They'd be great to wear in the Summer.

They should all wander in with knickers and bows..give whatever teacher thought this up a thrill.

Mind you.....


Me and 3 mates did do highland dancing in P7, in the hope of a chance of a snog with Gillian, Jackie, nicola or tracey on the bus that would have went to the Scottish school highland dancing championships, if we had been good enough.


We didnt make it due to Gillian, Jackie, Nicola and Tracey allowing a little bit more than a snog during practice evenings.

Don't loads of men in Scotland wear skirts anyway?

[rusticgal]

I understand a stance in Spain in support of someone who was expelled for wearing a skirt….but is this really necessary?

Anyone who finds a problem with this is weird. Anyone that has any problem with what other people/strangers wear is weird.

Men have been wearing skirts for thousands of years (including your fellow Scots). What’s the problem?

Not a crime to be weird.

Anybody who has a problem with people being weird is?

Can’t you express an opinion without calling people weird for not having the same opinion as you?….

No! Some wear Kilts, not School skirts.

The skirt isn't the problem, it's the social engineering behind it that some people see as the problem.

They should be able to wear whatever they want so long as it falls within uniform policy. That’s how it is in most schools now surely - girls are allowed to wear trousers, no one is forced to wear a skirt. On that note, yes boys should be ALLOWED to wear a skirt if they want and it’s part of the uniform (for either).

Well from the picture and story, they are allowed to wear it. I don't think anyone has said they shouldn't be allowed. But as Parmy says, the teacher has just made this up. What if some teacher's don't want to draw the line at just seeing young boys in traditional schoolgirl skirts, what if they want to push it even more?

The only social engineering that’s happened is coding certain items of clothing as for boys or for girls

The proof will be in the future, when the masculine Russian men invade. Thankfully, for the time being, your ideas are still in a very, very small minority, but they are growing.

GIrls having one bit of fabric that goes round the middle and boys having two long tubes of fabric that go down each leg is 100% social conditioning though. It's completely devoid of meaning other than the meaning applied to it by the observer and their societal norms. That's pretty much the definition of social engineering. "But that social engineering happened centuries ago!" doesn't really have any bearing on it either; there's nothing that makes "old" societal norms inherently better than "new" ones.

Modern war is fought and won with technology and money Alf, if anything if we want to win wars, we want a country full of programming and robotics geeks who are really good at flight simulators.

Big Manly Russian Men don't tend to fare particularly well against drones that can turn them into red mist before they've even heard it coming.

People should be able to wear what they like no? I mean that’s kinda how the world works. What is it about this that doesn’t sit right with you? Why is it wrong?

[LeatherTrumpet]

same applies to make-up and jewelry

follow the rules and learn
