So... men in 'womens' clothing want the best of both worlds then?

“Clean kitchen worktops.” How to turn a MNetter on. Grin

I wonder if the good doctor will be making very public and vocal complaints about this. Am guessing not, because it would involve challenging (gay) men, rather than shouting at women.

Badstyley · 26/09/2018 08:11

Could someone please summarise? I’m not clicking through to them.

Artesia · 26/09/2018 08:11

In fact, can someone tweet him this story and ask his opinion? He might get in such a confused frenzy of woke-ness that he whirls into the ground like Rumplestiltskin

littlbrowndog · 26/09/2018 08:13

Yeps Harrop can get that club closed down in a minute

littlbrowndog · 26/09/2018 08:17

A guy was wearing high heeled boots to a club. The bouncer didn’t let him in dbecause the club is for bears

They don’t let guys in wearing womanly clothes. Or indeed women

OvaHere · 26/09/2018 08:18

The club it seems is gay men only and specifically caters to the Bear community which is a masculine presenting thing.

I think banning women is fine I can't think of a legitimate reason they need access to this club. I'm less sure on the clothing aspect but plenty of clubs have dress codes - no trainers etc...

I think it boils down to people being allowed to have certain spaces, not everywhere has to be a one size fits all approach.

Anlaf · 26/09/2018 08:22

Indeed. Bears tend to be burly bearded fellows and tend to wear items from the "barely there studded leather" section. Or nowt. It's quite a looks based scene.

(I imagine as obviously as a woman I have not been)

BettyDuMonde · 26/09/2018 08:23

A private club owner can set any dress code they like.

The man turned away for wearing very high heeled boots found another, more suitable, establishment nearby

Not sure why a beardy drag queen is now holding a protest, when the man turned away doesn’t seem to care and the club owner has suggested they could host a less-restrictive dress coded night, on a day other than ‘Bear Saturday’.

And yes, that is a very clean kitchen.

Anlaf · 26/09/2018 08:25

I fink usually they set up as members clubs rather than normal nightclubs to be better able to admit only blokes.

AngryAttackKittens · 26/09/2018 08:26

Gay club catering to bears doesn't want women (because gay) or men in drag/who're femmey (because bears)? Not seeing the problem here.

PiperPublickOccurrences · 26/09/2018 08:33

Pavel is a sensible chap.
"
It shouldn’t be about what you wear. That doesn’t define you. If you feel comfortable wearing high-heels or pink, if you feel good and you don’t hurt anyone, what’s the problem?” he added."

Badstyley why wouldn't you click through to pink news?

DieAntword · 26/09/2018 08:34

This sort of thing is exactly what the term “storm in a teacup” was designed for.

littlbrowndog · 26/09/2018 08:34

Yeah just a guy kicking off cos somebody said no to him
Maybe wants publicity for his group

Mrsmadevans · 26/09/2018 08:35

'Bear Saturday ' Grin hilarious

Anlaf · 26/09/2018 08:40

Gosh that is a clean kitchen.

StrangeLookingParasite · 26/09/2018 08:44

That kitchen is huge.

sportsdirectmug · 26/09/2018 08:46

I am cleaning my kitchen in pvc and having a pose down in Parvels honour. Love that guy.

sportsdirectmug · 26/09/2018 08:47

Strange - I know, and in central London! He must be minted. And so flexible.

littlbrowndog · 26/09/2018 08:49

But but the pointy heels and the Lino !!

OkMaybeNot · 26/09/2018 08:51

The night is for bears. Very masculine-presenting gay men. So the dress code excludes feminine attire. Why is this news or worthy of protest?!
