https://link.springer.com/article/10.10 ... 21-01230-9We presented two questions exclusively to women (“Do you ever wear dresses or skirts that you have to monitor so that they don't blow up or flip up and reveal more skin than you wish to show?” and “Do you ever wear clothes that you have to be careful in because there is a risk of unintentionally exposing your breasts?”). Although there are some men to whom these questions might apply, we imagined that low base rates among men would make these two questions more distracting than useful if presented to men.
However - and why I'm sharing... a very common/consistent theme here on Skirt Cafe is comfort. Rarely do I read something here where someone writes, "Well, I got this great skirt but it's a pain to wear because _______". Occasionally there might be a question how to solve an apparent problem with a skirt (I've posted a few myself), or discussions of the dangers of a short dress. But generally the trend is towards comfort.
On the other hand, for women, and perhaps some of this helps explain why some spouses here have issues with their men wearing skirts - is the fact that all their lives, skirts were a pain to wear, or associated with restriction in movement or "the male gaze*". The study touches on a few examples (search for "skirts").
*At the start the study it indicates it uses "the framework of objectification theory (Fredrickson & Roberts in Psychology of Women Quarterly 21(2): 173–206, 1997)". I had to look this up... not sure how I feel about this. Meaning... I do not objectify women, never have. I cannot relate to the men described in that framework, though I do not doubt they exist or play a negative role in women's lives. My chief concern is, once again, "men = bad" and we are the root of all women's problems.
