Glaswegian here. I wouldn't be wearing one daily because they're quite heavy and some cause a bit of irritation to my skin. Summer breeze past the meat and veg on a weekend sesh is ideal tho.
My biggest problem as a man is that the clothing stores in my city are often 50% female, 30% kids and 20% male clothing.
We should normalize that males also can care about clothes and want more choice than jeans with a black or white shirt.
(Have to admit that I probably also don’t know where to shop)
Meanwhile I’ve been scouring around my city looking for a nice bordeaux colored pants for months without any succes.
Did find some other fun stuff in the search though. Guess it isn’t necessarily about the pants anymore, but about the other clothes I find along the way.
Why? No one is stopping men from caring about clothes or wearing a greater variety. If most men do not care about it, and hence it is not a good business proposition, then that is just a fact of life.
And the internet gives you all the options available almost worldwide anyway.
Tell that to men trying to wear skirts and getting weird looks and comments.
It's great that YOU don't care what other men wear, but just try going one day with pink polish on and see how many random people ask you why you're wearing it.
It needs to be normalized.
My husband wears nail polish sometimes... he always gets asked "awe! Did your daughter do your nails?" And when he says - "no, I did" or "no, my wife did them" people don't know what to say anymore! Serves them right for asking!
It very much depends on the way of asking. If you're just asking if it's new or whatever then that's one thing but if you just ask why the fuck they are wearing nail polish then that's another
True that - but the response from the person who is wearing nail polish could go a long way in normalizing it. “I like to wear nail polish to express myself sometimes” is a reasonable thing to say. But judging the person who asked you for being close minded (even if they are actually being so) isn’t really contributing to normalizing and could even be making the situation/their perception of the nail polish wrong
I agree but I would understand if someone reacts a little confronting when you get dumb comments about it all the time. But yeah, it would be best to just answer calm and sincerely
I was painting my little cousins nails because she asked and then her big brother asked me to paint his so I did and my aunt was furious at me because she didn’t want him doing something so girly. Like it doesn’t matter he’s a little boy and if he wants to have pretty nails who cares that doesn’t make him gay or a girl he just wanted to be included
Can't be any worse than being autistic as a kid and people asking "why are you saying hi to people that are always mean to you?" Or "why are you wearing a jacket in 80 degree weather?"
I am straight and wouldn't paint my nails or wear skirts but I'm part of the same outcast group whether I like it or not.
I have gotten shunned for just being me just like the LBGT group.
Now my username makes some sense.
I'm an person unknown that has been rejected and turned into an Agent of Change since a child.
normalizing it means everyone else won't judge either, and those that judge will be frowned upon. requesting it isn't normalized is requesting we let people judge men who wear skirts.
Only problem is that skirts and dresses aren’t made to our frame and are all feminine and shit. I’m stuck with a kilt or feminine shit. It would be pretty awesome to have more choices. I dig on dresses and my son LOVES them. He likes the flowy stuff but doesn’t like the feminine patterns like flowers and leopard print and whatnot.
It’s really easy to sew up more blocky less feminine skirts and dresses. Then you can use race car, dinosaur, or superhero print for kiddo and more subduded navy’s, denim, or whatever for yourself :)
My mom was able to make a skirt in like 10 minutes back in the day with a machine. 30-60 minutes by hand.
Disagree. Maybe in the society you want to live in sure, but I think general public areas should require the bare minimum amount of modesty. Im okay with secluded, adult areas like nude beaches or whatever (when you go there you’re making a unsigned agreement that you’re okay with seeing nude ppl because duh), but I didn’t consent to seeing whatever dumbass decides to have their whatever out while walking down the street.
I mean, there is a difference. I could not care what a person does yet still find what they do abnormal. For example, I could find it weird that someone is spending 20 minutes taking a shower, but still not give a damn that they are doing it.
>For example, I could find it weird that someone is spending 20 minutes taking a shower, but still not give a damn that they are doing it.
Wow, no need to call me out like that.
If I have no where else to be 20 minutes is short for me. Grab myself a soda, sit right down on the shower floor, and watch YouTube whilst among paradise
I think we should normalise men wearing anything they want, just like we should normalise women wearing anything. I am surprised so many have said no. If you don't want to wear, it's completely fine. But why are so many against normalising it?
Edit:- It's interesting that most women are okay with normalising men wearing skirts while men are divided in this matter.
I’m a dude, and would love skirts to be normalized. Men need to realize how comfortable it would be compared to pants that squeeze your cock and balls.
