Re: Rock wears a skirt
Rocks comment "I wore a skirt to the Met Gala because the most masculine men wear skirts." is not far from the truth. It is more like "I wore a skirt to the Met Gala so I would be noticed out of all the standard men in DJs".
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

Re: Rock wears a skirt
He is on record into empowering women.

I hope these links gives a better outtake about Dwayne Johnson.
I believe his skirt also meant what he has said before about empowering women. Consider all the women made statements that was nothing less giving him thumbs down, while he was given them thumbs up.

Same popped up on my feed, I commented:
A man can decide what being a man means to him. On that basis he can wear what he wants - including a skirt.

Re: Rock wears a skirt
I find it ridiculous the number of people getting worked up over his use of the word skirt. They're all like "it's kilts", in a conversation referring to multiple versions worn by both genders. Kilt is supposed to refer to a specific type, skirts is a generic term. Especially given it's a foreign language translation that doesn't use either word. Freakout over a translation.

Re: Rock wears a skirt
What I found amazing from the majority of women not having the balls to acknowledge Rock was rocking in his outfit. All these commenters where quick into slurring his image, because from what he wore. From all these negative shows the truth women can't handle a true man, that is willing stand up for them. They rather have a man that would trash them in a heartbeat and these are their masculinity men. At the same time these women also complain how abusive these masculinity men are. From this group of women would be a bad ideal in getting any fashion advice from them. As you mention there was this great lack of fashion sense of what Dywane wore.timemeddler wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2026 1:53 pm I find it ridiculous the number of people getting worked up over his use of the word skirt.

This shows that we should put our attire on for ourselves and least worries what others think. No matter how you rock in what you have chosen, there are those will try to cut you down, because of what you chosen to wear.
Re: Rock wears a skirt
So true after all to quote a female friend "women dress to impress other women not men" so we have two sets of anti's to our chosen attire, those men who are too scared to move away from the same old boring attire and a SMALL subsection of women who can't handle the competition so do as you please and be happy.mr seamstress wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2026 6:12 pm This shows that we should put our attire on for ourselves and least worries what others think.

Re: Rock wears a skirt
One of the things that is often said to me when a comparison is made between men and women's clothes: "women fought for the right to wear trousers".yardstick wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2026 10:10 amSo true after all to quote a female friend "women dress to impress other women not men" so we have two sets of anti's to our chosen attire, those men who are too scared to move away from the same old boring attire and a SMALL subsection of women who can't handle the competition so do as you please and be happy.mr seamstress wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2026 6:12 pm This shows that we should put our attire on for ourselves and least worries what others think.

This is true but this is also said: "There are many ways to be a women". From this I understand that women are people and people are varied, this has always been the case for women even back when they fought for the right to wear trousers. The same cannot be said of men. In order to be considered a man, men have to comply with a strict set of standards. We refer to this as "the man box". Herein lies the problem and the reason why women were able to bring about change. Yes they had to fight but it was a battle of wills. For men the problem is not the same, men can wear what they want but wearing female identifying clothes their manhood is brought in doubt, something that is heavy judged.
Re: Rock wears a skirt
One of the problems is that men place such a high value on their "manhood". Their manhood, is essentially a box of acceptable rules regarding what clothing you can wear and what emotions you are allowed to express. When are men going to realize that the rules of manhood do not matter and that it is much more important to be true to yourself and not see approval of other men.
