Yeah, and all the indications point to it getting a whole lot worse before (if) it gets better

Coder arrives at a couple of valid conclusions here insofar as beating up on particular body-parts and shapes and the general size of the community and its ability to "drive trends". Face it, we're a tiny community and are very "thin on the ground" when one considers the populati...

And so it came to pass, that after all these years, I've had a moderator "go rogue" and commit one of the more cowardly acts known to modern man -- the anonymous rewriting of history to "cancel" the opinion of another. The net effect of this act of cowardice was to essentially ex...

It is a pertinent point, I have noted that the actual sizes linked to female dress sizes have grown over the year,s a modern size 12 skirt will have bigger waist and hips compared to a vintage size 12 skirt. This is well known and commonly derided as "vanity sizing" where it adjusts the n...

For the win with that post, Faldaguy. Very, very well put. Pick a look that works for you and go with that. It's hard to go wrong that way. Be careful with colour observations, however, lest you fall 'foul of the Cancel Crowd as I recently did and need to formulate a proper response. (The advice fro...

Carl, you may or may not be correct. It's hard to tell. Like a lobster waiting to be plunged into a saucepan of nice warm salty water, it probably has no idea if the hotel will turn a profit this year. Either way, life has a habit of righting itself and nothing lasts very long. I don't blame our wo...

Stevie you reply is built around the notion that men have caused the situation we find themselves in. Men were placed in this situation with the women. And the women escaped the situation because women have historically been allowed greater latitude in behaviour and attire. The cards remained stack...

An olde article, sound familiar? unfortunately the ridiculous file size limit from the days of windows 95 make it hard to read. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1377755973849438&set=a.149316903360024 It wasn't "Windows 95" that was at fault here; Windows 95 was merely a symptom. T...

For this ol' boy, the psychology used to be of importance because I was quite aware of the way I was using non-verbal signalling and "vocabulary" to get a point home. However, in recent times, and the fact that society is getting ever more toxic by the day (as evidenced by some commentary ...

Honestly Carl I think that men are terrified of being seen anything other than the Marlboro man. Or they're rorried about how they'll be perceived by others and what that will do to their "status" in society. So much so that men are in crisis, crisis because the facade is so flimsy that a...

And yet it hasn't happened ? The reason it's not happened yet is that there hasn't be a clear practical reason for it to when addressed by the vast herd of compliant, boring, average, "normal" guys out there - and that will continue to be the case for as long as the status quo remains int...

We can do likewise if we dare.

Hear hear!

Ghandi showed that resistance to oppression can be non-violent and successful. The US civil rights movement was also mostly non-violent. Resistance entails suffering, whether violent or non-violent. I think non-violence will be more effective; the oppressors have greater firepower. Not resisting al...

That was the purpose of the thread. It's very hard to guage. I thought if skirts for men open up it may show up on the likes of eBay. Even if its still kilts and fancy dress its still movement. My original thoughts on the matter mainly put the site of experimentation well up into the semi- and form...

"... closed mouths and open minds." What a beautiful concept1

Too bad it'll never catch on.
