100 Men Put On Skirts/Tutus In NY To Protest Pants

<snip>

ABOUT 100 men in minis, midis and even tutus took to the streets of Manhattan to call for an end to the tyranny of trousers.

"We're not transvestites, homosexuals or cross-dressers," retired teacher David Johnson told the New York Times.

"We don't want you to call us Jean or Sally. We're men. Men who want the right to wear a skirt."

Ingemar Johnsson, 39, joined the march from Sweden and said men in Europe wore skirts and pantaloons until the time of the French Revolution, when pants became the expected attire.

3. I could really dig wearing a skirt

...or something like a kilt. I watched a group of Scottish Men once in a park parading with bagpipes and thought "Man, that looks pretty cool"
The idea could gain strength but we (Men) would have to get some mighty large guys to start the trend....ones big enough to ask other men "How do you like my skirt"
"Ah...um..It's extremely dashing and Manly sir!"

4. In The US

I might want to consider carrying around a Bagpipe under my arm.

I can also insulate it and fill it with my favorite beverage too in the spirit of good old American Yankee Ingenuity.
