Men's skirts
Men's skirts
Outside of Western cultures, men's clothing commonly includes skirts and skirt-like garments; however, in North America and much of Europe, the wearing of a skirt is today usually seen as typical for women and girls and not men and boys, the most notable exceptions being the cassock and the kilt. People have variously attempted to promote the wearing of skirts by men in Western culture and to do away with this gender distinction, albeit with limited general success and considerable cultural resistance.

Both the Anglo-Saxons and Normans wore skirted garments, as can be seen in the Bayeux Tapestry. These fashions continued well into the Middle Ages.
Decline
From the early Victorian period, there was a decline in the wearing of bright colours and luxurious fabrics by men, with a definite preference for sobriety of dress.[3][4][5] By the mid-20th century, orthodox Western male dress, especially business and semi-formal dress, was dominated by sober suits, plain shirts and ties.Revival
In the 1960s, there was widespread reaction against the accepted North American and European conventions of male and female dress. This unisex fashion movement aimed to eliminate the sartorial differences between men and women. In practice, it usually meant that women would wear male dress, i.e., shirts and trousers. Men rarely went as far in the adoption of traditionally female dress modes. The furthest that most men went in the 1960s in this regard were velvet trousers, flowered or frilled shirts and ties, and long hair.[3]In the 1970s, David Hall, a former research engineer at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), actively promoted the use of skirts for men, appearing on both The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and the Phil Donahue Show. In addition, he was featured in many articles at the time.[6] In his essay "Skirts for Men: the advantages and disadvantages of various forms of bodily covering", he opined that men should wear skirts for both symbolic and practical reasons. Symbolically, wearing skirts would allow men to take on desirable female characteristics. In practical terms, skirts, he suggested, do not chafe around the groin, and they are more suited to warm climates.
In the 1980s, a few male celebrities dressed in skirts, and fashion designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Giorgio Armani, John Galliano, Kenzo, Rei Kawakubo, Marc Jacobs and Yohji Yamamoto tried to promote the idea of men wearing skirts, but the wearing of skirts by men remained firmly linked with ideas of effeminacy. Lead singer of Korn, Jonathan Davis, has been known to wear kilts at live shows and in music videos throughout his career of 18 years with that band. Guns N' Roses' singer, Axl Rose, was known to wear men's skirts during the Use Your Illusion period.
In 2008 in France, an association was created to help spur the revival of the skirt for men.[7] Hot weather has also encouraged use. In June 2013, Swedish train drivers won the right to wear skirts in the summer when their cabins can reach 35 °C (95 °F),[8] whilst in July 2013, parents supported boys wearing skirts at Gowerton Comprehensive School in Wales.[9]
Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition
In 2003, the Metropolitan Museum of Art displayed an exhibition, organized by Andrew Bolton and Harold Koda of the Museum's Costume Institute and sponsored by Gaultier, entitled Bravehearts: Men in Skirts.[10] The idea of the exhibition was to explore how various groups and individuals (from hippies through pop stars to fashion designers) have promoted the idea of men wearing skirts as "the future of menswear". It displayed men's skirts on mannequins, as if in the window of a department store, in several historical and cross-cultural contexts.[11]The exhibition display pointed out the lack of a "natural link" between an item of clothing and the masculinity or femininity of the wearer, mentioning the kilt as "one of the most potent, versatile, and enduring skirt forms often looked upon by fashion designers as a symbol of a natural, uninhibited, masculinity". It pointed out that fashion designers and male skirt-wearers employ the wearing of skirts for three purposes: to transgress conventional moral and social codes, to redefine the ideal of masculinity, and to inject novelty into male fashion. It linked the wearing of men's skirts to youth movements and countercultural movements such as punk, grunge, and glam rock and to pop-music icons such as Boy George, Miyavi and Adrian Young.[11] Many male musicians have worn skirts and kilts both on and off stage. The wearing of skirts by men is also found in the goth subculture.
