Re: Dua Lipa’s SNL performance featuring skirted male dancers

Who, for instance, is paying attention to male-specific cancers? Who is paying attention to the epidemic of male suicide? Who is paying attention to the problem of male depression (which links strongly into suicide)? NOBODY . Well, I don't know about the US (which I regard as to some extent a broke...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

I thought that if you can't wear a skirt at a progressive rock concert, then when can you wear one? So I got out a pleated mock-leather black skirt that I've never dared to wear before. Also a cropped T shirt (ditto), though I started the evening with a sweatshirt covering that. No comment at all at...

Re: Things that go together

Coffee and Music DO go together :D They most certainly do. J. S. Bach performed regularly in a local coffee house in Leipzig, and wrote a miniature comic opera known as the "Coffee Cantata". I was once told that Brahms couldn't get down to composing until he had had a cup of strong black ...

Re: kilt wearing

I shall be at my father's funeral next Thursday, so I shall be getting out the proper Scottish-style kilt and trappings, as the most acceptable skirt option in such a situation. It's the appropriate tartan for the surname, even if his family did come from quite the other end of the island of Great B...

Re: Hypothethical Question

We can used “newspeak” to our advantage. Men that loose touch with new concepts are going to get left behind and will stagnate while others will move forward and accomplish their goals. No, "newspeak" is well discredited by anybody over about 50. We have vastly different backgrounds, upbr...

Re: Ultra thick tights

I have found crotchless tights to work well for these purposes and find it easier than garters (suspenders to you). I have found "mock suspender tights" very practical, except when you have to spend several minutes untwisting them before putting them on. I had one experience with six-stra...

I am going to guess that they are actually full-skirted coats or surcoats.

Re: bike riding

Why not get a girl’s bike with no center bar and avoid the problem. If I was into biking, I would get a pink or lavender girl’s bike. I had a girl's bike when I was at college. I figured that (a) I would be able to lend it to more people, and (b) if I ever got a kilt, then I could ride the bike whi...

Re: What feminine items do you wear?

For all my feminine aspects I prefer to talk to my fellow men at church, even when I'm dressed en femme . I'll talk to anyone, but I am conscious of feeling vaguely uncomfortable in all-male environments. It first struck me at a get-together for ex-pupils of my (all-male) school. In an all-male env...

Re: Intimate Medical Issues

I once consulted a doctor for a small growth on my leg, and wore a kilt since it made access a lot easier. Of course, he didn't turn a hair.

Re: Sir Garyson Perry is "just a man who likes to wear dresses"

Yes, there is a lot of Grayson Perry on YouTube and it is interesting. One thing is, he uses "transvestite" to describe himself quite a bit.... I think the term is too much criticized, perhaps because of a connection with sexuality which is not always appropriate. While binary clothing st...

Re: The boundary between skirt wearer and TV

Hi, Long time lurker and skirt wearer, although not in public yet. trying to work up the courage. Just curious where the boundary comes between skirt wear and TV.
