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

Went to the Ann Arbor Art fair skirted on Thursday (all day) and Friday (just for 45 minutes to pick something up). It's a pretty liberal town, and routinely see all manner of individuals, so I don't think I stood out that much. Garnered two compliments on my skirt print (foxes on a green backgroun...

Re: On the topic of chatbots...

I’m sorry, but I respectfully disagree that ScotL is a chatbot. An argument could definitely be made for excessive posting that is problematic for a moderator to sort through, but nothing appeared suspicious to me about his posts. Contrary to an opinion previously stated, I found his posts to be gen...

Re: Successful kilt debut at church

I was fortunate to find a large size in a wide width and all leather without any bling for $70, including shipping! Where :?: :?: :?: :?: I've yet to find any "riding boots" in my size, that are affordable. Uncle Al :mrgreen: :ugeek: :mrgreen: eBay! They were used, but must have been bare...

Re: Purple Rain 20% off sale

I’ve been enjoying the kilt a lot. I’ve taken ti changing into it for the drive home after work. Been nice. Like the length but know what you mean about the coverage. I guess though I’m still in that “it’s nice to have the ability to snap it and make it seem like shorts” I had to satisfy my curiosi...

Re: Purple Rain 20% off sale

To those who have tried both the purple rain skirt and kilt. Any difference in sizing? It’s the same, but keep in mind that the kilt feels different from the skirt due to the drawstring and narrower waistband. The skirt is a little shorter as well. The skirt’s wider waistband doesn’t work quite the...

Re: A deep curtsey!

I, like you, prefer women in skirts. But since they are not being worn by the women folk. I decided it would be such a shame if all these wonderful skirts went to the land fill. Since 2015 I've rescued probably 60 skirts from certain destruction. However I'm in a marriage with a wife that unfortuna...

Re: A deep curtsey!

The issue of women not understanding why men would want to wear skirts is complex. In a nutshell, I believe there is a deep-seated, unconscious mindset within the psyche of many females that males remain superior to females, and that to be “masculine” is more desirable than being “feminine”. Clothin...

Re: Intellectual Takeout: When Men Say ‘Yes’ to the Dress

There will always be fundamental differences between the sexes—it is the way we’re wired, but that wiring is not always absolute or universal. How we are wired is a complex discussion for another thread. One stereotypical sex trait: males tend to be more aggressive than females, but for the outliers...

Re: Intellectual Takeout: When Men Say ‘Yes’ to the Dress

I think that in a utopian society, the terms “masculine” and “feminine” do not even exist. To perpetuate their use also perpetuates stereotypes and places societal limitations based on one’s sex. Physically we are assigned as male or female at birth for the obvious reason of procreation. There’s no ...

It could also be the screen resolution of your phone - is it an older model?
It’s actually a 14. Just got it a few weeks ago. Maybe I inadvertently messed up something trying to maximize readability for my aging eyes😄.

Re: Board index help

Thanks Coder! The safari zoom setting was the issue. I had to adjust it to 85% to view the entire page (only horizontally) which seems odd, but at least the board index page is no longer cut off. I’m still perplexed as to why it became an issue out of the blue. I don’t remember adjusting anything, a...

Re: Board index help

The site is responsive - so if you have a narrow screen, the "Last post" column will not show - try looking at the page with your iPhone horizontally. If I'm misunderstanding the issue, let me know. I have tried viewing it horizontally. This is perplexing because it works fine on my iPad ...

Re: Board index help

I’m still looking for a solution to my board index problem on my iPhone. I’m logged in but only see the topics with no recent posts listed. There’s got to be a simple solution to this. Cache is cleared, cookies deleted. Any iPhone savvy, website gurus on the forum?
