Re: MIni Dresses & Skirts for Men

I don't understand how you say this is a superficial act. What do you think it takes other than everyone having equal rights consider to be good for society? I'm not referring to pleadings for equality/equal treatment as superficial - but rather linking skirt wearing (or more broadly, fashion freed...

Re: MIni Dresses & Skirts for Men

Not to be a contrarian, but I think we are being kind of disingenuous and a bit selfish to think what we are doing "empowers women". Yes - we are making an equality statement (of sorts) and we can direct conversations towards equality if fashion/clothing is brought up. But we are primarily...

Re: David Ross Lawn

Do you think they are just looking away? If you were in their family then they would act in the same way as your own family? The stigma exists, but I still think it's the initial step that is more of a wall than a step. I don't know. I would say strangers have never averted their eyes - but I also ...

Re: David Ross Lawn

With #2, there's a major stigma we the common folk are going against and trying to overcome. I live in a conservative small town. I'm almost always in a skirt, although I wear trousers or a dress once in a while. I don't find any major stigma. Probably some folks used to talk about me behind my bac...

Re: David Ross Lawn

Ahh - his posts occasionally appear in my feed, and I wondered what his deal was. There are two kinds of Instagram MIS posts: 1) The celebrity type, ie, David Ross Lawn and others (not sure if marc b fits into this category), where social position lets them wear what they want and they are celebrate...

I was going to say - just freeze it! However, that will only last so long unless the location’s temperature is below freezing.

Re: Duckfeet: Kilt in advertising

Just wanted to add - they also sent this to their email list as well. Very rarely do they feature men in their advertising, and if so they usually are in their more "masculine" styles. I have three pairs of their shoes (lolland, himmerland, mols) - I'm unfortunately between sizes in their ...

Re: Duckfeet: Kilt in advertising

Duckfeet has got to stop calling these "Mary Jane" and listing them as "women's shoes." Elsewhere they're saying that all their footwear is unisex. Agreed - which is why I call them “strap shoes”. It does bug me that they call them mary janes and yet list them as unisex AND have...

Re: So my wife got me a handbag for Christmas….

I use one when I need one. Of the ones I have my favorite is shaped like a piece of toast with an egg on it - gotten some positive comments at the checkout at a small store, and also on the street during an art fair. When I use it I feel like I'm *really* telling the world IDGAF about fashion rules,...

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.
