    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I have to wear dresses on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s.

I disagree. Incredibly uncomfortable.

And I hate the sexual appropriation. Especially coerced.

I have dresses and skirts but rarely wear them because they don't feel comfy for me at all. I have to pay extra attention to how I sit and walk and that adds extra stress to my day for me. I do like to wear something loose when I'm home, though, and wish I could wear that outside more often because it's much more comfy than tight, neat clothes.

I personally strongly prefer pants but I support those who don't want to wear them (as long as they're wearing a dress or something in public). At home though, you do you, whatever.

Swedish transit strikers and everyone else.

Sometimes I feel like going full on kilt, but those things are quite thick, all things considered. Might help to aerate the crown jewels, but I'm not too sure if the overall experience wouldn't still be on the warm side.

You could just as easily have a plaid skirt and the people that would give you shit for wearing a skirt wouldn't know the difference.

I guess the closest we got are priestly robes and kilts then.

I would miss my pockets though. Can I just wear basketball shorts everywhere?

Guys generally wear skirts or kilts in protest. We had a guy at work (US) wear his kilt a lot in the summer, as intended btw, as a protest for allowing shorts in a workplace that doesn't face customers. He got reprimanded exactly once. He is Scottish in ancestry and the kilt was real, although he also had one that looked like cargo pants too with pockets all over it.

There was a summer long ago I regularly wore a Sari going to the bar. Do it for work would be a bit of a stretch.