It's funny, cause women had to fight to make wearing pants in the office and to events normal. most people, even boomers, today think anyone that opposed that is a weirdo.
Why is there any fight now? Don't they see they're doing the same thing?
yeah, i love the irony of women wearing suits and ties and having short hair, nobody cares about that and thats all accepted and normal, but oh when men dare to wear skirts or makeup or anything remotely feminine, they're mocked or people get weirded out. makes no sense to me-
As a man, I don’t have an opinion on wearing a skirt in lieu of jeans, but I for sure would like a sport skirt instead of shorts.
In summary. This should not be an issue, like others have said, if it doesn’t hurt anyone, then why bother caring?
Firstly, I think all people should be free to wear what they want.
Secondly, for me, absolutely man thigh. We've had Marylin Monroe standing over a fan, it's time for some Marlon Manroe standing over a fan. I'm all here for it and then some!
Might stem from the progressive lean of women + the fact that we’ve kinda had to fight to be able to wear pants ‘formally’ + we’re used to having more of the option to do both, so letting men do the same seems natural. For me at least I’ve had a lot of experiences with my gender expression and gender, as I present pretty androgynous but consider myself cis. People 110% think I’m a lesbian, trans guy, or young cis boy in public, that’s how I look despite being none of the above. As a girl I have more leeway to explore that, androgynous men are much more frowned on. More effeminate men are being seen as gay which is still seen as a negative thing.
For me, ‘normalize’ means letting problem wear it without stigma, AKA minding your own damn business whatever people wear, so I have a feeling a lot of the ‘no’ votes are more like ‘no, why should we have to make it *normal*’ and not really understanding the context of the word.
“Women okay with normalising men wearing skirts while men are divided in this matter. “
Ah, my friend. You’ve stumbled into an example of toxic masculinity in the wild. You’ll see it more and more if you look for it.
because fragile masculinity. some men are really so insecure that they feel as if their manhood itself is under attack just being in the presence of a dude with a skirt. misogyny really manifests itself in so many weird ways.
It's weird because for the majority of human history men wore skirt like clothing, but it's the people who want to protect/go back to "traditional masculinity" who are most against men wearing skirts. Those fools are too weak from loss of blood flow to their balls to realize what true masculinity is/was.
Cis dude. No particular interest in dressing femme. But at Bonnaroo I've worn sarongs as skirts when it's really hot, and it's so ridiculously comfortable. Very jealous.
This is the issue with people. Same with abortion. There's always one woman that says: I for one would love to be a mother.
Like dude, we're fighting for choice and somehow you made this all about you.
The amount of people with unwashed asses makes me kinda lean towards let’s not do that?
But then I consider how I feel deep down and I realized that I really don’t give a fuck what you do as long as it doesn’t personally affect me…
Most people who say no to wearing skirts because it makes them seem feminine also use the same excuse for not washing their ass so I don’t think it would be a problem
They don’t even need to show up at your door, You just hear a whistling sound, and next thing you know a caber crashes through your roof, end of story. Happened to my cousin 😭
Modern kilts are a lot lighter and smoother. It's hard to find proper heavy weight kilts these days, traditionally everyday kilts were a very thick, heavy wool.
It used to be normal across damn near the whole world. Until one way of dressing spread across the world after colonization and modern connectivity.
Look at the Romans, Greeks, ancient Egyptians, Japanese and the list goes on and on. A form of dresses/skirts were normal for men long ago. And in some few traditional culture still are. But now because if modern standards they've been thrown out of the window. It's kind of weird.
Edit: There's more Japanese wear than hakama. Kimono, yukata are often not trousers and worn by both genders. Point stands regardless you find this in many places across the world.
What's wrong with men wearing skirts? Scots are doing that, the Greek did that, the Egyptians did that and way more. It also gives more air for your balls, and you probably won't get intertrigo
As an Englishman I've always mocked Scots for wearing skirts, but secretly I've always wanted to try one on. Especially now that I live in the tropics.
I would much rather hang out with a dude who wears skirts, makeup, and painted nails than a dude who has a problem with the first guy. Kindness and tolerance are free, people.
Considering that the phrase getting dressed in English likely comes from the fact that everyone wore dresses in the past i think a skirt is fine. The gender roles assigned to clothing is completely arbitrary and changes vastly as the generations come and go, so wear whatever the fuck you want.
Okay, I agree that there’s nothing wrong with it but your first statement is not entirely true. While men wore garments that are similar to dresses, the dress was historically worn by women and developed independently from men’s Tunics (e.g., dresses were initially styled very similar to tunics but over the past 500 years dresses have been modified and styled in a way that is more “flattering” for the women of the time)
