Men in skirts? Why not?
I’ve often thought that, especially in this weather, a skirt would be rather comfortable.
Anyone know where I might be able to buy a nice manly skirt?
I’ve always said that in the future men will wear skirts (dresses) as much as women. I’m still trying to explain myself why during all these centuries men didn’t dare to wear a skirt (respect goes to Scotland men)?
Wearing skirts has so many advantages – it’s comfortable, it makes your skin breathe, it gives you more freedom when you move… What is so wrong with that? Man have ugly legs? So what? There are lots of women with ugly legs too and they are allowed to wear skirts. Men have something women don’t (you know what I’m talking ’bout)? So what? It’s even more on show when they wear skinny jeans or any other tight kind of trousers – if you want to stare you stare!
Just don’t tell me that there must be something to make women and men different! As if you can’t distinguish a woman from…

I have never worn a kilt but they seem to be made of rather heavy material and unlikely to be comfortable in hot weather.

Something like this looks rather fetching:

It’s in the style of a kilt but made of cotton rather than wool (the traditional kilt material), so might be nice and, er, airy.

In all seriousness, what of the question of which toilet or changing room someone goes to – should this be determined by what clothes someone wears or by body anatomy?

We have gender neutral toilets here at Sussex, actually. These are not uncommon on the continent.
You may also have noticed that elsewhere in the UK, e.g. in Paddington Station, there are toilets that can even accommodate Daleks:

I must say it has struck me for decades that public toilets should consist of a room of pissoirs for the exclusive use of those with willies who wish only to micturate, and a separate room accessible to all giving access to individual cubicles each containing a sitdown toilet and a sink.

Phillip,
Unisex toilets and changing rooms can be constructed having individual cubicles, but the logical corollary of all this is unisex sports teams which strikes me as unfair to women.
July 21, 2015 at 10:16 am
So men and women emerge from a unisex changing room and then separate into different sports teams? That is simply inconsistent.
July 21, 2015 at 11:21 am
Yes, you have seen the point. A line has to be drawn somewhere. Blithely asserting that where you think it should be drawn is “valid” is not a constructive way to engage.

And that is the point. If you acknowledge LGBTQP (and more), why should sport be subdivided into just two, referred to as men and women? Does consistency not demand either unisex teams or multiple teams, one for each category; and if not, why not?
July 21, 2015 at 3:43 pm
I mean no discourtesy but I think you have ducked my question.
July 22, 2015 at 8:13 am
So you accept the categories of men and women and regard LGBTQP etc as subcategories based on dress and sexual preference?
July 22, 2015 at 10:38 pm
Let me be explicit that I do not believe in treating people nastily, and I agree that sexual preference should not matter to sporting categories at the least. But if male and female are not exhaustive categories, as you affirm, then sport should either take account of those other categories so as not to discriminate against them, or go unisex – should it not?

I never really understood why there are separate Bridge competitions for men and women…
July 23, 2015 at 8:56 am
That was done for the sake of marital harmony, Peter. People have shot their bridge partners for lousing up…

There are mixed pairs, but it is forbidden for husband & wife combinations to be partners at bridge. If that were allowed, the divorce rate would rocket.
