Skirts for Men


Freedom! Liberation! Equality! Sensibleness!

Campaign to abolish gender clothing-apartheid!

The rule that said that men should not wear skirts has got to be one of the daftest around, (see Misconceptions), made even more absurd now that its equivalent rule that women should not wear trousers has been quite sensibly abolished.

Obviously, rules telling you what you can't wear are bizarre oppression. Make that gender-discriminatory and you're talking serious gender apartheid. But add to that a curious asymmetry, making some people arbitrary second-class citizens, and the logical conclusion is that this is some kind of a joke rather than reality.

An early example of someone breaking the rules was Emma Snodgrass, who in Boston on 29th December 1852 was arrested for wearing trousers. Now let's see if the world is advancing, and losing its silly rules.

Zyra.org.uk is pro-freedom generally, and not just for any specific issue. Of a great range of freedom issues there are a subset of items where there is a matter of equality. In any equality (eg. gender equality) issue there is an implicit mathematical fact that you can't have A=B without B=A. The range of problems being nobbled is being continuously expanded, so watch this space!

Thanks to those who have contributed a great many extra links to this page! There seems to be a lot of interest in this!