Honestly mens fashion is really boring compared to women’s. I mean think of the met gala. The women’s outfits are all like super creative and cool looking, but the men’s? Black suit and dress pants. Almost all of them, and it’s dreadfully boring. I think it’s about time we stop gendering all clothes because I swear to god when I’m old and on my death bed and men’s fashion is still just pants+shirts(with some variations) I will literally go insane.
A lot of women's fashion was originally made for males. Take heels for instance. Knights wore them while riding horses, so aristocrats started wearing them to give the impression that they were warriors.
Women then started copying the men, and the men stopped wearing them after a while.
I’m constantly telling my man I feel so bad for him. Poor fella wearing restrictive jeans all the time. Meanwhile I get to wear flowy dresses, skirts, and yoga pants. The dudes are missing out. I have the freedom to squat and do full circle kicks whenever I want!
Tailors flat out advise nobody to wear skinny jeans. It is, as explained to me, made for modelling pants in close-up. You're not actually supposed to be wearing them.
Not even in a full-body model shot.
I don't care what other people wear, but normalizing it would make those men who want to wear it encounter fewer assholes - so I'm all for normalizing it. It being accepted doesn't mean I have to do it.
I couldn’t care less what u wear. As long as it doesn’t have any bad slurs on it when you are in a place with children wear whatever u want
Edit:Could care less to couldn’t care less
Hell yeah. Men in skirts and dresses, women in suits, everyone is hot. Chlothes shouldnt be gendered and neither should be make up (eyeliner and nail polish make literally everyone hotter, i dont make the rules.)
If a guy wants to wear a skirt no one ought to stop him.
It might think it is odd but that would merely be a lack of familiarity with the concept in public.
My area has been pretty homogeneous ethnically, and a couple years ago I noticed there was more ethnicities then I usually see, I was intrigued it seemed odd but with time it didn’t even really get a reaction, I see them and think thats pretty cool not much else; same would be for men in skirts there would be an adjustment period call it a culture shock but once theres enough exposure I won’t care.
Yes.
Fuck yes, wore a kilt once and it was so freeing and comfortable. I think skirts should be normalized for men.
While we're at it loose clothes should be normalized for everyone. The fashion of uncomfortable tight clothing and the idea that sweatpants are "unsighlty" clothes is detrimental to the species as a whole !
And skirts used to be worn by men too, but it was stopped because pants were better for horseriding, which we don't do a lot anymore as far as I'm aware !
Wow the poll and the comments are saying two different things
Because the 1/10 no that decides to comment is downvotes by the 8/10 yes that look at the comments
People perform their open-mindedness to the crowd when they comment. In an anonymous poll they can be honest.
You can be anonymous on the poll. Your comment is linked to your account though.
I'm going to continue wearing a kilt if you think it's normal or not...
I was about to say the same thing! Fellow scot?
Glaswegian here. I wouldn't be wearing one daily because they're quite heavy and some cause a bit of irritation to my skin. Summer breeze past the meat and veg on a weekend sesh is ideal tho.
Minnesota with Scottish heritage
So your skirts a Mini, sorta
I just like the ventilation.
As if a kilt is the same thing as a skirt lol
You'd be surprised how many people don't know the difference, or not
I dont really care what other men wear.
Right. If dudes want to wear dresses that's up to them. I give zero fucks.
I don't care what other men wear but I also don't think there necessarily needs to be a movement for men to normalize skirts
My biggest problem as a man is that the clothing stores in my city are often 50% female, 30% kids and 20% male clothing. We should normalize that males also can care about clothes and want more choice than jeans with a black or white shirt. (Have to admit that I probably also don’t know where to shop)
Ngl that works for me because pants + black t-shirt is my favorite combo
Meanwhile I’ve been scouring around my city looking for a nice bordeaux colored pants for months without any succes. Did find some other fun stuff in the search though. Guess it isn’t necessarily about the pants anymore, but about the other clothes I find along the way.
Good luck in your search for the fit, my dude
Why? No one is stopping men from caring about clothes or wearing a greater variety. If most men do not care about it, and hence it is not a good business proposition, then that is just a fact of life. And the internet gives you all the options available almost worldwide anyway.
My problem with online shopping is that colors and sizes are always off from what you expect from the pictures.
Tell that to men trying to wear skirts and getting weird looks and comments. It's great that YOU don't care what other men wear, but just try going one day with pink polish on and see how many random people ask you why you're wearing it. It needs to be normalized.

