Re: The gender creative boy

And so it is with us. Where you see some kind of "percent male" to "percent female" linear sliding scale, I see a scatterplot, maybe in 3D with "biological" on one axis, "psychological" on the other, and "social conventions" on the other. For each o...

Re: Your basic black skirt

There is hope, but it's going to be the quiet practitioner who goes about his daily life clad in something other than trousers that's likely to shift sentiment. The world needs more who have the courage and wherewithal to do so. Unfortunately, recruiting is a daunting challenge because of all the a...

Re: The gender creative boy

...ice skating and reading. Reading ? Really? The very fact that somebody feels the need to celebrate boys who do such ordinary things is deeply worrying. Acting, hmm ... Let me think .... Any films with men in them? ... Nope, can't think of any. Cooking ... Any male chefs, ever? ... No, none, I'm ...

Re: Winter cometh

I feel much more educated now on the topic of petticoats. Thank you. Oddly enough I found what purports to be a guide to buying petticoats at eBay http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-choose-the-best-Petticoat-for-you-/10000000177629782/g.html . It's interesting but frankly I don't know how accurate. I ge...

You might consider putting it up for sale here. Might fetch a good price.

Re: Winter cometh

You guys have thin blood if you need tights when it gets to 40 degrees F at night . (Or course, the guys in Minnesota probably say that about me .) :lol: You have thin blood.

Re: Winter cometh

Winter has cometh in the southern hemisphere and it is too cold for mini skirts. Back to trousers! I don't like the look of long skirts on me. I have been experimenting with thick tights and a pleated denim mini that feels great and I like the look of it, but it is really out there; looks a bit lik...

Re: Pants Throwing and Menskirts Fashion Show

Serious question: This event appears to have been sponsored by an organization of skirt-wearing men. Is there anything like that in the US? Not that I've heard of. There are some small local organizations (usually Celtic) and some Facebook groups and some other sites but nothing really national. We...

Sure, if we can get enough of us together and then get media coverage.

I am shaking my head. I'll leave the praying to someone else.

But yes, I agree completely, and even though I'm unlikely to be shot by a teacher, their skill is vital to our success as a country.

Re: The Perceptible Willy

One of the nice things about skirts is that if one happens to have a bit of a "paunch" (I've got one) is that it makes the skirt stand off somewhat from the natural anatomy below it. Voilà, problem solved! Yep. I have the same non-problem problem. I've never had any willy-showing issue. I...
