Men in skirts : Othor Games

» Thu May 06, 2010 7:28 pm

No. A pillow was intended to sleep on, using it for something else is not weird. People find new purposes for things all the time. Nothing is built/made for specifically one thing, if it can be applied to something else.

I also assume, of course, that no woman should ever wear pants. Ever. Also, nobody should ever bathe, because that was the societal norm somewhere at one time.

Ah, but there are pants designed for women. Now, a skirt designed for men (A kilt I guess) is a different story. It was made for men.

Spoiler

Ah, but that purpose is seperate from sleeping. Like I said, if you wanted to attack someone with a skirt, go ahead. Would make an interesting news story. But skirts, for wearing, were designed for women. Thus, only women should wear them.

I say just make yourself a long tunic that reaches a little below the knees. It would look cooler anyway.

err actually the sarong skirt is meant as a mens skirt AND a self defence weapon, ment to be wrapped around both arms and used to catch weapons/limbs

Dang.. I wish I could go back to high school. I would be so ridiculously appalling. I would wear a skirt one day. Then next day wear makeup. Etc. Things like that. Just for the hell of it.

Computers were never designed for gaming, we shouldnt use them for it.
Pants werent designed for women.

Things change, thats life. Your arguments are making little sense at this point pants designed for both genders, yet skirsts are not...
And pillows were designed for sleeping, thus only used for sleeping.

all glory to the comfy skirt, wondering if i should go with just a plain black shirt + c-crown fedora with it, or wear it with one of my nice button up shirts

No time, I already feel hysterical.

[edit] A fedora makes any get-up look better.

Dammit man! You're going to get us all killed!

Well hell, since we are just arguing every little thing, I might as well run outside naked shooting my shotgun and screaming profanities. It's my right and I can do whatever I want.

Googled "skirts for men" and found lots of fun takes.

I'm sorry, I just find it so hilarious that a thread about masculinity is being viewed by a Fredreich Nietsche.

Pants were designed for men, therefore women shouldn't wear them.

Soccer was designed for men, therefore only men should be allowed to play.

Vice versa for netball.

Voting was original intended to be male-only (and was for many years).

Your logical fails abysmally.

I know right, damn the man, always trying to hold people back.

I've pretty much stopped caring.

No one has said that. The closest some people have said is "do whatever you want so long as it does not harm anyone else." A man wearing a skirt does not harm anyone enough as to impede upon that man's right to express himself. A man running around firing a shotgun into the air is an entirely different thing.

Skirts have been worn by both men and women many times through history. The only real difference between them is the name, depending on which country is being talked about. The only difference with pants "designed for women" is a slightly different shape to accommodate a different body shape. If it were unacceptable for one gender to do something attributed to the other, the proper thing would have been to just always forbid them from wearing it, not make a more comfortable version. There's no real difference between skirts because all you're really doing is wrapping it around yourself, no real "fitting" necessary. It's a unisix object, like, say, a coat. If it's cold, anyone might wear a coat. There's no reasonable design argument against skirts, which itself is a bad argument because there are very few things people don't use outside their intended design if it's convenient. The only issue here is insecurity.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

But I ain't hurting anyone by shooting in the air. People in Mexico do it all the time during new years I think. Anyway. Bye bye thread.

Uh huh. What goes up generally comes back down. That includes buckshot.

We only need look to the Mythbusters to know that falling bullets can kill people. God I love that show...