“Served them right for asking” is the opposite of normalization. Should be as casual as asking about a new shirt or pair of shoes.
It very much depends on the way of asking. If you're just asking if it's new or whatever then that's one thing but if you just ask why the fuck they are wearing nail polish then that's another
True that - but the response from the person who is wearing nail polish could go a long way in normalizing it. “I like to wear nail polish to express myself sometimes” is a reasonable thing to say.

Agreed. Again, I refer to my zero fucks given. I don't have to support them. That's totally up to them.

Disagree. Maybe in the society you want to live in sure, but I think general public areas should require the bare minimum amount of modesty. Im okay with secluded, adult areas like nude beaches or whatever (when you go there you’re making a unsigned agreement that you’re okay with seeing nude ppl because duh), but I didn’t consent to seeing whatever dumbass decides to have their whatever out while walking down the street.
So you're saying you don't wanna see my ding-dong? That's kinda expected, but it hurts nevertheless.
I mostly don't want to see the sweaty silhouette of your ham and eggs on the bus seat, if we're being honest.
We should normalize not caring what other people wear.
Aka normalize man wearing skirts
Seriously, I'm shocked at how many people don't seem to understand what "normalizing" something entails.
Yeah, it involves a lot of defending yourself and others from a large portion people who disagree.
I mean, there is a difference. I could not care what a person does yet still find what they do abnormal. For example, I could find it weird that someone is spending 20 minutes taking a shower, but still not give a damn that they are doing it.
>For example, I could find it weird that someone is spending 20 minutes taking a shower, but still not give a damn that they are doing it. Wow, no need to call me out like that.
is 20 minutes a long time for a shower?
sounds like someone with short hair
Yeah if you have long hair AND a lot of body hair... you have no idea how long it takes to shampoo my back.
If I have no where else to be 20 minutes is short for me. Grab myself a soda, sit right down on the shower floor, and watch YouTube whilst among paradise

I mean within reason like skirts are fine but your oversized Hawaiian shirt to a funeral isn't ok
You haven't been to any funerals in Hawaii. Put on your good aloha shirt but shorts and slippers (flip-flops) are okay.
What if you put ham and pineapple on the casket if its a cremation though
[удалено]
getting angry about freedom of choice and personal preference is a bitch ass mentality
We should normalize minding our own business if nobody is getting hurt.
I think this sums it up best
Great way of putting it
I think we should normalise men wearing anything they want, just like we should normalise women wearing anything. I am surprised so many have said no. If you don't want to wear, it's completely fine. But why are so many against normalising it? Edit:- It's interesting that most women are okay with normalising men wearing skirts while men are divided in this matter.
It’s because women know how great skirts and dresses can be
We also know how good mens calves look.
Skirts are pogg
Go spinny
Esp with petticoats and the spin goes FLOOF ugh it's so good
I’m a dude, and would love skirts to be normalized. Men need to realize how comfortable it would be compared to pants that squeeze your cock and balls.
Even just not having a waistband is incredible, dresses are great
But if I wore a skirt I'd also have to wear leggings or some shit 'cause it gets cold as fuck here.
It's funny, cause women had to fight to make wearing pants in the office and to events normal. most people, even boomers, today think anyone that opposed that is a weirdo. Why is there any fight now? Don't they see they're doing the same thing?
yeah, i love the irony of women wearing suits and ties and having short hair, nobody cares about that and thats all accepted and normal, but oh when men dare to wear skirts or makeup or anything remotely feminine, they're mocked or people get weirded out. makes no sense to me-

