Men in Skirts?

I am a man. A hetrosexual man at that. I am perfectly happy with who and what I am. That being said I have the utmost respect for everyone else regardless of their gender or sexual orientation - I'm just happy being who I am and don't feel any desire to change.

I want you to bear all that in mind for what I am about to say...........

I think it should be ok for guys to wear skirts!

There I said it!

I should perhaps reiterate that....

• I am not a transvestite
• I do not yearn to be a woman
• I presently do not wear skirts

I just think they would be very practical for us men. Throughout history, men have always worn skirts of some description (the Romans, the Scots etc) and it is only a fairly recent thing that "society" has ruled that the skirt it an item of womens clothing. Why? I think that was a huge mistake. When did "they" decide that guys couldn't wear skirts anymore? I definitely think skirts are more suited to the male anatomy. We have dangly bits - they should be allowed to dangle!

All in all I just think that skirts would be comfortable and practical for us guys. Unfortunately society has deemed that only women can wear skirts (I'm talking generally here and excluding any form of national dress etc) and so any man that does wear a skirt is deemed to be "odd". Ok, as it stands at the moment perhaps most men who currently wear skirts are a little odd - but we can change that.....

GLOBAL DECREE # 7
It is acceptable for men to wear skirts and still be considered "normal"
Instances when the wearing of a skirt will not be considered "normal"

• When accompanied by high heels / make-up / wigs
• Skirt designs that are excessively feminine (floral prints etc)

We are talking proper man-skirts here, not just rifiling through the wife's wardrobe. You can find a fairly good example of what I mean here. I think it is worth pointing out that the gentleman in this picture coincidentally has long hair - which I do not believe is in any way connected to his skirt wearing.

Now - I don't want to offend transvestites here. When I say it is only "normal" to wear a man skirt without other female paraphenalia I don't mean to infer that transvestites are not "normal"! While I respect their freedom to dress how they please, I'm sure we can all agree that being a transvestite is an alternative (but perfectly acceptable) lifestyle choice. I'm trying to bring male skirt wearing into the mainstream.

Obviously, wearing a man skirt will be a choice. I would just like everyone to have the option to wear a man-skirt if they wanted without being looked upon as an oddball. I'm sure it will take a little getting used to but I'm sure we will all be better off in the long term.

Once again - no I do not wish to dress as a woman nor do I not wear skirts presently, but I may well do sometimes when Global Decree #7 comes into force.

Until next time,
His Skirtiness Chris the Dangly
