What's are shorts if not a skirt with a seam up the middle?

True. But do Scottish men wear them as normal everyday attire?

And you make one error:  you assume that I assume that. ;-)

but you do, that is why you wear dresses.   You can't figure out a good reason why men shouldn't wear dresses, you assume there isn't one, then you put a dress on.

The only place I have seen those trough-style urinals are in gay bars.

not sure if serious.

Of course I am being serious. Most gay bars I have been to use trough-style urinals.

strange.   I wonder why.

Only part time.

Actually I think most of the women in the hot women thread look silly and somewhat uncomfortable

but it's just clothing.

Yikes! Her back must hurt.

Warbler, a lot of men now wear earrings, something that was traditionally worn by women (although it was also worn by men in the past). It doesn't matter whether the man is gay, straight, bi, asexual or whatever, that has become a social norm that people have come to accept. But why should something like that get a pass, whereas me wearing lipstick, skirts and dresses not?

I guess wearing an earring is not as obvious as wearing a dress.

in what situations would skirts be more function clothing than pants?

shorts ≠ skirts.   Two completely different things.

Hey, it's me. said: There a forms of attire that are specifically related and designed for the sexes. And skirts, along with high heels and blouses etc are for women. Just the way it is. Somethings will never change...lol :-D (love that tune)

this ^  a thousand times over.

Hey, it's me. said:

Bingowings said:

^Sarongs, kilts and grass skirts are already sold in mens clothing shops.

And a large minority of people dabble in 'trannywear' for a variety of reasons, some having a laugh, some because the clothes feel comfortable, some because they just want to or because they are transgender.

And these things do change.

The hair of men and women has gone through cycles of acceptability, beards for men once seen as practically mandatory are now practically banned by some employers, in the past only labourers wore jeans now anyone can.

 

I can't see skirts ever becoming unisex attire. Hairy legs do not suit skirts and men haven't got hour glass figures. A skirt is designed to show off the natural curves of a woman's body. The same way as a tailor made suit from Saville Row is designed to fit a mans physique.

ditto.

All depends. Are you a terrifically figured attractive young woman? Or a fat, middle aged slob of a man?

None of the above... well, besides the "young" and "man" parts.

So are those my only options for wearing a tiny dress? :(

Well, on that basis alone. If you were to wear one say, in ordinary every life. Like going to the shops or work or a job interview for example? What statement would you be trying to make? Excluding the 'I'm different from everyone else because I'm an extrovert and what I wear is testament to me as a person because I don't let my personality differentiate me from everyone else rather its what I choose to dress myself in that separates me.' ?

Who says I'm trying to make a statement? I wear them cos I feel comfortable wearing them and I like the look of them. And I don't wear them all the time, I recently attended both a funeral and wedding recently and I wore a suit to both events. Sometimes I like to wear trousers and shirts and stuff, and sometimes I like to wear skirts. 

And I'm probably more introverted than extroverted actually :P

You feel comfortable wearing a dress. Ok so what sort of a dress? A big flowery frock maybe? A tight, figure hugging above the knee type number? In a place I worked at a few years, there was a bloke who dressed strangely. He had the Mohican haircut, ear piercings, nose piercings, tattoos. Everything about him said interesting. And over 5 years of getting to know the man I came to the conclusion, that he was as dull as dishwater. I've encountered more interesting farts than this bloke. So why did he chose to dress the way he did? Was it the music he listened to? Was he trying to compensate for his lack of personality? From what I gather the statement your making is 'I don't care what you think is regarded as normal, I'm going to wear what I please.' Well that's going to shake the foundations of society isn't it?

Well that's entirely up to them as individuals. If, lets say, a girl of portly stature wants to wear a figure hugging skirt? Then she should fill her boots. Ill have my opinion of that, wether you agree with it or not. As for girls who chose not to shave their legs and then display them? I can't comment because I've never known such a girl. Sorry.

Not everyman does but I see more kilts than I see tweed Jackets or wool overcoats.

They are a common sight in most towns and cities.

shorts ≠ skirts.   Two completely different things. 

In the sense that one has legs and the other doesn't.

If you were to sew a seam up a skirt you would have a pair of trousers.

Alexander the Great, Jesus Christ, Louis XVi, Henry 8th, this dude on "Star Trek."

 

None of them wore pants. And Louis loved high heels.

So you are saying because CP3S sees these urinals in the gay bars he's been to gay people go to the toilet to look at each other?

Most of the gay bars I've been to (admittedly it has been a while) had individual urinals and I've never encountered that sort of activity in a gay bar.

Maybe you should go in a gay bar or two Warb and get a reality check.

Let's say I want to engage in sexual relations with some dude, or I aspire to become a women when I can afford it; how does this make things complicated for you?

hello?  we were just talking about one of the complications in this very thread before I made my 'nazi statement'.

Wait, the public restroom thing?! I guess I just see that as an extremely small issue. I have mused over which restroom transsexuals or cross dressers may use before, but it was never more than just musing. I've never seen it as a genuine issue or complication.

 

Warbler said:

this coming from the guy that once defended the ban on gays openly serving in the military due to all the complications that arise from gay and straight soldiers using the same bathrooms and showers, sleeping in the same rooms, and using the same foxholes. 

Part of what I argued was related to the issue that many in the military are good ole' country boys, and near and peeing next to gay guys would be hard on morale. I'd probably feel slightly ashamed if I went back and read some of my older posts in this thread.

The reality is, YOU have been one of the many factors that has helped me open my mind on this particular topic, as well as other topics. Which made your views expressed in here all the more surprising to me.
