Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"

Amusing story. I had to get a new battery for our car over the winter. Waiting at the battery counter at Canadian Tire with several other people I heard a young man's voice repeat "ma'am" three times before I realised he was trying to get my attention. I calmly said "it's sir" a...

Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"

For a while, now, I have increasingly taken issue with referring to males, who do things seen as traditionally female activities, as "embracing their feminine side." I believe that this is harmful to our cause. The only reason these things are considered female-related in the first place ...

Compliments

I have noted that I get more compliments the closer I get to presenting in a way that will cause people to think that I am trying to "affirm my gender". Now, as a rule, I am always wearing nearly 100% made-for-women clothing, but even within that, there are gradations. I never wear makeup ...

Re: Rest in Peace Queen

The Queen of the United Kingdom Queen of Canada and Australia too. And Bermuda and a dozen other countries of the British Commonwealth. I am broadly supportive of constitutional monarchy. It gives a continuity and focus to the national identity while politicians come and go. In the UK, it also help...

Re: Two books that might be interesting to read

Thank you much for that link, Coder. It speaks volumes in many dimensions. I particularly like this bit: Dressing well isn’t only about respectability politics but the politics of self-respect. We need a return — if not to big codpiece energy, then to anything that will save us from the scourge of ...

Re: Metro: Sean Penn is wrong – men who wear skirts are brave, not cowards

Remember my point from way back: If [rad-fem hate-speech redacted] didn't exist, neither would the ammunition for the toxic feminists. Lets work on reducing the former and hence reduce the latter. There is precisely nothing "toxic" about proper masculinity. What's in play here I suspect i...

John Fluevog Shoes

Recently my browser has been telling people to advertise women's wear to me. I don't know why. :D Anyhow, I am developing a desire to get something from John Fluevog, who has TWO stores in my town. I wouldn't order anything so expensive without trying it on anyway. I will have to make the trip downt...

Re: Mens Suiting Is Drab

I think you're right. It's going to be tough to make it work. Maybe I'll have to have two suits made with a common vest but separate jackets and bottoms. Grrr, more material and more labour. I've seen some pics online of what looked to be standard men's jackets with ankle length a-line skirts that ...

Re: The epilator

I got one inexpensive epilator years ago, about 2 years after getting a Philips Bodygroom. My body and leg hair was always sparse, and I never had any back hair (thank the lord). The epilator is the type that I would call a rolling gear tweezer type, not the coiled spring type. I think most epilator...

Re: Amen Dress

Saw this https://orttu.com/products/amen-dress . Expensive, so I won't be buying it any time soon. But at least it doesn't look stupid, and the models are sporting bare legs (gasp!) in some of the images. I was good with it until the dude's hairy leg slipped out the side and kneed me in the eyeball...

Re: Cooke Men's 2021 collection

The prices can't be very high considering how much fabric they save!

I'd like 11 or 12, with about another 9 inches in length.

Re: Mens Suiting Is Drab

The thirds thing works as floor to knees, knees to natural waist, natural waist to top of shoulders. This is the division on a "traditional" kilt outfit. A men's suit jacket is roughly half the length from shoulder top/base of neck to the floor, dividing the body in half. A shorter jacket...
