Congratulations vendeebeaches! Great achievements should not go unnoticed. Coming home we got on the bus and ended up sitting opposite a woman with a young daughter, about nine/ten years old. She looked at my skirt then up at me and gave me the best accepting smile you could ask for. Hopefully young...

Man wants to wear a macho trad-kilt? Go for it? Wanna wear a floral sun dress? Why not? It's their body, they should clad it as they see fit! In theory, I agree with Moonshadow. However, many of us, in our work and personal life, have to relate to other people who do not wish to associate with some...

I have always held the belief that clothing is functional, not sexual, but it needs to be styled according the body shape of the wearer. I know plenty of men who are big enough on top for a bra to be helpful, and I know plenty of women who are so small that a bra is useless. In another aspect, why s...

That's the easy one. Leviticus 18:22, the supposed commandment-like teaching against male homosexuality. Of course it doesn't refer to skirts but it is the underpinning of fundamentalist understanding of sex roles and challenging gendered social norms like dress is in the simple fundamentalist mind...

I didn't attempt the "why" exercise with Mom, but a about a year or so ago, we did explore the issue, and she admitted to me "I can not find any logical reason for you not to do this, and I've tried!" Did you thank your Mum and wear a skirt in gratitude? I have played the "...

I didn't read through all the replies, so forgive me if I repeat some comments. First, I find it frustrating, but not surprising, that someone says a boy is trying to be a girl just because he wants to wear a skirt or dress. They are unwillling to accept that boys and men have just as much a right t...

Thanks mishawakaskirt. Here are a couple more that would work well with the "what's worn under the kilt? ", both best said with a Scots accent: "There nothing worn, it's all in perfect working order." "Can ye not see my shoes and socks" - which I have used when wearing ...

Originally from Darlington (Co Durham), then Hull (Yorkshire) then Perth (Western Australia, not Scotland). I've been on the smallest continent for the last 50 years.

Stevie, Aberdeen is a beautiful place, but someone should turn the freezer off occasionally.

Hi Dillon. Remember brightly patterned rayon shirts, gold chains? I remember well the days of brightly coloured (though not patterned) shirts and other bits which got attached. At the time there was a requirement that male shift workers (note the sexist tone) wore ties during "office hours"...

I thought of directing this only to Melbourne residents, but then realised that they aren't the only ones who might be there in July, so the question is open to anyone. I plan on being in the Melbourne area from 4th to 12th July this year. It would be good to meet up with some other skirt-wearing ma...

No, I didn't, but it creates a new slant on "rock around the clock". Should that be our theme?

Hi Anthony aka denimini,

It's a pity you aren't closer to Perth. We could go together and create quite a stir.

I prefer an A-line cut, at or just above knee length. I find pencil skirts too close - and I'm looking for comfort and freedom of movement. Most men have too much to allow us to wear pencil skirts without showing a male bulge, unless the material is heavy enough to hold us in. Nearly all of my skirt...

Greetings everyone. There was an article published online yesterday by our local newspaper The West Australian encouraging men to "don a suit", and to "think outside the box" then attend next Saturday's horse racing and enter a competition "Fashions on the Field" which ...

In the modern world a country that would have a law banning skirts for men would very likely have a tyrannical government banning other things as well, and of course the best thing to do is to leave for a free country respecting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Unfortunately, Judah14, the...
