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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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 ...

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...

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...

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?"

Unfortunately not during our lifetimes. If we don't start taking action, nobody is going to do it for us -- because nobody's particularly interested especially given the abject failures of many larger societies. And we're not going to achieve it by apologising for our actions, either, and this GNC ...

How about this: "When will men once again be allowed to be fully human?

I agree with Carl to the degree that it applies more to men than women; my take on that is that perhaps 80-90% of women have expanded what is acceptable where probably only 1% at most of men have made that move. That is the crux of my argument, and I have never liked arming an enemy by giving them ...

All men can escape slavery to the Man-Box by crossdressing. Crossdressing is good for the mind and the soul. You missed the point of the idea. This is Deuteronomy 22 in action for real -- it's about deception ! Women cross-dress all the bloody time. Does anybody give them grief? No. The only ones w...

I have a better suggestion how about “GNC for All Men”. lol just kidding. OK, and I am not kidding here, I call B.S. on "GNC" here and now . Why? Because it's just going to be one more damned cudgel to beat men with. Have you ever heard of a woman getting chastised for being "gender ...