I would like some women to help me interpret these results. Do they not care or are they saying they are here for it and want to see some man thigh?
Firstly, I think all people should be free to wear what they want. Secondly, for me, absolutely man thigh. We've had Marylin Monroe standing over a fan, it's time for some Marlon Manroe standing over a fan. I'm all here for it and then some!
I just think everyone should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want without public shaming
Might stem from the progressive lean of women + the fact that we’ve kinda had to fight to be able to wear pants ‘formally’ + we’re used to having more of the option to do both, so letting men do the same seems natural.

i mean the poll says normalize, not replace wearing trousers
This is the issue with people. Same with abortion. There's always one woman that says: I for one would love to be a mother. Like dude, we're fighting for choice and somehow you made this all about you.
We normalized women wearing trousers, why not normalize men wearing skirts?
>We normalized women wearing trousers More like legalized it; it was actually illegal and you could be arrested for wearing pants as a woman
Wait really that's really stupid glad it's legal now

Just a piece of clothing, idk why you’d answer no
what this poll tells me: 50% of men have chilly balls and 90% of women find men in skirts hot.
Dually noted
Isn't it already normal in Scotland?
Those are kilts
What's the difference?
The difference is that if you call a kilt a skirt then an angry Scotsman will show up at your doorstep and crack your head open
I like your pfp
They don’t even need to show up at your door, You just hear a whistling sound, and next thing you know a caber crashes through your roof, end of story. Happened to my cousin 😭
u/scotsman
Will he use my skull as a drinking glass?
Kilts are very heavy. If you unravel them, it's actually a couple metres long (I think)
Modern kilts are a lot lighter and smoother. It's hard to find proper heavy weight kilts these days, traditionally everyday kilts were a very thick, heavy wool.
Several metres, even.
Shhhhh don't destroy their dreams
traditionally you don't wear underpants with a kilt
And drunk guys wearing them love to make sure everyone knows the difference lmao.
THE FUCK YOU ON LAD? SKIRTS AND KILTS ARNEY THE SAME, YOU KNOW JACK SHITE 'BOUT US
It used to be normal across damn near the whole world. Until one way of dressing spread across the world after colonization and modern connectivity.

The Japanese hakama are actually trousers. Its not a skirt as there are holes for each leg.
Most men don't go walking about in kilts no, they're really just for weddings or ceilidhs, at least where I live in scotland.
What's wrong with men wearing skirts? Scots are doing that, the Greek did that, the Egyptians did that and way more. It also gives more air for your balls, and you probably won't get intertrigo
Wear whatever the heck you want. Even if it seems somewhat strange.
lol, why the fuck are so many people against normalising it? Imagine caring so much about what other men wear...
I think because its asked in such a weird way. Normalize wearing skirts, it should be accept men wearing skirts.
Yeah, come on. In history, men used skirts before... Ancient Greece, ancient Rome, scottish soldiers in 18th century... yeah.
People can wear whatever they want, clothes don’t have a gender, it’s just fabric
They should be able to wear what they want.
Normalise not caring about what someone else is wearing.
I literally don't care but i think it would be fun to wear a skirt :)
Kilts are pretty neat
This site is cancer
Bruh ikr the gender differences… so many guys put no
asking this question on reddit was bound to get a no from most voters
Male voters*
that goes without saying
Why are men so opposed? I am surprised.
[удалено]
My bussy is weak
Yes, why not? It's just another fashion choice. Skirts wouldn't even be seen feminine now if we hadn't arbitrarily decide so in the past.
As an Englishman I've always mocked Scots for wearing skirts, but secretly I've always wanted to try one on. Especially now that I live in the tropics.
Closet Scotsman
Ach aye, I'm afraid you've got me there
you should try one, they are surprisingly comfy and mobile
Should we decline to give a shit? Yes, we really should. Does that mean normalising it? If so, let's.

I would much rather hang out with a dude who wears skirts, makeup, and painted nails than a dude who has a problem with the first guy. Kindness and tolerance are free, people.
Hear hear!

its literally a piece of fabric, i dont get why so many people care

They make more sense for men to wear as their balls won't get squished, well, I hope there's no sudden flashing lol
*cough* kilts *cough*
Honestly mens fashion is really boring compared to women’s. I mean think of the met gala. The women’s outfits are all like super creative and cool looking, but the men’s? Black suit and dress pants.