Elizabeth Ellsworth, a professor of media studies,[12] eavesdropped on several visitors to the exhibition, noting that because of the exhibition's placement in a self-contained space accessed by a staircase at the far end of the museum's first floor, the visitors were primarily self-selected as those who would be intrigued enough by such an idea in the first place to actually seek it out. According to her report, the reactions were wide-ranging, from the number of women who teased their male companions about whether they would ever consider wearing skirts (to which several men responded that they would) to the man who said, "A caftan after a shower or in the gym? Can you imagine? 'Excuse me! Coming through!'". An adolescent girl rejected in disgust the notion that skirts were similar to the wide pants worn by hip-hop artists. Two elderly women called the idea "utterly ridiculous". One man, reading the exhibition's presentation on the subject of male skirt-wearing in cultures other than those in North America and Europe, observed, "God! Three quarters of the world's population [wear skirts]!"[11]
The exhibition itself attempted to provoke visitors into considering how, historically, male-dress codes have come to this point and whether in fact a trend towards the wearing of skirts by men in the future actually exists. It attempted to raise challenging questions of how a simple item of dress connotes (in Ellsworth's words) "huge ramifications in meanings, behaviours, everyday life, senses of self and others, and configurations of insider and outsider".[11]
Contemporary styles
The wearing of skirts, kilts, or similar garments on an everyday basis by men in Western cultures is an extremely small minority.[citation needed] One manufacturer of contemporary kilt styles claims to sell over 12,000 such garments annually,[13] resulting in over $2 million annually worth of sales, and has appeared at a major fashion show.[14] According to a CNN correspondent: "At Seattle's Fremont Market, men are often seen sporting the Utilikilt." [15] In 2003, US News said that "... the Seattle-made utilikilt, a rugged, everyday riff on traditional Scottish garb, has leapt from idea to over 10,000 sold in just three years, via the Web and word of mouth alone."[16] "They've become a common sight around Seattle, especially in funkier neighbourhoods and at the city's many alternative cultural events. They often are worn with chunky black boots," writes AP reporter Anne Kim.[17] "I actually see more people wearing kilts in Seattle than I did when I lived in Scotland," one purchaser remarked in 2003.[18]In addition, since the mid-1990s, a number of clothing companies have been established to sell skirts specifically designed for men. These include Macabi Skirt in the 1990s, Menintime in 1999 and Midas Clothing in 2002.[19]
In 2010, the fashion chain H&M featured skirts for men in its lookbook.[20]
Wicca and neo-paganism
In Wicca and neopaganism, especially in the United States, men (just as women) are encouraged to question their traditional gender roles. Amongst other things, this involves the wearing of robes at festivals and sabbat celebrations as ritual clothing (which Eilers equates to the "church clothes" worn by Christians on Sundays).[21][22] Some denominations (called 'traditions') of Wicca even encourage their members to include robes, tunics, cloaks, and other such garments in their day-to-day wardrobes.In non-Western cultures
Outside of Western cultures, male clothing includes skirts and skirt-like garments.[23] One common form is a single sheet of fabric folded and wrapped around the waist, such as the dhoti/veshti or lungi in India, and sarong in South and Southeast Asia, and Sri Lanka. There are different varieties and names of sarong depending on whether the ends are sewn together or simply tied. There is a difference in the way a dhoti and lungi is worn. While a lungi is more like a wrap around, wearing the dhoti involves the creation of pleats by folding it. A dhoti also passes between the legs making it more like a folded loose trouser rather than a skirt. In Sub-Saharan Africa, sarong-like garments sometimes worn by men are known as kanga (or khanga), kitenge (or chitenje), kikoy, and lappa.[24] In Madagascar they are known as lamba.The Samoan Lavalava is a wraparound "skirt". These are worn by men, women and children. The women's lavalava pattern usually have either traditional symbols and/or a flower (frangipani) pattern. The men's lavalava have only traditional symbols.
