When we were mere babes and couldn't, I certainly don't recall being given a choice.
I also knew better than to ask to be allowed to wear a skirt.
I might as well have told the family minister to dance naked in church.
The consequences would have been comparable.
Another point is the 99% of men who have no wish to wear skirts, I will assume Moon was using that in jest.
The estimated figure for men who cross dress is generally accepted at around 10%. In Britain that equates with about 3 million guys who would logically like to wear a skirt or a dress as a matter of choice.
There are around 240,000 men who work in my organisation and in ten years no one else has surfaced choosing office wear as I have.
The evidence suggests that Moon may be closer to the truth but for the wrong reason.
99% of males are simply afraid of the consequences of admitting that they would like to wear a skirt or dress at work, school or play.
Finally, the "fish that need to be fried". There are things we can affect and things that we cannot. Conditions, political and physical across the globe need not concern me directly. They will develop without any input from me.
That will not stop me from trying to get people to be aware that there is always some choice and a freedom that is worth fighting for. You can apply that wherever, men's fashion freedom is but one example.
Steve.
