The interest is out there but there needs to be a change in attitude towards men.yardstick wrote: ↑Thu Jan 29, 2026 10:41 pm Interesting, i've also noticed that there seems to be a lot more casual lookers on this site too over the past couple of weeks so hopefully we might see a bit of a change (by that i mean you might be out & about and see another MIS in the street once in a while).
No it won't help us become mainstream and it shows how niche we are.
I always heard that one as, "old vinegar in a new bottle", but the sentiment is precisely the same. Re-packaged stale nonsense.Barleymower wrote: ↑Fri Jan 30, 2026 4:53 pmTrending is a BS put about when somebody wants to grab attention on some old news. The phrase "old wine in new bottles" comes to mind.
Google have a tabulation of what click-bait the lemmings are clicking on and likely no real indication of whether a conscious human being ever reads the actual content (if any).Google howver has actual information on what people are clicking on so it's a little more significant.
The numbers, if detectable, will be very very low until we can correct the course that society has found itself on -- and that may take generations now because of the damage done recently. It's vastly easier to wreck a civilisation than create or heal one.The whole thing becomes BS again when they make judgements like in 2027 men will be wearing skirts. They won't but maybe more will.
Actually, it's surprisingly easy. Popular "culture" is slow to answer steering inputs (if it answers at all) and the inertia is immense because of the mass. Set your sights low, and you'll get close -- and assuming the worst is frequently a useful tactic.One thing that is impossible to predict is popular culture.
Well, first of all I never wrote the words "sissy mini skirt", somebody else did. I wear short skirts during the summer months and, to the best of my knowledge, have never been referred to as a "sissy".Barleymower wrote: ↑Fri Jan 30, 2026 7:32 pm Carl when I see that "Sissy mini skirts" are just as prevelant as MIS, it obvious that we are very low on the horizon. After all there can't be that many men identifying as "sissy". If there are then the world is in world.
isn't the fear of the wider community? That MIS are a bunch of sissy's?
Indeed, but some extrapolations can be made using today's exemplars and applying some thought experiment to it.In terms of Pop Culture it's impossible tell what will still be around in years to come and what is a flash in the pan. I would prefer MIS to grow slowly and reach critical mass, rather than a flash in the pan.
Indeed, because the whole thesis is garbage.Barleymower wrote: ↑Fri Jan 30, 2026 8:47 pmCarl I don't want to get into a sissy skirt debate and I suspect neither do you.
Once cannot compare The Kilt with any sort of skirt in the same sentence. Even trying to do so largely invalidates the original argument because of the baggage associated with The Kilt.The reference comes from the piece. They put that skirt together with the kilt. The inference being that the kilt shares the same space a afore mentioned skirt.
None was taken. My intent was simply to contradict the "sissy" thesis. I've been called vastly worse in my life.No offence stated or implied. I'm sure everything you wear is stylish.
