”…is a man who wears a skirt, and he is not the only one: "Comfortable, practical and stylish"

A very nice article about the growing trend of men using skirts at the Finnish national broadcasting company’s website:
https://yle.fi/a/74-20037186 (in Finnish)

I checked the Google Translated version and it’s mostly correct. It does refer to the other man as she/her because the finnish language has only a neutral personal pronoun and it mixes skirt trousers with jeans but otherwise the translation is very good.

“Even at the beginning of the last century, a woman wearing pants was a rarity in Finland. Women wearing pants were even frowned upon. It wasn't until the 1960s and 1970s that trousers became an accepted garment for women as well.

Now men have started to get excited about skirts.”

It will open and ask for 'cookie' settings. I accepted only the basics.
