Shockadelic,

Right. I didn't connect the 'murder' idea with the bed-wetters' bleating about certain people topping themselves if we don't handle them with kid gloves. Good to see that you can laugh at the idea. Thanks for sticking to the topic and answering my question.

CE,

Yes. I do have a brain, and I can spell! You still cannot express yourself, and you are quite clearly not worth worrying about. You are an immature brat who should be working or at school rather than trying to joust with older, more experienced people. You are a joke, sonny.

I note that the other new-comer troll, meme..... is unable to explain his weird statements, either. Hope we are not going to be invaded by toddlers.

Once you define the left you define the right: ttbn can't accept logic and he expects me to believe he's mature!

//boys don't wear dresses to school for the same reason clowns don't wear tutus and ballerinas don't wear big floppy shoes.
It's the wrong uniform.//

But sometimes they wear skirts. And not just if they attend Scots College.

Having worn both kilt and trews, I can assure you all that non-bifurcated leg garments are both comfortable and practical. Trousers are useful inventions if you ride horses a lot, but I think for everyday wear, skirts have a great deal to recommend them. Especially in the summer. Better ventilation, and nobody likes sweaty balls.

The downside, of course, is that if a bloke wears a skirt everybody assumes he's bent, which can get tiresome.

Dear Tony,

«The downside, of course, is that if a bloke wears a skirt everybody assumes he's bent, which can get tiresome»

Anyone who says so is himself bent: How can they say so when God's incarnation Himself, Shri Krishna, exchanged clothes with His beloved Radha?

In many places men wear loose fitting garments
as naturally as pants. Yukata are still popular
in Japan, dhoti and lungi are popular in South
India, kilts will never go out of fashion in
Scotland. Ancient Greeks and Romans had their
loose fitting robes and togas. Traditional robes
are everyday dress for men in Arab countries -
where men still wear flowing garments. Egyptians
have wrap around linen skirts. Then you have
the men in Fiji, Indonesia, and other tropical
places where sarongs and loose fitting fabrics
are the norm. Kaftans are also popular.

Comfort not gender dictates clothing choices in some
cultures. I wonder what the men in our tropics (up North)
wear.
Surely not suits to work?
