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.

I agree in principle that the teacher moving on was appropriate, but at the same time if we're to be teaching the youngsters how to think we need to steer them actively away from faulty logic. There is never a reason to let a gaffe in thinking off lightly; these problems have lasting effects -- rang...

I don't think that is really a circular argument. I think what they are trying to say is that over time more women wore shirts than men so fewer and fewer men wore skirts until it becomes the norm It may not be the perfect example of a "circular argument", but it's a very, very good one -...

Many of the garments I see for sale with designs on have clearly been photographed separately and then had a design photoshopped on top. This is obvious in the more blatant examples because the design does not follow the shape of the garment. That's just blatant amateurism and really should not hap...

Unfortunately, all the article does is verify the notions I already had that, "If you're not the Marlboro Man you're a nobody." That really has to change, but I don't see that happening now in my lifetime. Things have just gotten too bad -- at least where I live.

So I reckon that that action of Brian's, in the late eighties, to increase sales, was where this thing about them being women’s boots originated. It also very noticeably damaged the global aesthetic by driving "unisex" further into the "butching up" of women. It should be consid...

It's likely worth recalling that for many (if not most) MIS == TV/T*, full stop. So the deck is stacked against us from the get-go. Note that there is no "right way" nor "wrong way" for a man to wear a skirt. However, there are some moderators to behaviours that can be used. 1) D...

Great news, sir! Have fun with the new axe!

As is usually the case. the Devil here lurks in the details -- and in this case that detail is the precise definition of "tube". If one is to use the full definition as given by geometry, then most skirts would not be considered purely cylindrical [0] (e.g "tube" shaped) as they ...

I just tried "the link" and the Youtube video is no longer available. :( "The Link" didn't 'fail', the video was pulled. I could not care less what the reason for the failure was, the fact that it was (1) clickbait and (2) posted completely without context (thus demanding that i...

"Another failed link"? Then stop posting them; they add nothing to the discussion.

[...] Glimpsed around the neck, appears to be a simple chain necklace. This. Is. Not. News. It's been going on since antiquity and can be proved up by things like examining grave-sites. I'm not quite ready for the grave yet, but I've been wearing chains and pendants for a good half-century. So, NOT...

I think perhaps they are scared Mouse, otherwise they might do something meaningful like saying "Clothes are for everyone, so we at M&S will no longer be segregating clothes by sex". That might affect their brand by altering public perception and get them accused of being woke. This i...
