Men should wear skirts/kilts and women should wear trousers - ther's a logic to this

Now what do you think of this....
Surely, from a logic point of view, men should wear skirts or kilts, not trousers. It would avoid the "which side do you dress" scenario, and we could hang loose (better to keep 'em cool).
Women, however, who have no dangly bits, are naturally better suited to jeans or shorts, as they don't.
Somehow fashion has got it the wrong way round ?
This is a serious question, not cd based !!

The human body actually does many things to keep the contents of the mans parts cool, so in a technical sense closing it all in must be bad for those contents. Obviously then a skirt/kilt would be better for keeping those parts cool.
Technically speaking of course.

Any excuse to wear a skirt. Do we need an excuse to wear a skirt, no we don,t. If you are wanting to keep cool then men should wear loose pants as well and not wear tights. Stops the air getting to your parts which can cause a low sperm count.

I wear a kilt about 98% of the time. It is amazingly comfortable. It does attract alot attention, so I try not to wear heels with them. Kinda funny how the skirt is when I am in 'man' mode, and the heels and pants in my more feminine times. Hmmmm

The designer and all of you have some very good points. And you never know how the evolution of fashion will end up. I personally have never felt comfortable wearing a skirt or dress. But what woman (and many men) doesn't look good in a pretty dress or skirt while wearing high heels? And if they are comfortable wearing them, all the better.

i wear micro shorts a lot but too i feel awkward in a skirt, for me its over the edge whereas heels i wear out all the time, although i do dress-length t shirts and knitted dresses over the shorts on occasions. Legs for it ok yes, too far for soulmate are skirts.

I could easily do the skirt thing but the circumstances, well...........

I don't feel at all awkward or uncomfortable in a skirt, if anything, it feels natural to me, and with my long legs, I look particularly good in a short skirt. However, I've yet to actually go out in a skirt, mainly because I just can't screw up the courage to do so, so I guess I'm kind of hypocritical in that regard and I am uncomfortable.

But the world as a whole needs to wake up and get over the ludicrous gender division when it comes to clothing, i.e. only men should wear this while only women wear that. It's all so ridiculous to me. The stigma associated with men wearing skirts is preposterous while women can wear anything and everything without getting any sort of scorn or ridicule that we receive when seen wearing items allegedly associated with women.

I wish society would expand its horizons and realize that clothing should have no gender division.

Jeff, this is exactly the conversation I had with my wife yesterday. She grudgingly goes along with the clothes, boots etc. at home in limited doses but was not very happy about (well see the nail polish for men thread).

Anyway, I mentioned to her all of the styles women wear now that were men's - thigh high boots, high heels, stockings, wigs, and so on. She heard it but still wasn't all that happy about it. We all live to survive another day!!
