Man Wears Skirt, Likes It

[Grok]

Actually, this fellow doesn't know what it is like to wear a skirt. So how can he like skirts?

[crfriend]

It's probably cognitive dissonance. He wants to wear a skirt, but he also doesn't want to, so he looks for a middle ground.

Unfortunately, to the critical mind he fails at not one, but both at the same time. He will never see it that way, of course, unless it's deep in the future following reflection, but that's the way it seems to happen.

Actually, I thought the quote about the transvestite Scotsman was going to raise the most attention. Interesting.

That's a standard put-down and deserved precisely the response it got here.

For sure, fence-straddling can have that effect.

What you get is the silhouette of a skirt, but not an actual skirt. One can say to oneself that it may look like I am wearing a skirt, but I am actually wearing shorts.

Actually, some of the long, baggy cargo and basketball shorts almost look like skorts, if not skirts. But I guess they preserve whatever psychological comfort there is from having an inseam.

Has anyone ever ripped out the inseam and converted these shorts into skirts?

Yes, just did that to a pair of soccer shorts that were getting old. Took a single-edge razor blade and modified them. Yes, it means I have no trousers, but, don't care right now.

Could be quite painful too

Yes. A good thrift store find.
