I am not saying it’s wrong for boys to wear skirts…everyone should be able to dress as they please. Stop trying to twist my words…the fact is many boys would find it embarrassing ….

Because to many boys, “being girly” is shameful and embarrassing. That’s something that needs to be confronted. I’m not saying this is necessarily the best way to do that, but at some point society needs to tackle the massive problem of boys (and men) finding the very thought of being likened to a female “embarrassing”.
