I think the scottish have a leg up on ya lad.

Aside from that, sure men can wear them. But it is historically a women's article of clothing so maybe it would be like a sexuality identifier type thing. I dunno

It's the dark reality of double standards. I'm gay and I prefer to dress masculine, however, I'm aware that trying to dress feminine will invite more problems from both women AND men.

Women have true freedom of expression. They can express their emotions, sexuality, and career aspirations openly and fluidly without any reprucussions.

Ah yes, men have the right to look femme...

I'd rather focus on destigmatizing masculinity.

Wearing pink isn't rebellious. Wearing a suit is.

There is no law saying you can't. Just don't expect people/society to treat you seriously. That's a culture thing.

spike_beagle · 2024-12-29T22:39:25+00:00

No offense, but this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel... wear a skirt, don't wear a skirt. Is this really outrage-worthy? I think we have bigger issues to tackle.

AirlockBob77 · 2024-12-29T22:19:59+00:00

What's stopping you mate? Go for it.

Organic_Falcon228 · 2024-12-29T22:17:20+00:00

Men can wear kilts.

Appropriate-Pin2214 · 2024-12-29T22:15:07+00:00

Men should all wear low cut shirts for a day

Upper-Divide-7842 · 2024-12-30T00:04:28+00:00

You do have this right. Nobody can legally stop you from wearing a skirt.

Professional-You2968 · 2024-12-29T21:59:11+00:00

You have the right to do so. There is no law stopping you.

EgalitarianMale2 · 2024-12-29T22:49:18+00:00

I personally don't believe there should be any restrictions in what you want to wear as long as it's not too exposing or contains offensive language or imagery.

Feel free to be yourself and look your best. Don't let traditional gender roles limit you.

CeleryMan20 · 2024-12-29T22:18:47+00:00

Togas for the win!

Former_Range_1730 · 2024-12-29T23:43:14+00:00

You can wear skirts. It's just not going to help your dating prospects with women.

Apprehensive-Feed-51 · 2024-12-30T00:24:10+00:00

Men can wear whatever they want, though I feel like other men would not be very happy with this choice as it is more feminine

NightStalker123456 · 2024-12-30T01:43:24+00:00

What an absurd post

DragoAvatar812 · 2024-12-30T02:49:08+00:00

I don't know about skirts, but we definitely need to bring back medieval armour clothing! At least metal shoulder pads 🔥

DecisionPlastic9740 · 2024-12-29T22:00:02+00:00

Also sleeveless shirts

Imoldok · 2024-12-30T01:28:24+00:00

Women have taken over many mens fashions from the past. Riding boots, tights, (it's too bad I got rid of my costume fashion through the ages book or I could list more),slipper shoes, puffy hats and more.

GDACK · 2024-12-30T01:36:23+00:00

I often wear skirts and dresses. I even wear hot pants and daisy dukes but people complain about my balls hanging out.

People are so judgy

NarlusSpecter · 2024-12-30T01:43:01+00:00

Nobody is stopping you guys. Sneakers look better under a skirt, 100% true.

ms4720 · 2024-12-30T02:52:40+00:00

You can be scottish

Bengal_Chad · 2024-12-30T03:04:16+00:00

Try Lungi then(Burmese origin dress, and also worn by many Indian men)

mr_j_12 · 2024-12-30T03:29:17+00:00

Had a mate who worked at a place where men couldnt wear shorts, but anyone could wear dresses/skirts. So for two weeks straight he wore his wifes dress to work till they changed the rules.

goofyhoover · 2024-12-30T03:50:37+00:00

Wear whatever you fucking want mate.

SidewaysGiraffe · 2024-12-29T21:47:38+00:00

Um, where, exactly, is that right lacking? I'd think "somewhere in the Middle East, probably", but they're the folks who invented caftans, and wear what are more-or-less dresses, since they're better suited to the desert heat. There's probably SOMEWHERE where it's against the law, but that's only because there are so many jurisdictions. In general, you're free to do so.

Genghis_Card · 2024-12-29T23:10:19+00:00

Nobody cares what you wear.

HeliosOh · 2024-12-29T23:13:31+00:00

Women had to fight for the right to wear jeans.

You will have an uphill battle for men wearing skirts to become publically acceptable.

Maybe attempt to gather other men who'd like to wear skirts publically, without the sexualization, and form a men's rights group. Call yourselves Men in Tights or Men in Skirts, or PLEATS

From ChatGPT: PLEATS: Promoting Liberation, Equality, Acceptance, and Tolerance in Style

This hypothetical men's rights group would focus on advocating for a society where clothing is free from gender-based stereotypes, promoting the idea that individuals—regardless of gender—can wear traditionally "female" clothing without facing ridicule or stigma.

Goals of PLEATS

Promoting Liberation:

Challenge societal norms that restrict men's clothing choices.

Encourage men to embrace self-expression through diverse styles.

Equality:

Fight for equal treatment of clothing choices for all genders.

Highlight the double standards between men's and women's fashion.

Acceptance:

Foster a culture of acceptance where men feel comfortable wearing traditionally feminine clothing (e.g., skirts, dresses, or heels).

Tolerance:

Educate the public to reduce judgment and ridicule aimed at men expressing themselves through non-traditional fashion.

Style Freedom:

Advocate for desexualizing articles of clothing traditionally associated with women (e.g., lace, floral prints) so men can wear them without societal implications.

Activities

Hosting fashion shows featuring men in diverse clothing styles.

Organizing social media campaigns to challenge stereotypes.

Collaborating with designers to create gender-neutral collections.

Providing support networks for men exploring fashion freedom.

The acronym "PLEATS" cleverly ties to clothing while reinforcing the group's core mission of empowering men to wear what they want without fear of judgment.

In any case, good luck. If you do anything egalitarian in nature I'd be willing to purchase a pin

Good luck and chin up

It's weird as fuck, but you can wear it. You can even find some male skirts, and it's not just kilt, but in different styles and designs.

Witty-Bear1120 · 2024-12-30T00:27:53+00:00

It’s called a kilt. Saw it everywhere when I lived in Seattle
