The solution to your problem is hanging on the wall behind you. Carry any of those around and no one will give a damn about the skirt.

LOL

If you've ever been in a pillow fight, for example, by your definition you're a weirdo because pillows weren't made to be used like that.

Not the best example, now if you used a brick, or a cardboard box in a pillow fight then things would get weird.

~~How much skirt are we talking here OP, like standard kilt length or half way down the calf.~~ Anything above mid thigh is automatically a no.

That thing doesn't even look girly at all if you ask me... It looks almost like a kilt. Like a not-ridiculous-looking kilt. :shrug:

This.

I sure as hell wouldn't wear a skirt in public.

This.

Im not feelin the skirts myself. But, people always make fun of my wardrobe. *shrug*

If you feel uncomfortable wearing it in public, know that I'd be down to wear one in public with you if that were to make you feel comfortable enough to wear one yourself.

Actually it is a good example, because his argument was that skirts weren't made to be worn by men and thus a man wearing a skirt is a weirdo. By applying the same logic, pillows weren't made to be fought with and thus someone fighting with a pillow is a weirdo.

It's a perfect anology. :shrug:

well im just going to go with it for a bit and see what happens, ill let you guys know in a bit =P

aaactually skirts were made to fit men, think about it, we have extra dangly bits, and pants are quite restricting to them, as well it was only until warrior societies started wearing heavy armor that they abandoned the skirt, kind of hard to move in a full set of plate and a skirt =P

Go back and look at my response. And they are called pillow fights for a reason. If you wanted to have a skirt fight, go ahead, but if a skirt is gonna be worn, it goes only on women.

Next week:
"Oh hi guysh I jusht wanted to let y'all know that shomeone broke my teesh, otherwishe it wash great!"

edit:

Yes, they are. That, however, doesn't change the fact that pillows weren't made with that purpose in mind.

Well....used to, you just work a long tunic, some underpants (maybe), and some sandals. Then we invented pants, and they just took over.

eh well dosent change the fact that im going for it anyways =p im secure enough in my own masculinity to wear something that's normally classed as girly

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.

Yes, precisely my point.

anologically, skirts not being made with the intention of being worn by men does not make a man wearing one a weirdo.

Dont go commando in a skirt.

Dont go commando in a skirt.

But you['re supposed to in a kilt.

too late baby, unties defeats the whole point :hehe:

Just remember, when that random person that looked at you like your an idiot for wearing a skirt turns out to be the same person you are trying to get an interview with.... well, don't be mad if they turn you down.

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 pillows can be legitimately used for multiple purposes. Sleeping, forts, and clubs. A skirt can only be worn, on women.

Unless you use it for, like, a bandage or something. But in that case any piece of cloth would work provided it's thick enough and can be tightened enough.

Wait, wait... so... a pillow, which has the thought-out / intended design to be used as a means of propping up one's body during roughly 8 hours of any given day, can have multiple, unintended uses, but as soon as we pick some other object that has any smack of gender to it, it suddenly can't have multiple uses / must be regulated to one gender because if someone of the wrong gender uses it, it means they're not [masculine/feminine] enough anymore! Oh noes! The humanity of it all!

... and what about the dhoti?

The solution to your problem is hanging on the wall behind you. Carry any of those around and no one will give a damn about the skirt.

I wholeheartedly agree. Wear that axe on your back and people probably won't stare for too long.

I've always thought that a non conformist conformed to the idea of the non conformed. Well that's just me. Yep, your answers are on that wall there.
