Is this sort of article getting more common or am I just looking harder?

Could men's skirts actually gain wider acceptance or even (whisper it) approval?

And I have no idea how good it tastes, but anyone local to this man should buy his beer!

SS It could be it is gradually dawning on the populace that a change could be on its way. (I had come across the manskirtbrewing company before) It could be that the articles and searches for manskirt, men in skirts etc are becoming more common and rise nearer to the top of Google searches.

I did think there was rather too much superfluous use of the "F" word in the second article for my liking - put me right off reading it completely even though it was quite a short article. It distracted me completely from the point of his article - which was what? (don't want to read it again to find out if it was actually a sensible point being made)

I liked this from the first article:
While everybody gets into a huff about gender-specific toys, gender-specific garments continue to dominate the menswear catwalks.
Must remember that for future discussions.
As for the second article, I think he's in favour of skirts - he says something about having money to buy more skirts, but the rest of the article is gibberish :(

And here's another article (from Jan this year) and in this case for a good cause - not that that should be a reason for skirt wearing on men.

And here's another from the Seattle Times (from quite a few years ago - 1994!)
