Re: Dr Who

I feel like I've touched a nerve. Firstly I would like to establish they are not women's clothes, I'm with Eddie Izzard on that one. Then why did I say it? Because it is that word, that single word 'woman's' that epitomises the struggles we have. There was no coded language. It's right there in your...

Re: Dr Who

BM, I like this post. I am not saying I identify with any of the first part, but the last part I am doing my best to live to the max. Mouse I don't think anyone here does. It's an unfair image of men. Men like women. Men work hard for their families and love their families. We have all of that in c...

Re: Dr Who

The question in my mind has nothing to do with the basis of the show. It had everything to do with attitudes to men, and specifically men that wear "Women's" clothes. Your statement is what's holding men back, strengthening the constructed concept of Men's Clothes versus Women's Clothes. ...

Re: Dr Who

I know Dr. Who has a comedic element - I mean - heck - the entire show is (sort) of a spoof on serious sci-fi. But, do you really think this would have been played for laughs or could it have been done seriously/subtly? I suppose this could also come down to Tennant's own personal thoughts on the m...

Re: Dr Who

He is wrong and he knows it. It's not a mockery of drag. If David T went up on stage in Whittaker's clothes, nobody is going to think he's a drag artist. Drag is caberet. No women is going to think it's a mockery of women. They are going to laugh just as hard as anyone else. If anything a man in fem...

Re: Dr Who

I think it cements the idea that women's clothes are off limits, if anything.
Women know they are not inferior. They know there are things men are better at. They know they don't need to do it themselves. They can get a man to do it.
How is that inferior?

Edit in blue @Barley: Please give me a proof that as a skirted man I can get in a romantic relationship with a woman.This will always get the priority over skirt ;-) I mean, as far as I know, people on board are either alone, either revealed their will to wear skirt after they're already in a stabl...

Mouse the towel was so short that I thought that it could not be used as anything other than an item of clothing. It was no more than a drying up cloth.

Re: Man in skirt wins Eurovision

@Spirou003: Please don't not reconsider. There will always be a reason to not go out there. @Mouse: Totally agree, theres nothing to worry about. The whole non binary thing has become a bit warped. It was a opportunity for all of us to recognise that is ok to put yourself in the other person's shoes...

Re: Man in skirt wins Eurovision

Am I wrong in thinking that the skirt is becoming a non-binary flag? How many of the men at the Met Gala wearing skirts were non-binary, is that a bad thing?

Perceptions of masculinity could be changing from 'man or not man' to a wider bandwidth for men.

Re: Skirts in the sunshine

If you have never set foot outside in a skirt, A sunny day is your perfect cover. You will be invisible. Yes I know a Camouflage skirt.... You look good mouse. The camo skirt and tights are a good combo and a sunny day is perfect for skirt wearing. There's another thing, everyone behind you is look...

Re: Hypothethical Question

Like it or not the UK is a diverse country now with very little left of what the country was 40 years ago let alone 100 years ago. What's my point? Here in the south east I see all sorts of outfits, a man in a skirt is just one of them. Most people, men and women dress in jeans / leggings, and a top...
