Re: The New York Times: Defining Nonbinary Work Wear

Oh yes, and over the last 7 years, very few people have asked about my gender identity, including prospective employers.

Re: The New York Times: Defining Nonbinary Work Wear

What fight? The last few years I have almost never worn menswear ANYWHERE. About a year ago I bought my first pair of Carhart’s … work legging. They’re great! Ballistic nylon fabric, heavy duty construction, LOTS of functional pockets. But I do get comments. The other day as I walked to lunch the mo...

Re: 70's men's fashion - what the heck happened since then?

I’ve only skimmed the responses, to give myself more credit than I deserve. I turned 20 in 1970 so I’d say I had a ringside seat for what happened in the’70’s. To put it a little cryptically I’d say, “Follow the money.” To put it politically, I’d say, “Ronald Reagan.” If you look at the economy in t...

Re: Discoveries when you started wearing skirts

My most consequential discoveries are: People like the authentic me (the one who wears “womenswear” everywhere more than the socially acceptable me (the one who wears pants or shorts as he is supposed to). Because people value authenticity and instinctively applaud and support the people who live th...

Re: Will skirts for men finally catch on in Generation Z?

OMG! What is it going to take to put this notion that men aren’t allowed to wear skirts and dresses in public? Look through these posts for how many of us wear skirts everywhere if not women’s wear exclusively. Do you think we would continue to do that if we got non-stop crap for doing so? Do I thin...

Re: No trousers day

It is amazing how often modern “improvements” destroy ingenious, energy-efficient designs.

As to the day itself; I hope the word of this doesn’t get out or Portland, Oregonians will insist on putting more of our light rail system underground.

Re: I just don't understand...

Ultimately, Carl and Moonshadow are right; at the end of the day, collectively, we Americans have got to get our heads screwed back on right. And that it starts by owning up to what we have gotten wrong. However, in the meantime, we need to turn down the volume of the violence. These mass shootings ...

Carl said, Yeah, and the OP missed the memo that the US has not operated as a republic with democratic representation since 2000 at the latest, and more likely the mid 1990s.
