To ask if you would be happy if your husband dressed like this?

My DH doesn’t have the legs, but at least this guy is not wearing lipstick and a wig, and dresses his top half like man. His wife helps him choose the clothes.

I do agree re all the comments on his legs makimg it ok. That really isn't relevant and "good" legs shouldn't dictate whether you can/should wear a skirt.

Definitely not I think he has some kind of sick fetish and he looks like a right knob

No and I think it's completely different

Why?
Not being goady. I'm trying to understand why a man wearing a skirt = fetishism bit a woman wearing men's short is ok.

^ shpuld say what are blatantly men's shorts.

He looks odd to me because his top and bottom halves don't match. He looks like one of those mix and match flip books for children. But, fair play to him - he must be a pretty resilient chap because I bet he gets a lot of abuse. And I agree with others, I think people should wear what they want.

Generally when a woman chooses to wear 'mens' clothes it's because they are more practical and comfortable - in the examples that you've given, swim shorts presumably cover more flesh than costumes / bikini's and safety gear is providing a purpose.

This dude is not choosing a mini skirt and 6 inch heels because they are practical or comfortable...

Same here. The grey suit with the skirt looks fine, but the shoes are over the top - in my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️

Absolutely not. Each to their own but it’s not something I would personally find attractive and it would put me off my husband if he dressed like this.
He has great legs though!

None of your examples are relevant to this case and furthermore cross dressing is not a paraphilia which women indulge in. So no, is the short answer.

The article was originally dated 08.03.23. Thanks, WalesOnline, for running a story about a man wearing women's clothes on International Women's Day.

I'm astounded that he can get high heels to fit a man's width of foot.

Why does he need his wife to pick out the clothes?

He can wear whatever he wants. If it was the other way round no one would be able to question it

It's like Mr Benn meets Ezzie Izzard. Weird as fuck.

He does look good in the clothes but also looks incredibly smug, so yes I would find that very irritating.

I think he was dressed like either of these images it wouldn't bother me at all ( googled trendy womens work wear) It the fetishism aspect of it I don't like.

I wouldn't be happy and I wouldn't assume he was alright. I would question if he was on board with the marriage and what was so wrong that he had to express it like this. Nobody here would be happy if their husband got up like that tomorrow morning for work and the school run.

That said, if he wanted to keep doing it for reasons of his own, I would recognise his right to do that as accept it. But I don't think we'd be together.

The skirts and heels don't worry me so much as the massive attention seeking. That would be a deal breaker for me.

He looks like that childrens game where you make combinations out of cards - Mr Butcher's top half and Mrs Baker's bottom half. All very odd.

Nope, he looks a right tw@t

When women wear mens clothing they usually do so for reasons of comfort and practicality. I can't think of any way doing so would be in any way sexual (men's clothes are not designed to be sexually titillating for one thing) often its the reverse, they are concealing their sexuality.
This man is wearing items strongly associated with female sexuality, stiletto heels, sheer hosiery, skirts revealing legs. Basically a man's idea of 'sexy' womens clothes.

This is years old why are they dragging him up again?

Come on, he looks ridiculous.
There are many ways a man can look good in a skirt, this isn’t one of them, the heels especially.
I’m also wary of his reasons, given that so many AGP men are flaunting their fetishes in our faces.

Blimey Namechange1011111stairs I think you get the prize for most disingenuous post of the year so far.

Happy for him, I can’t wear that style of skirt and only wear heels for very special occasions, last time was 2016! And I’m a biologically born woman who never had gender identity issues and straight if that matters.

But no, I would rather my partner to be into the boring clothes that society deems normal for men nowadays.

Nope I wouldn’t because I couldn’t be with anyone who was so obsessed with attention like he obviously is.
