Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

I would remove the hair from the legs on the sticker. Most women that I have asked do not want to see hairy legs. Otherwise it is excellent!
Haha, and I got one that does not like shaved legs on men. Typical

I think the hair is necessary for this graphic, lest you know it is a male.
There is a lot of discussion in other threads on hairy legs -- I don't shave mine when in shorts, swimwear, or 'god - forbid' a kilt, so why for a skirt? I'm a guy and hair seems to be part of the package; plus I'm too damn lazy -- I don't even shave my chin! I won't wear the sticker, but I'll keep my hairy legs.

This was my thinking. I know many skirted men shave their legs, but aside from large feet (generically comical), there was little else to show that it's a male—and yes, woman can have hairy legs too, but it's less common in western culture.
Sorry for being a 'wet blanket' but, IMHO, "stickers" are
a kindergarten approach, not professional in any way.

ironically there's some who don't haldy grow enough to make much difference.
I think that the stickers are great.
I interpret the purpose of the leg hair as indicating that the wearer is male. So, if removed, it would need to be replaced with some other indicator of that to let the image tell its story.
Many people personalize their laptop computers with stickers. That seems like an apt use for these.
May not be true for everyone, but in my milieu men age out of graphic t-shirts at some point. I only wear them as workout clothes.

Yes, they're definitely not trying to be professional. Appreciate your feedback though.

Thank you! Yes, the leg hair seemed necessary for the concept, even though many skirted men shave their legs.
Laptops are a common one, and water bottles even more so, for those who need to keep their laptop clean and professional. On the t-shirt topic, I also prefer them without graphics or logos.
I keep meaning to put some of the stickers in high traffic areas, to make passersby think.

Sorry Chip, worthy try but it won't really do anything for fashion freedom for men.
Might make some folks smile, in these days, a good cause indeed!

The bigger problem Steve, is it won't make them 'think' either. But, I'll endorse smiles!

I don't think the stickers alone will have an effect. Men often need to see inspiration or imagery many times before they consider skirting, at least in public. At the very least, I hope the odd person sees the 'Everybody Skirts' sticker, is intrigued enough to look it up, and finds the blog's resources.
