Sorry, stupid title.

But what do you think of this link? Man likes to wear skirts and heels to work, still definitely a man, not a transwoman, not a sexual fetish, he just thinks skirts should be non gender, likes the style etc.

I just find this really refreshing, how things should be really, Men should be able to chose more traditionally feminine clothes, whilst still being a men.

I think it shows that is a silly style for the human body male and female.

But when it was in high fashion in the 1950s 60s for women, say with Pan Am stewardesses, it was never neutral. It was always sexual. It was always intended to make women look attractive to men. To appear to totter a little helplessly and be forced to wiggle.

Why is this man wearing this female style?

A woman wearing men’s trousers, shirt and jacket, will be extremely comfortable, all her body covered, and the signal of sex not intentionally built into the clothes.

So I find this narrative that all skirts and dresses are impractical quite tedious

Well yes, that would be a tedious narrative, if anyone was saying it.

Fair enough and I admit I was thinking in part of previous threads about skirts and dresses which got pretty batshit. I guess I just think it would be good to see it acknowledged that there are situations when, if you're female, a skirt can be the more practical option.

And in hot countries long loose shirts ( like a dress), skirts, or robes are more comfortable and cool for men too.

It depends on activities whether trousers are always better or not.
