These men, even fats ones, who only swear by skirts.




All men who shared the daily life of a woman or not admit that when they see the size of their wardrobe at home, or the large place of departments dedicated in the shops, guys say that  girls really have more choices for clothes. So to counteract this immoderation , some have posed the problem in reverse, to how to remove a sweater: as they have the right to wear trousers, why men couldn't wear skirts ?



Which can lead to laughter, however, remains very serious. Like the Scottish defenders of their tartan pleated skirt. Remember last March 4th, Critic@ was placed on the same page the case of the Scots who wanted to get the appellation of origin of their kilt. Indeed, thanks to the recognition of the AOC by the European Union for six years, they could protect themselves from possible counterfeits. Well this time, it's just the same thing, although it is to conduct a whole new crusade, in the  French way..



Three years ago, a guy called Jérôme Salomé has launched headlong into the fight androgenic and androgynous by creating the website www.i-hej.com, which means information for men in skirts, not to be confused with the Institute Studies of justice, while the men wear dresses right at their hearings. at 32, the real estate agent well shack is still in the fight pro-skirt in France. He even created an association, currently chaired by Dominique Moreau. And since the elite of this country can make and break modes, following the maxim that proclaims: "I think, therefore you follow", he does not hesitate to extol the merits of parity: "It is logical that in a country that claims a democratic tradition, the man wants to have its full body, modeled on the women's liberation and egalitarian order."

A great sense of openness, at the front



 Of course, the initiators of this clothes momentum play on the symbolism. But not only. According to Jerome, the comfort factor is not negligible. He supports his thesis: "The skirts are better suited to men than trousers, which tighten  the genitals." What is not wrong, all men normally formed would agree . Himself the father of a little girl, he said that a guy who wants to wear  a skirt, it does not mean he is gay. Ask also the pillars of rugby Highland or Scottish competitors what they think about it : either you run faster than them,or  you will remember the answer for long .



But do not let us depart from the part above. The purpose of the maneuver is not to look like a girl. For this, the skirt must imperatively be masculine. That's why, could not find some to his taste, Jerome had to start sewing. "To have practical skirts with pockets, and an opening at the front, it was necessary for me to make them !" What gets to some historical phenomena also seen in Rome, Asia and Polynesia, where dresses , skirts, tunics and other small tunics "were the preserve of an elite of society" as stated on the site. All this of course was long before the industrialization era that created a more practical everydaylife . But nostalgia is like sunburn: it doesn't hurt while doing,it hurts in the evening ... then stop whining and let the past.



Yet today, several American sites, Swiss, German or English are back to sell male models, not for carnivals or walking in a costume party. Although it is very popular in some circles, the rates remain high, and habits are not ready to be changed. Above all another vector is taken into account: depilation. That will be a topic later. If you're ok for it.
