Fact is, Carl, they are all skirts, but we torture ourselves in semantics. Many do, some don't. As I draw my time on this rock to a close, I am firmly in the latter camp, and see no reason to get tied up in semantics and pseudo-scientific or pseudo-social minutiae because the vast bulk of it is BS,...

And, if you want a skirt, buy a skirt. You can even buy skirts with pleats.

Imagine that.

Why do we make it so difficult?

A random thought has occurred to me. My soon to be ex-wife does. If anybody attempts to inform me that I'm trans- anything (other than transgressing societal norms) I will correct them, in strong language if need be -- because I'm not and regard it as a throw-back to the bad old days of the school-...

I am a man. My full beard proclaims I am not hiding nor ashamed of that. I wear skirts or dresses every day. You, like most of us at Skirt Cafe are a bit "unusual" in that we are able to question the "common wisdom". This tends to set us apart from most of what passes for "...

Not all retailers have just one skirt record, using this for example. They have multi records and this can be seen by which key words that is used in search. No, there's likely one "SKU" (or "stock unit number") per garment with an added component for apparel to account for size...

The point here is not what it costs per mea/giga/tera - byte of space, but rather the societal perspective of what's acceptable. Right now, from that perspective, guys wearing skirts are not accepted, and hence there will be no "pull" (read, "market") for men's skirts. Full stop....

PS did you create that post by yourself or did you have AI assist you? Likely, yes, because it's everywhere around us, and we're mostly on bent knees before it. If there is to be change it will be by the bottom line profit, nothing else! That's my read on the matter as well. And it's not going to b...

But the main thing is both Mrs Mouse and I are having fun together. I am a very fortunate merman.

You are a fortunate man, indeed! Blessed be!

So there you are, you knew Mouse was crazy, but maybe not this crazy. As I have said in other places, I am having a ball in my old age and doing things that the small boy inside always wanted to do. What is really nice is that Mrs Mouse and I are doing something together that brings both of us plea...

I may have spoken a bit soon. Some of the slowness has returned with the occasional 503 in the mix. I hope this gets solved soon.

There does likely remain something that sits atop the software that drives Skirt Cafe, but I haven't got access to anything regarding it. My suspicion is that it's "security" software or something like that, and it tends to throw 500-series errors. It tends to disrupt detailed technical co...

Life in the US is geting worse daily. They wanted change and they got it. What's even worse is he is standing between the people and something worse still. The corporations and their "policies'. I am compelled to leave this one alone, but I will simply say that you've only scratched the surfac...

Based on performance on 2026-02-19, it looks like our hosting provider has solved the contention problem (again) and, thus, I'm going to sound the "all-clear" on things. Of course, I may get proved wrong, but that wouldn't be the first time...

Back in the sixties and seventies where Carl has been very vocal there was a big push to move men into more expressive clothing. It wasn't a "push", but rather an environment that was (1) hopeful for the future and (2) was willing to accept experimentation. Both of those points have been ...

Birds of a feather, Stevie!