In Sikhism, a faith that originated in the Punjab, there is a traditional dress which is worn by both men and women, called a 'baana' or 'chola'. This dress has a skirted bottom and is worn over long white undershorts. It was traditionally worn in battle by Sikh warriors as it allowed free movement and remains a part of the traditional Sikh dress and identity.
Some long robes also resemble a skirt or dress, including the Middle Eastern and North African caftan and djellaba.
Other similar garments worn by men around the world include the Greek and Balkan fustanella (a short flared cotton skirt), the Pacific lava-lava (similar to a sarong), the Fijian sulu vakataga,[25] some forms of Japanese hakama and the Bhutanese gho.
Skirts that are called qun(裙) or chang(裳) in Chinese were also worn by Chinese men in ancient times.
In popular culture
One notable example of men wearing skirts in fiction is in early episodes of the science fiction TV program Star Trek: The Next Generation. The uniforms worn in the first and second season included a variant consisting of a short sleeved top, with attached skirt. This variant was seen worn by both male and female crew members. The book The Art of Star Trek explained that "the skirt design for men 'skant' was a logical development, given the total equality of the sexes presumed to exist in the 24th century."[26] However, perhaps reflecting the expectations of the audience, the "skant" was dropped by the third season of the show.Dance
In some Western dance cultures, men commonly wear skirts and kilts. These include a broad range of professional dance productions where they may be worn to improve the artistic effect of the choreography,[27] a style known as contra dance, where they are worn partly for ventilation and partly for the swirling movement, gay line dancing clubs where kilts are often worn,[28] and revellers in Scottish nightclubs where they are worn for ventilation and to express cultural identity.Victor Ebubechukwu: VIVA NAIJA!

Kristen Stewart Wears An Item Of Clothing That Defies Description
Kristen Stewart Wears An Item Of Clothing That Defies Description
It’s an interesting look, to say the least.
Over the past few years, Kristen Stewart has morphed into a daring fashion darling. Her recent look at the Chanel Haute Couture show on Tuesday was no exception.
At
the show, the actress modeled a look that nearly defies description ―
but we’ll try. She wore a strapless, sequined jumpsuit that cut off at
the kneecaps, paired with black Christian Louboutin heels.
It’s quite the outfit:
Just another Tuesday look for KStew.
Later on in the night, Stewart again turned heads at a launch party for Chanel’s new perfume, called “Gabrielle.”
She wore a short, sequined minidress with long sleeves and yet another pair of Louboutin heels. Stewart’s blonde buzzcut, which she chopped back in March, paired perfectly with her smoky eyes.
The actress looked every inch the model herself:
Stunning.

The actress attended the show alongside her rumored girlfriend, Victoria’s Secret Angel Stella Maxwell. Earlier in the day, Maxwell walked in Ulyana Sergeenko’s haute couture show for Fall/Winter 2017-2018.
Maxwell went rocker chic for the launch party.

This DOJ Letter May Be More Alarming Than Trump Commission’s Request For Voter Data
This DOJ Letter May Be More Alarming Than Trump Commission’s Request For Voter Data
“I really worry that at the end of the day there’s gonna be a lot of noise about this Kobach-Pence commission and people will miss the enforcement efforts of DOJ.”
Former
Department of Justice officials and voting advocates are seriously
alarmed over a DOJ letter sent to states last week that they say could
signal a forthcoming effort to kick people off voter rolls. This comes
as national attention focuses on several states blocking a request for voter information from President Donald Trump’s commission to investigate voting fraud, which does occur, but is not a widespread problem.
The DOJ sent the letter to 44 states last Wednesday, the same day the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity sent a letter controversially requesting personal voter information.
The DOJ letter requests that election officials respond by detailing
their compliance with a section of the National Voter Registration Act
of 1993 (NVRA), which covers 44 states and was enacted to help people register to vote, but also specifies when voters may be kicked off the rolls.
