Skirts look great on women. Some women. They're fine by me but they don't need my permission either way. Oh I agree absolutely - from that pov. Remember when mini-skirts came in? The only downside was the invention of tights to go with them - far less convenient than stockings and suspenders. |

I wear a sarong sometimes, but not usually in public.

Sweet jesus: Masculinity is a trap – which is why more men should wear skirts
Billy Porter is a singer, actor and man of fashion. He is also a man who isn’t afraid to wear a skirt. Porter wore a tuxedo dress to this year’s Oscars and rocked a very fabulous, very pink, uterus-inspired suit-gown to the Tony awards.
Not everyone can pull off an upcycled velvet curtain, but it is a shame more dudes don’t try. As Porter told Stephen Colbert during an appearance on The Late Show, men’s clothing norms are mired in misogyny. “Women wearing pants is powerful,” the 49-year-old said. “It’s strong, everybody accepts it and it’s associated with the patriarchy.” However, “the minute a man puts on a dress, it’s disgusting, so what are you saying? Men are strong, women are disgusting? I’m not doing that any more … If I feel like wearing a dress, I’m gonna wear one!”www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/19/masculinity-trap-why-more-men-should-wear-skirtsWhat the f8ck is wrong with these people? Don't they have anything better to do? Billy Porter’s Oscars gown is still one of my favourite things everything. It is curious though that women wear trousers and nobody bats an eyelid, but culturally specific attire aside people freak out when a man puts on a dress. I think he’s right to an extent in that it is seen as feminine and thus inferior. I doubt many men want to wear skirts though. |

I've always thought kilts were a bit daft. They're not exactly "authentic" either. The modern costume was sort of invented by Walter Scott and Prince Albert (separately) and the "clan tartan" thing is made up too. Walter Scott and George III for that one.

wanna wear a skirt, go right ahead if it makes you happy, though the idea that men should wear them as this tool is asserting, is just stupid.

In my mind, Walter Scott seems a bit like Williams Morris and Blake for England, creators of this ersatz romantic version of national history. In the English case it's mostly a reactionary agrarian thing, morris dancers and maypoles and all that bollocks, created in opposition to the industrial revolution; in Scott's case it seems to be mostly brave fighty clan stuff as a reaction to the English - except he didn't want them to actually fight the English, just to stand apart from them and feel superior.

Maybe partly. Scott was also an enormous or, "muckle" as we Scots say, Unionist.

Men do wear skirts, they're called Kilts! “But culturally specific attire aside”... I watch RuPaul’s drag race religiously and it’s interesting the number of Queen’s who said they got into drag because they liked make-up, dresses etc and didn’t think pretty shiny things should be reserved for women. But then the only ‘acceptable’ (and that’s debateable) way for a man to wear traditionally feminine things is through drag. |

Is wearing an outfit you like the look of to an event “needy”?

In this case, yes. It's pathetic. No skin off my nose but let's not pretend it's anything other than that.

Certain items of clothing as so heavily gendered that anybody not of that gender wanting to wear one is seen as needy or attention seeking. That could be the case. It also could just be that he likes dresses and wants to wear one. And of course there is a sexist imbalance in that woman have a lot more freedom to be androgynous and wear clothes normally seen as Male (such as Cara Delevingne wearing a tux to Princess Eugenie’s wedding). Do you think Billy Potter, specifically, is needy or any man who wants to and chooses to wear a dress to an event? Do you think it’s not possible for any man to simply want to wear a dress? |

Yep. I think they're all needy. It"s juvenile and boring.

Edit: It is interesting though - back to the Guardian article, that the same action done for the same reasons is seen as needy, juvenile and boring if you're a man but not if you're a woman. Do you apply that to anything anybody does/says/wears that is not in line with expectations for their gender? |

It's the same tedious look-at-me childishness that might lead a person to have his mates beat him up and put a rope around his neck.
It's just shite. Tedious, empty-headed shite.
