I realize these types of headlines are a dime a dozen - "Is this finally the time?". And it's unfortunate that it draws some conclusions like "queering of heterosexuality". Regardless, I think it's good to catalog these as they show up as it shows more and more journalists are reporting on these trends.
Also, I think the "Are skirts going to join the mainstream man’s wardrobe?" section is good reading - and the last point hits home even for me:
Not so much that I'm not comfortable wearing one - in fact quite the opposite - but even in my liberal workplace I'm super hesitant to wear one because I just don't know if it will drastically change my working relationships. I will find out one day, however, as I am wearing skirts to work on occasion.“The vast majority of men, myself included, would not be comfortable wearing a skirt,” McCauley Bowstead says. “I think of myself as someone who has very progressive views on gender and work in a very queer friendly and liberal context. And I wouldn't wear a skirt.”
