I completely agree.

I grew up hearing Free To Be on the record player, but we all know how that turned out, it only really applies to women for most practical purposes. There were so many mixed messages around.

The problem is that women entering traditional male spaces/behaviours (wearing pants, being in the military, being a CEO, etc) makes them "equal", but for some reason men entering traditional female spaces (wearing skirts, rearing children, being a nurse or grade school teacher, etc) makes...

Those product trends only count things from Chinese suppliers, not what males are actually ordering in total, so who knows.

But, the overall use of technology has not really benefited mankind all that much other than to seriously enrich a few billionaires. I was driving in I-75 this morning and a song came on the radio that reminded me of an America's Cup race many years ago. I kind of long for the days when eccentric r...

Back about 25 years ago I remember reading in on one of the networking newsgroups that as bandwidth becomes cheaper it will reach a point where voice will be free as it will no longer be worth the billing effort. My how far we have come. Indeed. I remember the phone bill for my ISDN line coming in ...

Fleece-lined leggings and a short-ish kilt or skirt is warm and allows good of freedom of movement.

Gosh, it was a while back in the halcyon days of 56K or ISDN! Oh my, you just gave me an ISDN flashback. Working on an early website for a big NYC book publisher, working remotely in a rural area. My only choices of ISP were constantly overloaded dialup or getting an ISDN line run some ungodly numb...

I'm kind of with Jim on this one, I live in the country and most of the time I go for what's practical and I won't mind getting dirty or such when I'm working outside or building something. We don't really "go out" to where I'd want to dress up more formally. I do have some flowy, softer s...

Fleece-lined leggings and an above-the-knee kilt are one of my favorite things to wear in the cold weather. It's fun and easy to move in, as well as being warm.

...which suggests the company is based in India so hopefully prices will be similar wherever you are. They are based in India. I think they also have an Etsy shop by the same name. Once I figure out what the tariffs might be (if they don't keep getting changed on a weekly basis) I'm going to order ...

With the colder weather I decided to pull out a few longer skirts that I have not really worn yet. They're soft and flowy and cover my knee when I'm sitting which is a new feeling for me. I'm typically an above-the-knee person. Between the length and the flowy-ness it was a big step out of "the...

I'm thinking of trying this place soon, they make them custom to your measurements: https://seamsfriendly.com/collections/skirts
My waist/hip ratio is definitely not that same as a typical woman.

This phenomena is very common in nudist families. There's a strong urge/pressure to conform to a peer group when they are teens and may or may not re-adopt aspects of that lifestyle when they are adults. My kids are 50-50: the son is shy about nudity and my daughter is raising a family that's very c...

Been spending a lot of time visiting medical facilities lately and I'm usually wearing a kilt or skirt. People generally just notice and then go back to whatever they were doing. Yesterday we were walking past a hallway waiting area, and I was wearing a black Skirtcraft wrap skirt and a hoodie up to...

I have a few of these pull-on skirts with pockets from Halara that are a stretchy soft jersey material and very comfortable. I've seen some similar ones on Amazon and Halara in a midi length. The waistband puts almost no pressure on the mid-section and the rest is very flowy so it's like wearing not...
