This video just made me happy. A day organized by the Swiss organization, Die Feministen (The Feminists), called for men to come out in large numbers wearing skirts to work in Zurich, Switzerland.
Since starting this blog, I have heard from a number of men whose interest in wearing skirts and other clothing typically found in the women’s department has led to them questioning their gender. This is also something I went through and it almost cost me my marriage.
I chickened out today. I woke up this morning with the good intention of wearing a skirt when going to the city of Regensburg, but got cold feet and changed into pants right before catching the train.
This article from El País is spot-on with their analysis of misogynistic prejudice and how that affects men who wear skirts.
A couple of weeks ago, I had an interesting conversation with a woman about men in skirts while riding a crowded train.
Not long ago, I went to my son’s daycare and came across a boy in a dress and had a great conversation with his mom.
This is a very interesting article about exploring masculinity through fashion. It featured a lot of men wearing gender-non-conforming clothing and discusses how this can be used to explore a man’s masculinity.
Several of you contacted me with a link to this article all the way back in January, so I knew I had to read it and post about it, but it’s only being published today because I had a long list of other links that were already scheduled to be published.
This is a brief, but interesting article from 2022 about an experiment done with the author’s group of male friends and having them wear skirts.
Why is there the perception amongst the uninformed that men are just wearing gender-non-conforming clothes for their own sexual pleasure?
