Re: Let's never speak this word again

THIS IS OH SO TRUE In the UK women were wearing trousers at work and out and about from the the onset of World War one. There are also other examples from history, lady cyclists wore heavy bloomers from Victorian times, all of which pre-dates Ms Hepburn. I think there is a distinction between cloth...

Re: Am I Still Welcome Here?

I have noticed threads about how women react wearing skirts and dresses. From City-Data.com.... The biggest impression-most women don't care to wear such garments, or actively dislike, or even despise them. A few women, very much the minority, will say that they do like such garments. From Reddit an...

Re: End of the road

Looking forward to meeting you, Moon Shadow. :D

At this time of year, at the zoo, it is a reclusive time for the animals. Some can be experienced indoors.

And its rather uncomfortable to walk around with chilly, damp, overcast weather.

Re: Am I Still Welcome Here?

Inclusive indeed. One could say that the membership is a spectrum. At one end are a few Braveheart, who emphasize a masculine version of MIS. Towards the other are freestylers. A few members who have femme temperaments. Plus probably a few individuals who don't quite into this spectrum. Hard to gene...

Re: New Technologies

Historians have studied the phases of civilizations. Generally, one major change tends to result in the late phase of an era. If there are at least two major changes at about the same time, that generally means the start of a new era. The Black Death was a catalyst that led to the end of the Middle ...

Re: Am I Still Welcome Here?

A few other members have expressed an interest in dress like garments. I also felt out of place myself. I used to look at X Marks The Scott. Basically a kilting forum. An emphasis on Celtic heritage. The most important topic was traditional kilts, plus related regalia, etc. Utility kilts are an acce...

Re: the first male skirt to meet success?

That said, I like nearly all of the skirts I purchased but the ones I am choosing to go out in look similar to shorts. Cargo shorts seem to fit the bill perfectly and don't trigger people to take a second look. In other words, I doubt anyone even gets a hit that I'm actually wearing a skirt, but I ...

Re: Am I Still Welcome Here?

For discussion here, dresses certainly fit in, because like skirts they are open ended garments.
