Just made my second venture out in a cropped T shirt, which although it was gender free in the ?1970s, now seems rather fem-gendered. The first time, I wore it over linen trousers, and got a long stare in Waitrose car park from an older guy. This time, I tried it with a long skirt, and got the kind...

Looking back to the early '60s as an adult... At that point it was expected that women would wear skirted rigs, but...there was a measure of acceptance for individual women who wore trousers. So a question comes to mind. If over the course of that century a few men were experimenting with MIS, at w...

It would be great if parents were looking to help erase gendered clothing norms by dressing their sons the same way as their daughters, but there should be no expectation that parents erase gender norms. Parents' main concern is raising healthy, happy, normal children. And unless they feel that dre...

I'm simply saying that a lone t-shirt with a quirky message might be nice individually - I don't see it having broad social impact. The most important impact that we are expressing ourselves against all the hate that is expressed against us. We are not bottling up are feelings. This is important in...

Bluntly, aside from cesspits like Farcebook and Twatter (or whatever it's called now), or have the "following" of assorted '"politicians" on the world stage', social media amounts to about what this place amounts it -- a support group for a select subset of the population. I'd r...

The hairy legs on the sticker-sheet need to go. It does not promote our cause. Women that are ambivalent about my skirt wearing have told me that at least I have shaved legs and that is a good thing. If the women you spoke to you are complementary about your clothes then that's great. When they say...

I see guys out there like Chip and getting dressed with Brad and think "Good on you". If what you say is true, why do they bother? A question perhaps for them to answer. I see Brad's activism as important (not sure who Chip is) - and I think social media is where the war must be fought. I...

People make assumptions, I think a motive tee shirt would help some understand and some men to make the leap. I dont need to wear motive tee shirt and neither do you. But we are not everyone, some need a little help. Something to catch the eye and make the onlooker think differently. I certainly di...

All humour aside, fashion freedom for men has little to do with catchy slogans on tee shirts. The most powerful message that can be sent is practicing what you preach. Sometimes the only way is defiance and sacrifice. No pain no gain and no one will help us if we can't help ourselves. Steve. Amen S...

I wish I had hair long enough hair to require a bow.... I think if you can grow your hair long, then you have the right to do anything you like with it. Just like wearing skirts is mainly curtailed by things in your head, bows in your hair are being held back by other things in your own head. Mouse...

Or in my case a bald head

That way when people see you in your skirt and logo tee shirt they wont think you are gay or trans. But it draws attention to the idea that men wearing a skirt NEEDS to be explained. It doesn't. And men just need to get over these hangups. Take a hint from Nike and Just Do It™, wear the dang skirt....

What will work then? Missed this earlier. The most powerful message that can be sent is practicing what you preach. Sometimes the only way is defiance and sacrifice. No pain no gain and no one will help us if we can't help ourselves. There is no magic formula, no certainty about what will "wor...

It certainly made me think. There's so much spinning around the web at the moment by some hateful people.
The conversation between the girl and a recording of her old male self was amazing.

Looking good Vic. I will have to look up the Tim Burton exhibition. I said about it to the folks at home and they said a Gorillaz exhibition is coming in August aswell. Out and about today at my usual 6.30 dog walk I often see a guy running with a pushchair and a small child. Today we stopped for a ...
