That rare male compliment

[Mouse]

There is something afoot. I have been complimented by guys, two days running. The first said he liked my style, then the one today liked my legs. To be fair my legs do look good in these blue tights, but both days I have just been in my standard work outfit with a Roman blue denim skirt. This has got to stop, otherwise I am going to need a bigger hat!

I almost never get compliments from men or women about my skirts but today was that male compliment.
I was playing in a golf team match against another club at their club when a fellow asked me,"Is that a skirt you're wearing?" Yes
He started wondering whether I was LGBT and asked why?
I replied that I liked it and felt comfortable wearing one and he responded," Good for you!" "Thanks."

I got my first really nice compliment from. a male stranger today. It is a warm and sunny day and I was wearing a just above the knee skirt on a local walk and a council worker who was wearing a pair of quite short shorts stopped me and said, "That a nice skirt. Perfect for this weather. I wish I could wear one like that". I asked him "well, why don't you?" and his reply was that he would get sacked if he did. I didn't go into the politics of whether his employer could actually do that without being accused of discrimination as he seemed fairly sure that they could. It was nice though that he appreciated the skirt and wanted to wear one himself, if only he could.

Indeed they could Sepchugang, there is no statutory right in the United Kingdom enabling a non transgender male to wear a skirt at work.
A dress code has to be fairly applied , not equal.
It is not held to be discriminatory and that has been upheld at tribunal.
