I don't know enough about the cultures to presume, however I would be really careful as it is one thing to be thought of as gay here in the UK, and quite another in some countries.

I wouldn't go near one, that's the last kind of association men in skirt needs. I think the pride movement has allowed the space for a whole range of minorities to live in a civilised world. Please note, around the world, places where the pride movement is not accepted are probably also tough place...

I think in 10 years time, the vast majority of people, both male and female will still be in a range of ordinary boring easy to wear clothes. You see this in what the average woman wears now compared with a few years ago. There will still be the stand out people both male and female who you notice i...

Mouse, I love your answers and your view of the world. I hope that someday the Cafe and MIS will have an ambassador, and it will be you. I really look forward to your posts and words of wisdom. You have a lot of great experience and view to share along with abundant optimism. Jamie, you are too kin...

I thank the gods daily that I have no progeny. I glimpsed what this place was going to become in the late 1970s and swore I would never have children. I do not believe I could take the hatred of a child for bringing him or her (verbiage used very, very deliberately) into the world. And hate me they...

Hey there! Hi Alexsunshine. It is good that you have stopped by and great that you have posted! We are a mixed bunch of skirt wearing men with a few brilliant supportive partners on the site as well. If you post a couple more times, you will become a full member and be able to see all of the site w...

In addition to flamers and drag queens, men who take on made up feminine names and pretend to be women when they present en femme , harm our cause. John John, this is very true. Men that attempt to deceive everyone into believing that they are women are very harmful to the concept of fashion freedo...

Speaking of unique fashion choices, have you ever thought about wearing a latex skirt? It's a totally different style, but it can also be a cool and bold way to stand out. Maybe not the best for driving, but perfect for a party or a convention ! Hi Alexsunshine, I have made a couple of latex skirts...

I believe the Scots think of themselves as part of the “Western cultures”.

This side of the pond we didn't get this show. What we got, was an animation called Captain Pugwash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj1XX4sCibY

The first time I wore a skirt in public was in a Christmas scene when I was a kid and had to play a shepherd.

The utility kilt could be seen as the opposite effect: men have taken the skirt and restricted it so that it can only be worn in one length and in drab colours. So true, MB. It has always annoyed me that even the utility kilt makers often have a much wider range of colours and lengths, if they make...

Yes, especially when used in passwords where 1, l and I are all very similar as are 0 and O.

One of the joys I have, while travelling around is observing what women wear, mainly with a view to including new things in the Mouse wardrobe. However a thought came to me yesterday. We talk about women stealing the trousers worn by men, but you look around and they may have started with what men w...
