Steve.

Yes. I agree totally.

To normalize skirts for men... For a start, stop using the word skirt. The word 'kilt' is commonly accepted by most people to signify a skirt that it is socially acceptable for a man to wear. I have seen the Greek Fustanelli described as a Greek kilt. When my mother and my aunt first started wearing...

Stu wrote The boy wear the garment with knee length shorts and the girl with bikini bottoms. When the boy wears it, it is a shirt - when the girl wears it - it is a dress. It's the same garment. That's a good way to go, whether or not the kids are twins or even if the child is a boy who may need jus...

FL Breezy wrote I wonder sometimes if it's more deeply ingrained than we think. Social conservatism being against men's "feminization" perhaps comes from much older times..."if our men aren't manly enough, our tribe won't be able to defend itself" or something. I don't know. It s...

Damon, How many times have you worn trousers and wished that you were wearing a skirt, or even a dress? Steve. Quite a lot probably, as my feet often get cold at the last minute. I still remember one function when I decided I didn't want to be the only guy there not wearing pants and lo and behold ...

I am 84. I got my first kilt when I was 6 and it went to a younger cousin when I was 8 because we were moving abroad. I didn't get another until I was 12. Since then I have always owned at least one kilt and I reckon worn them for a minimum of about 25 days a year, probably more often. That still ad...

Mishawakaskirt wrote I have a concept for a movie but no real way to write or produce it. Upload your story outline to ChatGPT and ask it to write you a 90 minute movie using that as the basis. I would suggest naming your principal characters and including their names in the briefing you give to Cha...

The voice of reason. Wha a great post! Barleymower posted: If the pandemic taught me one thing, it is this: "we are given the information the media wants us to see". Human's are easily manipulated. There was a massive rise in transgenderism then suddenly it was stopped. It was stopped beca...

Stevie asked for some kind of corroboration. Here you go. One of many videos. I got the age wrong. The man is 50. https://youtu.be/2LC0DymxEUE?si=L8iuGP54XUrhZZ4B Okay that's right wing media. But they aren't making the story up. And it is this sort of thing that is responsible for the backlash that...

Wearing a kilt year round is not possible where I live. We have already experienced temperatures in the minus 20 Celsius range in December. I don't want to wear tights under it. The whole point of a kilt is the feeling of freedom. I just wear pants, and lined ones at that.

It's a pity that schools don't just add the option of a kilt to their uniform. And announce that the existing skirt is to be phased out over about 3 years. They are more likely get some boys taking up the kilt option.

I live in Little Donny's 51st State (Canada for those across the pond). CR FRIEND stated. Recently, because of the uptick in hate-speech and the fact that MIS never properly disambiguated themselves from the trans-* crowd (I've commented on this in the past), I've recently adopted the protective-col...
