Well, to be fair, and taking into consideration of Carl's informative post, I may have been slightly mistaken, however still yet, the context of the video implies that "men wore skirts" in the same manner that men may wear a skirt today.Uncle Al wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 11:17 pmTo me, some of these "researchers" wouldn't know a "Fact" if it bit them in the behind.moonshadow wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 3:27 amAnyway, it's nice to have positive press, but I believe we would gain more if they focused on facts.
The level of education has been 'dumbed-down' for so long, it is producing ignorant people.
Ignorant in respect to what I grew up with and what is now called ''Education".

If nothing else, the subject on CBS should be been explored in a little more depth I suppose. When we consider the tunics over tights that were a common sight during the middle ages and compare them to what type of skirts men might consider trying today, I think it's fair to say we're still comparing apples to oranges.
The context of the CBS video leads one to believe seeing a [peasant] man sporting a chic little A line or maxi skirt was the norm. I know they didn't actually say that, but it seems that was the message implied. AND... a tunic is not a skirt. It's a tunic. In fact, if we define a skirt as a one-holed garment that begins at the waist line and covers the legs, then it's still fair to say that very few if any men actually wore skirts, save for the Scots. Tunics, robes, caftans, etc? Yes. But none of those are actually skirts.
