Re: Work-School Dress Codes

There was a time some business establishments require men staff to wear kilts. This dress code was drop because of unruly women didn't understand of keeping their hands to themselves. By removing this dress code more than likely change the atmosphere a customer would experience. But not just the cus...

Re: Work-School Dress Codes

I think smartness, especially for a job, is when the owner wishes to present their business, especially the customer facing side, of a certain standard. I would expect this to be known at the time of engagement, and if that is not suitable to the applicant, then they should look elsewhere rather th...

Body Shaming

We all hate body shaming, but women are boding shaming men on their fashion choices. It just not just us wearing dresses and skirts. They will body shame us for wearing same type of top they are wearing. They denounce any man that wear V cut top especially if it's a deep V cut top. Their chest is be...

Re: Closing Window of Opportunity

TM we have acceptance for men in skirts. People now accept that the population is diverse. We can freely go about our business in a skirt or a dress it's our choice what we choose to wear. Yes there are some corners of society where it is still frowned upon. Ok you can't have everything and it will...

Re: Getting past fears of being perceived as gay, trans, etc.

There is also the question of possession which remains unanswered. Who owns skirts? Are women entitled to say "our skirts"? When I said stop the sexualization of dress and skirts, it's implied that no one group can claim ownership any garment. Going to the Bible God made same garment (gow...

Re: Getting past fears of being perceived as gay, trans, etc.

Wear skirt or a or a dress and some will think you are gay or trans. It can't be helped. Heh, I started a list a little while back... A man in a skirt MUST be gay, trans, opportunistic, fetishistic, weak, emasculated, weird, or insane—or maybe he's crossdressing, rebelling, or doing a lark 😂 It def...

Re: Skirts, at what cost?

What was the reason or justification for requiring men to wear short hair? Was there a similar requirement for women to wear long hair? Don't recall mention of womens hair. —snip--- A warning to keep in mind regarding non-conventional examples of self expression, such as MIS, nail polish, diverse j...

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

Jim, there is still other options you can use. Find a top you like to wear with and put that tail of that top inside the skirt and with safety pins punned it to the skirt, like a dress. This is another possible solution without any sewing. There is this possibility using a cloth belt yon can add sna...

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

As I pick up my skirts at a thrift store that doesn't allow trying things on, I've had the issue of the skirt being too loose several times. Another solution I've tried is adding belt loops. Fine for a work skirt if I use very strong thread, but I don't have the skill (or maybe the patience) to mak...

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

If women start going topless tomorrow and would have teenage girls doing the same. Even though the the 10th circuit granted women in that district to go topless including teenage girls, what it didn't do it left a law on the books that put every person has a security camera in for violating Child Po...

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

Anyway, my point is that it is harder for women to have the freedom to dress as men do than for men to have the freedom to dress as women do . If the map shows more permissive laws than is correct, it supports my main point more. Jim, I understand from all practical purpose you are coming from. I t...

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

Not quite. It is much more acceptable for men to be topfree than women. In most states in the US, it's legal, but a topfree woman would expect more social trouble than a man in a dress. I'm speaking from the experience of myself and my wife. The green colored states are those where top freedom is i...

Re: Skirts, at what cost?

In these countries, wearing a skirt as a guy is cross-dressing which in deemed a homosexual act. Same sex relationships may carry the death penalty? Would you have enough faith in the legal codes of these places to take the risk and I doubt that imprisonment would be a bundle of laughs either. OK, ...

Re: Slips

I know this has been mentioned before, but I have always regarded slips as expressing femininity and that is something I am keen to avoid. Slips tend to be silky and often have a lacy hem - both of which add to the feminine aspect and most males run a mile from that. A childrenswear retailer recent...
