Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
I think it is quite valid to have opinions on whether you like tattoos on people you date, but out of line to link tattoos to male or female traits in this age of equality. Bit like linking skirts to females. IMHO I make no bones about the fact this is my foible (one of many; I am human after all),...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
How is someone's tattoo count linked to their sexual preferences?????????????? Traditionally, in the west, tattooing has been a man's activity, primary males who had extensive travel to odd corners of the world (e.g. sailors). It was not the general tendency for women. This reversed fairly recently...

That's what I've been saying all along. I've also given up because I'm tired of wasting breath and keystrokes.rode_kater wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 2:40 pmI deny the existance of boxes altogether. They are all harmful.
Argue your limitations, and lo they are yours.

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
CR you are finding the wrong type of women. Goth, artsy, geeky, tatted, and extremely intelligent women are accepting especially if they have their own off-beat style. I'm in my 60s. A long-range strike would be a 50-year-old goth woman, because teenagers don't interest me. Geeky I can deal with. &...

Re: Hypothethical Question
In inventing the "GNC Box" you're merely isolating yourself even farther from the mainstream. Now, that's your choice, and I'm fine with that. Just don't force it on the rest of us who are trying to "de-gender" the skirt and bring it into our realm -- and many of us are quite com...

Re: Hypothethical Question
It's a slightly odd scenario you depict. One where female attire on men is allowed and encouraged but strictly controlled. Actually, the scenario reminds me of the discussion about the next skirt to gain traction (in Mainstream society). There was at least one thread about that. The speculation ten...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
Are you saying that you think that people involved in suicide prevention would be interested in helping the cause of men wearing skirts to be accepted? I'm not sure what the OP was driving at either, but, if the notion actually showed some efficacy in improving the situation, I can't see why the re...

Re: Hypothethical Question
My take on "GNC" is that it's yet one more attempt to create a "classification" (box) without need. The crux of the matter is not to put anyone in a box. If someone wants to put themselves in a box then they are at liberty to do that, although near impossible if they are dead. I...

Re: To Understand
Thus my almost fanatical rule of taking the "Law of Unintended Consequences" into account when formulating long-term decisions (and even some short-term ones). I've had history come back at me and whack me on the head with a 2x4 when least expecting it. And that's not comfortable.

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large
I'd say that I'd take your sister's grin as a sign of at least early acceptance. So long as you didn't immediately get a sarcastic crack at the time.

Re: I finally wore a skirt in public
I’ll see what I can do but ideally I’d prefer it if I lost a bit weight first before posting a selfie on my pictures page. :) No worries at all on that count. If you're not comfortable, you're not comfortable. We get it. I do like the fact that you have support and guidance in navigating the black ...

Re: Hypothethical Question
I will explain my take on this matter herewith, and I'll allow Al to explain his as his will likely be different from mine. My take on "GNC" is that it's yet one more attempt to create a "classification" (box) without need. We might as well just call the behaviour "effeminat...

Re: Hypothethical Question
I maintain that the boxes some men are containing themselves in, are all in their own head. In some parts of the world there is nothing to stop a man putting on a skirt, going out about his life and being happy. No one is going to stop him doing as he pleases as long as he legally covered and not b...

Re: Hypothethical Question
Here's another question that's germane in the current context: "Why do some of us insist on constructing "boxes" that are even more cramped than the "Man Box" in order to apologise for something that we're doing that (a) is not wrong and (b) harms no-one?"
