What if?

[Faldaguy]

Let's make this easy, because no one seems to want to answer in other threads.
What will you do if the law of YOUR land makes it illegal for a guy to wear a skirt.
I'm not looking for a great load of waffle, just say what you would do if being caught wearing a skirt would mean arrest, sanction, incarceration or whatever?
I come from a place where a straight answer to a straight question is to be respected, why should the Skirt Cafe be any different?
Steve.

Far too many "ifs, ands or ors" in such hypothetical questions for it to be worthy of expending time on lest you like armature science fiction. I do not believe any of us can answer such a question with any accuracy as the number of factors are well beyond enumerating. It might be more fun to speculate on a law that dictated men wear skirts, dresses, or electronic monitors --- (oops, we already do that, it is called WhatsApp!). Guys on this site are struggling with a far easier question; 'can I wear a skirt, in public, today' -- and can't answer it.

I would have someone make me a bright pink kilt.

jamie001, I would happily make you one. I have already made a purple and yellow kilt!

Thank you Mouse. I hope that I don’t need to take you up on your generous offer. America is quickly going to hell in a hand-basket.

In preparation for said skirt ban for men, I have bought myself a kilt. Pretty cool.

I think a more pertinant, urgent question is:

what are you currently doing to ensure this does not happen?

Bloody good question. Suggestions? It has not really entered my mind as a priority in light of the many in-our-face issues of the day; but in many ways most of our social ills boil down to greed and lack of respect for others.

My skirt wearing started from comfort, and then fun but has moved to what I view as a more compelling reason that was not on my agenda at all at the onset -- trying to get men out of the man box, in particular because of the emotional suppression that fuels anger, hate, and limits thinking, not only about skirts but nearly all matters. In that regard, my daily skirted attire is an action to move people toward more tolerance and respect.

I hope we see some thoughtful responses to your question.

We are contributing to this forum. This does have an effect. If you search Google for MIS the skirtcafe is one of the first hits. So people out there can read about us.
We have meetups. This is also an benefit to MIS everywhere to know we are meeting.

I think we should recognise some truths. Being an MIS is a gender related subject. We see ourselves firmly as men but the rest of the world is not so sure.

It we recognise that being an MIS is a gender related subject we can play apart in assisting other gender related groups by throwing our support behind them.

If we support other groups we add weight to our own objectives and make the other groups larger. Then when the gender critical brigade attack we will be part of a much larger group and more able to fight back. We can do all of this and remain men.

I too believe this is the way forward, there are a lot of allies to be had in that camp and the main objective is the same, the freedom to be yourself.

[DrFishnets]

I agree with BM. I think we need to be allies of transgender people. I myself know that I’m a heterosexual man in a skirt but people out in public will think I’m a trans woman (even though I always get called Sir) with the style of clothes I wear as its not just skirts but dresses, fishnet tights, sheer tights/pantyhose, low cut tops, long hair and nail polish. The only feminine item of clothing I don’t wear are high heel shoes and a bra and knickers. I prefer Dr Martens or workman/biker boots with my skirts and dresses.

I haven’t befriended any trans people yet as I have social anxiety anyway and I’m a bit of a loner but I did have a conversation at a bus stop with a girl who was transitioning into a trans man and they were very friendly. I got compliments on my style of tights too which was nice. Also, some of women who complimented my style could have been a trans woman for all I know.

[Susie]

Thanks everyone for your replies.

My suggestions would be two-fold:

1. keep up the good work by wearing skirts with masculine swagger (i.e. own the look and assume you have the right to it)

2. whenever anyone is canvassing for your vote, (at whatever level) ask them what they will do to protect the right of all those who do not confirm to arbitary social norms.

I already do this, admittedly with a diferrent agenda, and it usually catches them off guard as they have not been briefed on the party line.

I hope that it makes them stop, think and maybe plants a seed.

[STEVIE]

If you live in the *** be careful if you respond to Susie's recommendation.
It appears that any criticism of specific regimes is not welcome in the Skirt Cafe.
Currently there are 13 countries where my "What if" is already in force.
May the gods be with you, if you happen to be in the 14th because you will not be able to rely on support around here.
Steve.

no need to reply, just consider

Susie, The answer to your question is simple, I stand up and protest.

Faldaguy, you are absolutely correct that traditional masculine creates emotional suppression that fuels anger, hate, and limits thinking. When I created the thread "cosplay their Rambo-ness" it was about king clown at the White House imposing traditional masculine and how it hurts us being MIS and MID.
Here is a link explaining that harm.
https://www.palmerreport.com/politics/t ... ity/62523/
Here I protest in Uncle Al in locking my thread in denying every man here in speaking freely about these harms that is being impose by king clown. Unfortunately Uncle Al supports these harms and believes king clown needs more time in harming us men who are MIS and MID and Dust agrees also.

The mods are people, too. Give him some grace...

The very title of the thread is a cheap shot at the current US administration.
Not sure why it's not locked yet. Please just nuke the thread and move on.
Thanks for your recommendation, Dust.

Dust and Uncle Al engage in a cheap shot and shutting down my thread, because they wanted to protect harms that is being impose by king clown administration. We have a moderator has no empathy for us MIS and MID who is struggling with their emotions and not being allowed trying to post what they feel under the current administration. I know i was because like all us males was told not to cry and be strong, for this was the way males suppose to be. When I said it harms MIS and MID, I couldn't put all my emotions into words, because as a male I am not to suppose to express myself.

It is a shame having a moderator wants to suppress the truth about how traditional masculinity, in doing so harms his master and God, king clown.

[Skirt18220]

I would wear kilts.
Oh wait I mostly already do. Even most of the skirts I have are plaid patterns. I have made a number of kilt skirts. Skirts cause they are not a wrap and don't use buckle closures.
I live in Canada. Kilts will always be an available skirt for a man in this country. The country has an official tartan. 10 of the 11 provinces have an official tartan. The Yukon territory also has one. So 12 different multi coloured skirts available to wear.
Canada might be the one country where this scenario will never happen. We are to accepting and to liberal.

[STEVIE]

This is a discussion on the subject of fashion freedoms for men!
It is only a comment on POTUS in as much as the policies reflect on that very freedoms .
Here we have irrefutable proof that politics and clothing are inextricably linked, denial of that fact is futile.
NB, anything else, economics and foreign policy must be avoided!
Steve.
