are Shopping for Skirts More Than Ever Before"
This is in New York City, so "more than ever before" might be more meaningful there. And it is, after all, in cities like New York where something like men wearing skirts will become real. It's only much later that it will become a thing outside of major cities.

From South Africa
I've seen two articles about Rich Mnisi, a clothing designer in South Africa, who has gotten into wearing skirts. https://citizen.co.za/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/2546587/five-times-men-looked-great-in-skirts/ and https://www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/rich-mnisi-skirt-mens-f...

Re: Article about boys wearing skirts as a protest in Quebec school
You would have to go back quite a few centuries for that to be accurate. Women were painting pictures and composing symphonies as far back as the late 18th century and some examples still exist. The fact that women were accomplishing major things as far back as the 18th century doesn't mean that my...

Re: Article about boys wearing skirts as a protest in Quebec school
I didn't say that women hadn't contributed to science - of course they have. Some women have been very talented scientists, artists and so on. In my own field of research, I have the greatest respect for some female scholars. But the hard reality is that they are massively outnumbered by men in the...

Re: Article about boys wearing skirts as a protest in Quebec school
I'm curious to know more about this. Do you know where I can read more about this?As far as Einstein goes, there's been a strong case made that perhaps Albert's greatest achievements were actually the result of his first wife's work and thinking.
Thanks for your reply to Stu.

Re: Harry Styles wearing skirts and dresses
I particularly find this quote in the Vogue article https://www.vogue.com/article/harry-styles-cover-december-2020 interesting. “And he’s a big inspiration to a younger generation—about how you can be in a totally free playground when you feel comfortable. I think that he’s a revolutionary.” This is...

Re: Article about boys wearing skirts as a protest in Quebec school
Stu, you ask, "Can anyone explain to me how the uniform at this school is either sexist or sexualises students? It just looks like a pretty standard school uniform to me." From the follow-up article, it says: The suppression of women’s clothing perpetuates the act of victim-blaming, reaffi...

Article about boys wearing skirts as a protest in Quebec school
Ran into this article about boys wearing skirts at a school in Quebec as a protest. It is in part a protest against the labeling of a man who wear skirts as somehow not a "real man". https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/10/18/sexist-dress-code-protest-toxic-masculinity-homophobia-canada-high-sc...

Re: Wendy Williams backlash over "men in skirts and heels"
An article on nbcnews.com on her comments indicates that her comment on skirts and heels was probably meant as a dig at Billy Porter for wearing them at the Academy Awards. Not that that justifies it, but it explains why she would have singled out gay men for wearing them. It would be nice if her co...
