Guys, do yourself a favor and get a kilt. You will never want to go back. I stopped wearing pants years ago.

Nah get a mini skirt and thigh highs to assert dominance over the other girls.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I just lookup some Rust programming tutorials will the mini skirts and thigh highs come naturally?

Give us kilt novices tips! Where to start, where to buy, what to buy, shave? Commando? High socks?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can find relatively cheap ones online. Damn near kilt em is one I can vouch for as a good first kilt. Or stillwater kilts for something cheap and more traditional looking.

The number one thing to know when buying is that you need to actually measure yourself. Pants lie, kiltmakers generally don't.

If you want something a little nicer, there are plenty of businesses that make kilts to measure. My last few came from alpha kilts, but I think they quit. Alt.kilt does crazy custom stuff. Utilikilt is probably the most famous one, though I've never actually tried theirs.

There's whole communities online for this stuff. I used to get reviews and find new stores on xmarksthescot.

If you get a contemporary kilt, meaning pockets and modern style, you just need a belt. If you go traditional tartan you probably need a sporran or some other kind of bag or pouch since they don’t have pockets. Traditional kilts also typically use a kilt pin to add weight to the front apron to keep it from blowing around too easily.

Tall socks are good formal wear or cold weather. I am a very casual guy and an arctic creature, so I usually just wear closed toe sandals. But if you live in a cold place and need to stay warm, a full size "9 yard" kilt will do the trick, it creates a pocket of warm air, and the legs being together gives it a mitten effect.

You can go commando (aka going regimental, because in highland regiments underwear is considered out of uniform), but I don't recommend it. For one thing, you don't know fear until you've been caught in a gust of 50 mph wind while walking past a school playground on a day that you decided to save time by forgoing underwear, and now you are desperately holding down all sides of a lightweight kilt and trying not to end up on sex offender registry. But on a much more mundane level, it's also just a lot easier to keep your kilt clean when it isn't directly touching your junk or your crack. I wear briefs but I go up a couple sizes, so that the elastic still holds them up but they hang off me when I'm standing, which feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.

Of course, if anyone asks what's worn under the kilt, you have lots of options:

  • Nothing's worn, it's all in excellent condition.
  • If you want to find out it will cost you dinner and a movie first.
  • Shoes
  • On a good day, lipstick

I wear a kilt every single day. I love them. I don't even own pants anymore. I'm almost 50 and my "give a fuck what other people think"is used up.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck pants, tunics and kilts rule.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What are fuck pants? If they rule as much as kilts and tunics I want some.

Ah yes because butches and the like are famously accepted by their family and peers and never subjected to sexual harassment that tries to "fix" them

[–] [email protected] 76 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Everyone has different experiences, but this post pretty much perfectly shows how people act where i live. There arent really any types of clothes that women aren't "supposed" to wear, but men get a lot of weird looks if they wear skirts, frills or anything not seen as "masculine"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My husband pointed out that certain items like sneakers, backpacks and scrubs are either unisex or women's. Many other items are that way, too. A men's watch might be large on a woman's wrist but no-one would really think twice. A tiny pink watch on a man's wrist would likely garner more attention (depending on where you are in the western world, of course)

I don't know about butches but women wearing male clothing is just an everyday thing where I live. So much so that a lot of male clothes are just unisex clothes. Not so for women's clothing

... That's not what the meme is about. The meme is about being aggressively in your face about your fashion choice lol.

Give it time. At this rate, we're heading directly back to the days of "women ~~don't~~ can't wear pants".

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I stand by my belief that society got gendered clothing wrong. Anatomically speaking, men are better suited for skirts and women pants.

The social construct that a certain way of dressing is "masculine" or "feminine" is stupid.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The secret ingredient is 🌈⭐ misogyny⭐🌈

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A lot of rock stars dress very feminine and have great success with that style. Glam rock? Another guy dressing feminine but having success with it is ziggy stardust.

Also a lot of recent rap artists that are popular with female fans dress feminine

the above image is lil uzi vert the image below is a hardcore gangster rap star called young thug Youngthug cultivates a hypermasculine image but dresses like this

this guy is a straight guy who raps and is alleged to have beein involved in homicides and part of a gang of hardened criminals. just he also has a unique sense of fashion.

there is also gay rappers like lil nas x but i omit him here as I show how far what is acceptable has come.

Hiphop is embracing feminine fashion

Not gonna lie the comedic value of seeing hardcore gangster rappers dressing in miniskirts does not elude me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

*Elude, to allude is to call attention to something indirectly. Like hinting.

Not being a dick. Had to learn this as well.

When I kilted more often, my primary response was that women loved it. And I liked the attention from women.

It's true. Makes a fella feel good. I wear a kilt every day. Any trip outside our little town...compliments from women. Something most men never recieve.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And you should see the way people lose all sense when it happens. Society is wild.

Do people really get upset about this kind of thing?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago

Depends on where you live. In my experience, yes

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the last panel meant to represent people rushing in anger to hate on femboys or people rushing in horniness to see femboys? Because if the latter then I'd agree as I'd fall in that bucket.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Maybe they're angry they're turned on by femboys? Most probably.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Not even gay but I'll be damned if I'm separated from my short shorts.

I destroy my muscles for more than one reason, I'll enjoy the fruits of my labor thank you very much lol.
