Not sure if this would come under news clippings but

Having looked on Twitter and used its search function http://search.twitter.com/ - I have found that there are quite a few sightings of men in skirts.

Here is the search terms I use. http://search.twitter.com/search?q=man+skirt

Most of the tweets that report a sighting of a man in a skirt are non-judgemental, some are positive, some negative. (Bear in mind that it is solely searching for any tweets that contain the search terms, so you get everything!)

What I take from it is that there are many more men going out there and wearing skirts than just those of us that post here. Hopefully this is a good sign that it is slightly more mainstream than we believe ourselves.

I hope that some guys that read the forums, maybe don't post themselves, and are still a little afraid of going out there and doing it can read through these tweets and perhaps realise that being a man in a skirt is no big deal to the vast majority of people out there that don't have the same interest in skirt-wearing as we do.

That was a fun read!

One thing that I know that is true in the Celtic Kilting Community is that there are far more kiltmen who never post on a forum than there are those that do. I'm guessing the same must be true in the broader Mug Community.

Think about it, a man who wears a skirt/kilt is not likely to care much of what others think about him, so he's less likely to begin with to even be part of a group like this one. Plus, how many people do you know that actually like to read and write as much as reading and writing on a forum requires?

We here all have two things in common, not just one, skirts/kilts and reading/writing. Yes, there are at least 9 guys in skirts who don't write about it for every one of us who do ... I'd say that should be encouraging for us all. Cool Twitter Search!

Mug ON!
