9 yards of wool would be uncomfortable in Texas, even in winter.

Yeah, I’d still like to anybody work in a real ‘outdoors’ job wearing one for a week.

Don’t forget that around here you get 2 months of sweltering muggy air like peanut butter, 4 months of wind swept cold and rain, and 6 months of mind numbing freezing your ass off.

None of it suitable for a man wearing a dress.

Why not? If it’s OK for females to wear pants, why not the other way around? We girls weren’t allowed to wear pants before we left home, and I couldn’t wait to get out of the house — and wear slacks. Then when I could, I realized they aren’t comfortable (to me), so rarely wear them. Skirts are much more comfortable.

What’s the big deal? Men wear skirts in Scotland.

And, upskirting pervs will no longer be forced to discriminate.

I agree; if they ever managed to make it acceptable for men to wear skirts, I’ll pass. Can’t manspread in a skirt; in fact, I see nothing that makes them appear more comfortable than shorts.

I see lots of foreign men wearing these long gowns; they look like they’re wearing pajamas or dress shirts that go down past your knees. It just reeks of an inferior culture where men don’t work.

“What’s the difference?”

When one wears a kilt, one also wears a dagger (dirk) protruding from one sock - and often a leather man-purse (sporran) to compensate for the lack of pockets. Definitely more manly...

I can't see a heterosexual guy being convinced to wear a skirt.

Now, a cassock look like Neo in The Matrix, that might work

I also occasionally see Muslim men walking around in a dress.

Thanks for that. I have always loved Lileks but haven’t been to his website in quite a while. Will have to spend a few hours there again soon.

He also did a radio show for a while that I caught a few times. Very clever. Don’t know if it’s available online at all.

Another Minnesotan with an excellent, inventive radio show, sadly gone now, is Tommy Mischke. Look up the Mischke Madness Archives for some grand listening and fabulous interviews.

Makes it easier for him to pee.

A relative was in North Africa in the 1930's. He said the Muslim "dress" enabled the men to more conveniently take a crap on the street. He just squats down, does his thing, and moves on.

Minnesota in February when it is 40 below will convince you why men don't wear skirts. Seeing the photos posted with a short skirt and no panty hose suggests he will soon have to cope with frostbitten knees (and unless he wears heavy panties, he will frost bite another vulnerable part of his anatomy).

It will also convince men as to why WOMEN don't wear skirts either.

And it doens't even have to be 40 below. Anything below 50 degrees is enough.

again?

We've only been wearing pants for about a thousands years or so. Before that, most everyone wore some type of skirt; robes, tunic, togas, etc.

when it’s cold, I wear a long skirt over leggings...in summer, I often wear a short skirt over capri length leggings. But, I’m a senior woman. I lived when girls HAD to wear skirts to school, and remember getting in trouble for the culotte dress I wore because the hem was 1 inch above my knee...oh, the good ole’ days!

This is news? They were pushing dresses for men fifty years ago. Some guy in the early 1970s even wanted everyone to dress like an India peasant.

Never thought of that as popular. Men have always worn skirts asfaik

And pants are a German design the ancient Romans laughed at.
