Re: Interesting old (oct 2020) Mumsnet forum, mainly about Mark Bryan

[Women] are picky because they can be picky. If male fashion freedom became more widespread. They would swifty change their mind. As a thought experiment, wind this thought forward a few moves. It'll reveal the circular logic that's holding any and all progress at bay. Men are not going to move bec...

Re: Male anatomy

How about "leggings" that are so tight that they reveal a woman's "personal grooming habits"? How's that sit with you? Not directed at me, but I'll answer anyway: Nope. Not okay with that. I'd say both men and women should be concealing certain things, to varying degrees, in pub...

Re: Ballet Flats and Mary Janes Back on the Runway

This is good news. If skirts for men are going to catch on, we need shoes for men to go with them. Most men's formal shoes are ugly, and better partly hidden under a trouser cuff...

Re: Moral Outrage Because of a Small Clip

The outage wasn't just about the boy in a skirt, but his "gay dads." All the cited tweets in the article pointed that out as well. This wasn't just boy-in-a-skirt outrage, it was boy-raised-by-gay-couple-in-a-tutu outrage. Why does this matter? It wasn't the skirt by itself, or even the fa...

Re: Article in The Guardian by a man who wears skirts

I was not aware of that - interesting. I'd always assumed that it was a fairly widespread practice throughout the western world and other places where Christianity was the dominant religion. I was really surprised when I moved to the US and found that many women chose not to take their hubsters nam...

Re: Male anatomy

On the front panel of most of my skirts, I place two knife pleats facing outward (away from each other). This provides a little extra space for boy parts, kind of accentuating and concealing at the same time -- if that makes sense. (Obviously no zipper in the front. And not feasible on kilts.) This...

Re: Making a skirt to go with my man's suit coat

I take the same approach with suit separate style matching, but with ready made skirts. I don't go past knee length, typically, so proportions are more of an issue. I can solve that a bit with slimmer fit men's jackets that tend to be cut shorter as well. Not perfect, but better. I want to try modif...

Re: Christian Bretheren lumping us in with the crossdressers again.

I actually did bring up kilt wearing and the general idea of male skirt wearing on a Catholic forum, and got some discussion, not outright condemnation. That was over a decade ago. I feel like things have changed a bit, for the negative, and online is a bit nastier nowadays. I suppose it depends on...

Re: Christian Bretheren lumping us in with the crossdressers again.

…provided it's already accepted as part of local culture, though I do see a "chicken and egg" paradox forming here, where as how does one change culture without trendsetters that are willing to buck established norms? That’s the part I’ve been struggling with - because I do think in 100 y...

Re: Skirt wearing boys in Japan

1. March on, wear what you want. Take the flack and sacrifice whatever gets in the way of that. 2. Blend in, become the "grey man". That is wear bland in offensive clothes that they say we can wear 3. Join the LGBTQ+ group and fight for universal acceptance and wear what you want. 4. Give...

Re: New Technologies

It's already being done, but it is basically messy layers of concrete piled up... Same issues as the cheap filament printers available to regular people, just on a larger scale: no...
