Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
I just thought about it by reading latest Grok's message: another way of supporting them, if you have in the outer part of your home a big and visible area that could be covered with publicity (ideally located in an animated street), to propose these specialized retailers (who we are happy from the...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
There have been a very few businesses that have marketed skirts for men, and have survived. (See the Links section). These are small, quite specialized companies. What we can do, besides wearing skirted rigs in public, is support those few companies with our purchases. But this is always how counte...

Doing away with "Embracing feminity"
For a while, now, I have increasingly taken issue with referring to males, who do things seen as traditionally female activities, as "embracing their feminine side." I believe that this is harmful to our cause. The only reason these things are considered female-related in the first place i...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
You seam to have too narrow view of the market. I might be only male in my community goes out openly wearing dresses and skirts. Look, I'm not trying to stop you in your retail-oriented crusade, I'm just pointing out the hard realities of the matter. Knock yourself out if you wish, but numbers do n...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
Make all the "rucus" you wish bur telling retailers how to conduct their business isn't the demand that will get a response. Retailers will change marketing strategies when a significant cross section of men demonstrate the demand with hard earned cash. While the MIS movement may be growi...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day
Thanks for ponting this out! So…if the retailers/vendors respond to demand, then, why don’t we start making a rucus? Why don’t we start calling retailers/vendors and demand that they acknowledge this day? While most won’t there is a chance that one will see the marketing potential in doing so (Ivy C...

Re: Silly reasons for wearing a skirt.
I like to pretend I am a rocket ship. You can’t do that with pants.

Re: Gender Neutral Fashion is failing skirt-wearing boys
So, unless they are dressing up as Aramis in The Three Musketeers , maybe leave the frills and laces for the girls. How is this any better than “leave skirts and dresses for the girls?” I love frills and laces on myself and on the ladies. In general, with few exceptions, I believe all humans look b...

Is Stylesock legitimate?
I found this site, https://www.stylesock.com/ Which offers alternative male fashion. Has anyone ordered from this site? Looking at various “scam advisor”-style websites rate this as possibly a scam, but there is nothing conclusive from what I see. Browsing through the products, I was somewhat encour...

Re: Guardian article on men wearing skirts
There is no magic formula, just sheer bloody mindedness and perseverance. Overcome, some day but certainly not overnight that is for sure. Steve. Yup! Stubbornness is key! It also helps to have a rebellious streak, in my case. Every time somebody suggests I should be wearing pants, the clothing onl...

Re: Sexual Fetish or Gender Expression?
True, there is no law - but there doesn't need to be a law. All they need to do is: 1. Apply intense social pressure to make skirt-wearing by males a taboo, and they achieve that by conflating it with femininity, or transsexualism etc. The media supports this line. Males who do wear them are either...

Re: Sexual Fetish or Gender Expression?
I bristle when people bring sexual fetish into this topic. I can't help but feel how absurd it is to even bring it up. Imagine if somebody asked me if I have a sexual fetish for having a sweet tooth, or for enjoying videogames. It would be completely out of place for them to do this, because there's...

Re: Mathematics
Even mathematicians don’t necessarily give the same answer. A number theorist or algebraist would tell you that 2 + 2 is means different things under different circumstances. But that doesn’t mean that truth is fungible. Definitions matter, and deduction matters. R squared factors matter. Change poi...

Re: Some of my art
The story is what’s important. An editor can tidy it up for you if necessary. Some of the most popular authors in the world by their own admission are not the best writers. Don’t worry unless you’ve got your sights on a Nobel prize That's true, I guess. The problem is not a matter of it being rough...
