While I am for something like this, I m not sure how one promotes it to really get it of the ground. I had mentioned some kind of MIS/skirt cafe t shirt, but it was met with opposition/ lack of interest. We now have a bunch of social media outlets, face book and YouTube. Anyone willing to make a video, or event group?
I have a idea for a short you tube video, but I don't want to be the face of MIS.

The skirt day for men has been around for a while now, but apparently just can't get off the ground.
I happened across this from 1999.

Avoid the middle man, wear a kilt or skirt.

Well, the 1st of May is a much more reasonable date. Now all we need is a cool t-shirt/hat/whatever to go with it.

Well, here we have it, several days that give those of you who haven’t crossed the literal threshold to go outside in your skirt or dress a good excuse to. I suggest that if you don’t take that step beforehand, you choose whichever one of Skirt Day, Dress Day, Men’s Skirt Day or even Women’s Day feels the safest to you and make that your day to make your move.

I can guarantee it will be scary as hell; it was for me and that was after a number of midnight, familiarization forays. But SOOO worth it!

In the meantime I will do my best to pave your way by continuing to wear my womenswear every day everywhere.

Good luck!

Social norms aren't changed by Congress or Parliament; they're changed by a sufficient number of people ignoring the existing ones and publicly practicing new ones.
