    I used to work for a manager who approached me one day to inform me that wearing shorts and flip flops to work was inappropriate.

    I was working as a software engineer, I didn’t interact with customers, and spent my entire day at the back of the building with other engineers.

    I asked if I could wear skirts and open toe heels like the woman in our office. He made it clear that wouldn’t be tolerated because he “didn’t want to see that.”

        Old man here. I wear a kilt every day, I don’t even own pants anymore. I call it a skirt because it makes other people uncomfortable in the best sort of way. Fuck 'em if they don’t like it.

        Quite literally why kilts, the Arabic Thawb, etc are a thing, it is the superior form for mobility and temperature regulation.

        Weird western purtian ideals made pants/trousers the social norm, which only make sense in cold winter climates.

        The only thing that matters is that it’s socially acceptable to yourself.

        As a dude (albeit a queer one) with a lot going on down there… I wear ankle length skirts in the summer time all the time. Super comfortable, doesn’t stick to my legs like pants do, still get the breeze passing over me like shorts do, and my junk breathes like it is inhaling oxygen for fun.

          no, the “wonder how many of them were into that” comment bothers me. A lot.

          alongside an “egg” which implies they were trans and masking

          congrats on calling a bunch of kids trans for wearing skirts

            Liberals love to talk about child sexuality just gotta let them be creeps by themselves. You won’t convince a creep/pedo to not have creepy thoughts and wishes for children

    Skirts are for everyone. They are functional. help with swamp ass, allow for easy leg movement and assert dominance if the fabric pattern is bold.

    Only real downside is chub rub if you got thick thighs. They made thigh covers for that though.
