Dear Deirdre

The following letter and answer was on page 42 of yesterday's Sun:
"How can I tell my wife that I'm desperate to wear a skirt when I'm relaxing at home? I'm 30 and I don't wish to dress like a woman or go out looking like one, but I really think I'd enjoy the feeling of wearing a skirt. I'm happily married and we have a great sex life. I don't want my wife thinking I'm some sort of pervert, because I'm not. How can I tackle the subject?
Answer: This might not be such an issue if you were Scottish - and even David Beckham has worn a sarong in his time - but skirts for men haven't caught on. Loose-fitting trousers or harem pants ( think MC Hammer ) may be a compromise to suggest to your wife."
I feel that she hasn't done very much, if any, research on this topic and has simply copped out by using the usual mantra. Even though the number of skirted men aren't as numerous as we would like I do think that there has been progress in getting the message out there and I know that we are doing what we can in our little necks of the woods.
I will be drafting a reply to her briefly pointing out some of what has been discussed here and pointing her to this and other sites. So, if anyone else wants to drop her a line the email address is problems@deardeidre.org.
