Why would a big hitter like Sangeeta Singh-Kurtz trouble herself with such a trivial matter like guy in a skirt? Then lie about it?
Sloppy writing/analysis.
If you are perturbed enough, write a nice email to the editor and point out the inaccuracy - maybe they will correct it. I've done that before with the BBC.
Coder I have written to the Cut:
Hi I'm writing to regarding the Sangeeta Singh-Kurtz - year-of-the-dude-skirt article.
https://www.thecut.com/2022/12/2022-yea ... skirt.html
When I read an article like this, sometimes (and this is one of those occasions) I get the impression that the writer is not writing a positive article. The words are positive but after reading I'm left with a negative slightly despairing feeling.
Reading on I see it, the clue I've been subconsciously looking for. In this case more than a clue, a gross inaccuracy.
Quote from the article:
writer Rhik Samadder took to the streets of London in a pink miniskirt to see if a regular guy like himself could pull off a skirt in public. He realized, pretty quickly, that he probably could not.
The article written by Rhik Samadder makes no mention of a Pink Mini Skirt or any intention to Pull it off.
Here's the article Rhik wrote;
https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/202 ... -but-can-i
He wore a black maxi and later a paisley midi, in white and coral. Helped by lady family members until he got a look. The article was written in the spirt of de-gendering clothing and societies acceptability of men in skirts. The article was not about men trying to carry off Pink Miniskirts. After reading the article I'm left with the impression the author was undermining men wearing skirts.
Why else would a big hitter like Sangeeta Singh-Kurtz trouble herself with such a trivial matter like guy in a skirt?
Kind regards
