Re: Progress, not for some.

By your view in putting in proper perspective is this: We men shouldn't even try to change people's minds about us having a right and be accepted in wearing anything, because it's a waste of time and the odds is against us getting to change their minds. Such a negatived view you have. It's your vie...

Re: Progress, not for some.

If this couple has true love love for each other then they both should seek help from counseling services and find if their relationship can be fix. I'm very skeptical people who are of that type - especially early on in a relationship - are apt to change. But let's say - for sake of argument - thi...

Re: Progress, not for some.

Once more, fake or real? I wonder that myself, but ultimately, does it matter? This story will hit the news cycle, and will hopefully bring up discussions in households. And frankly, even if the actual story is fake, this has likely happened to men in the past. What's great about that section on Re...

Still - while you were just joking there are people that want to paint the extremes with broad brushes and I truly believe if we can tone down the rhetoric, meaningful conversations can be had.

Re: National Skirt Day

ironic the part about the far right, since the klu klux klan outfit is essentially a dress. You are making a false assumption here - that a far right person approves of or aligns themselves with the kkk - I know a lot of far right people, and none sympathize with that group. If they did I’d disown ...

Re: Treacher wore a dress to school

I think it would really helpful for men wearing "feminine" garments to wear them as MEN with their masculine identities instead of pretending they are women. I've been going to open knitting sessions a the local yarn shop - so far only women seem to go to these - but I too retain my mascu...

Re: Redbrick: The ‘Babygirlification’ of Men

The maid dress thing is part of the forced feminisation fantasy that men allegedly have. Never experienced that one, I was a willing volunteer. Steve. I never really looked into the TikTok videos to get a sense of what they were about, but if that was the deal then well, yucky to air one’s ishes al...

Certainly doesn't and will not alter the usual rules of engagement as we see them anytime soon. None of it does. And yet... is this death by a thousand cuts? Does this article reach only but a small portion of the population, and make it OK in their minds? And other articles reach other people? Not...

Re: Redbrick: The ‘Babygirlification’ of Men

but it could be that the author is suggesting that reading books is girly, in turn suggesting that we need not take anything this writer says seriosuly. LOL - I missed that. I rarely take these articles as serious pieces of journalism (there have been a few exceptions). However... I do think others...

Re: YourTango: Male Robotics Engineer, Football Coach & Married Dad Of 3 Wears Heels Because The Higher The Heel The Mor

Why doesn't the media do hundreds of articles on those people? Nothing against Mark, but these stories are getting very repetitive. Hell, even Carl was interviewed by the media once, but I don't see hundreds of articles posted about him. I'm just genuinely curious as to what makes Mark's case so sp...

Marc B article - I didn't try to see if this was new or regurgitation from another source. The linked TikTok is from 2020, but the Instagram post is from Feb 19, 2024.

Article title made me look, that's pretty much it. I've never heard of this trend, but I don't spend any time on TikTok or social media in general.

Re: More gender neutral retail

So they have had a male model, and they are open to male customers, even if they don't seem on the face of it to be trying very hard in that direction. Their stores are in Portland (Oregon) and Los Angeles, so it would probably be surprising to see their stuff routinely listed on UK sites. On occas...