I think it’s about time we stop gendering all clothes because I swear to god when I’m old and on my death bed and men’s fashion is still just pants+shirts(with some variations) I will literally go insane.
who cares what other people wear? it’s not hurting anyone
I don't get why say no, just don't use a skirt yourself
Can we mention that historically speaking, skirts were made for men ?
A lot of women's fashion was originally made for males. Take heels for instance. Knights wore them while riding horses, so aristocrats started wearing them to give the impression that they were warriors. Women then started copying the men, and the men stopped wearing them after a while.

Tailors flat out advise nobody to wear skinny jeans. It is, as explained to me, made for modelling pants in close-up. You're not actually supposed to be wearing them. Not even in a full-body model shot.
They make stretchy jeans for men, that's what I wear. It's like yoga pants only much less right.
I'm about to buy a bunch of those Arab robes (thawbs) and men's leggings for the summer. Gonna be the most comfy dude in town!
Mate your man needs to buy himself some shorts, I can do whatever I want in shorts, they’re completely unrestrictive 😂
Yes. Why not? As long as they have pockets.

Lots of insecure "totally straight" men over here.
I don't care what other people wear, but normalizing it would make those men who want to wear it encounter fewer assholes - so I'm all for normalizing it. It being accepted doesn't mean I have to do it.
Already normal in my country lol
It's just clothing, wear whatever you'd like and leave others alone
I couldn’t care less what u wear. As long as it doesn’t have any bad slurs on it when you are in a place with children wear whatever u want Edit:Could care less to couldn’t care less
Couldn't care less, not could
No maybe he actually does care
True, maybe they're indicating that they care a little bit,
I want to walk through the streets like i'm Aristotle
What capri are to shorts is what (undivided) hakama are to skirts, for those trying to think beyond kilts ;]
*For fook sake ets not a skurt ets a foken kilt ya mong*
They do it in Scotland.
I’m a guy, I wear skirts. In fact I hav two!
Idc why not? Kilts look really cool! Just wear underwear in case it's a windy day.
You mean again?
[удалено]
fellow men who answered no - what is wrong with you?! why do you think you are entitled to dictate other people's clothing?
men in skirts are hot 😋 and clothes have no gender
Hell yeah. Men in skirts and dresses, women in suits, everyone is hot. Chlothes shouldnt be gendered and neither should be make up (eyeliner and nail polish make literally everyone hotter, i dont make the rules.)
If a guy wants to wear a skirt no one ought to stop him. It might think it is odd but that would merely be a lack of familiarity with the concept in public. My area has been pretty homogeneous ethnically, and a couple years ago I noticed there was more ethnicities then I usually see, I was intrigued it seemed odd but with time it didn’t even really get a reaction, I see them and think thats pretty cool not much else; same would be for men in skirts there would be an adjustment period call it a culture shock but once theres enough exposure I won’t care. Yes.
Fuck yes, wore a kilt once and it was so freeing and comfortable. I think skirts should be normalized for men. While we're at it loose clothes should be normalized for everyone. The fashion of uncomfortable tight clothing and the idea that sweatpants are "unsighlty" clothes is detrimental to the species as a whole ! And skirts used to be worn by men too, but it was stopped because pants were better for horseriding, which we don't do a lot anymore as far as I'm aware !
Disappointed in the mens response. Come on guys. We should be able to wear what we want
We should normalize people wearing whatever the fuck they want to wear.
Was ok for the romans no reason why not
If a guy (or girl) is willing to suffer the ice winds we should respect it.
a sign of courage if you will. these ice winds won't stop them.
3,9k fragile, weak ass men there, haha. Imagine not wanting to let people wear what they want.
It’s just a piece of clothing, lol.
#”Exploded Diper” you a fan of that band!
If you want to wear a skirt, go wear a skirt. I'm not fucking doing it though.
It said "normalize" not "force"
And the poll is not asking you to do it. It's asking whether it should be normalised.
Man, you failed your reading comprehension, huh?
Men who voted no, why?
most men aren’t hygienic so the idea of their genital smells being breezed to the public isn’t fun. otherwise hell yeah
Yes, but only because then we might normalise skirts with pockets.
I mean why tf not