Several
experts said it’s difficult not to see the DOJ letter in connection
with the commission’s letter as part of a multipronged effort to
restrict voting rights.
Former
Justice Department officials say that while there’s nothing notable
about seeking information about compliance with the NVRA, it is unusual
for the department to send out such a broad inquiry to so many states
seeking information. Such a wide probe could signal the department is
broadly fishing for cases of non-compliance to bring suits aimed at
purging the voter rolls.
“These
two letters, sent on the same day, are highly suspect, and seem to
confirm that the Trump administration is laying the groundwork to
suppress the right to vote,” said Vanita Gupta, the CEO of the
Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and former head of DOJ’s
civil rights division under President Barack Obama. “It is not normal
for the Department of Justice to ask for voting data from all states
covered by the National Voter Registration Act. It’s likely that this is
instead the beginning of an effort to force unwarranted voter purges.”
These two letters, sent on the same day, are highly suspect, and seem to confirm that the Trump administration is laying the groundwork to suppress the right to vote. Vanita Gupta, head of DOJ’s civil rights division under President Barack Obama.
“If
this went to any individual states, I don’t think anybody would’ve
blinked twice,” said Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School who
served as deputy assistant attorney general in the civil rights
division in the Obama administration. The letter asked for public
information that was uncontroversial, he added, but what made the letter
“really weird” was that it was sent out to so many states.
“The
Department of Justice does investigations all the time, but those are
usually based on individualized predicates to believe that there’s a
problem in a given area, in a given jurisdiction. And I’m not aware of a
similar letter being sent to blanket jurisdictions across the country,”
he said.
The
NVRA requires states to “conduct a general program that makes a
reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the
official lists.” If a state wants to act to remove a voter from its
rolls, it must first send a broad, nondiscriminatory solicitation
seeking a confirmation of address to those registered. If a person fails
to respond, they can only be removed from the rolls if they don’t vote
in the next two consecutive federal elections.
In
the past, voting rights groups have used the legislation as a powerful
tool to try to prevent states from kicking eligible voters off their
rolls. The Supreme Court will consider a case next term dealing with whether a voter removal process used in Ohio is violating the NVRA.
The
DOJ letter asks the states covered by the NVRA to provide information
on the processes they use to remove people from the voting lists and the
people authorized to implement them. It also asks for data from recent
years on the number of voters removed from the voting rolls and the
reasons they were removed.
“When
you see DOJ send a bunch of letters like this requesting information
about compliance with the law, that’s usually a sign that they’re
kicking an enforcement campaign into gear,” Sam Bagenstos, who served as
the principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights from
2009 until 2011. “It looks like what they’re doing is they’re laying the
groundwork to file lawsuits against states that, in their view, aren’t
kicking enough people off of the rolls.”
“It looks like what they’re doing is they’re laying the groundwork to file lawsuits against states that, in their view, aren’t kicking enough people off of the rolls.” Sam Bagenstos, former principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights
Devin
O’Malley, a Justice Department spokesman, said the department’s review
of list maintenance procedures hadn’t been done in many years.
“The
Department of Justice is committed to free and fair elections for all
Americans. Congress enacted the NVRA’s list-maintenance provisions
specifically to advance that goal. The Department had not conducted a
review of state and local list-maintenance activities under the NVRA for
many years,” he said in a statement. “The Department looks forward to
working with state and local election officials to facilitate
appropriate list-maintenance activities toward our common goal of free
and fair elections for all voters.”
A DOJ official also said the department had not coordinated with the separate election integrity commission.
But
Bagenstos said he was skeptical the two efforts weren’t related and
were part of a multifaceted approach by the Trump administration to make
voting more difficult.
“What
an amazing coincidence that these letters went out on the same day.
This administration is, without even knowing it, doing parallel efforts
to try to trim the voting roll. I don’t buy it,” he said. He added that
the voter fraud commission led by Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas
Secretary of State Kris Kobach was trying to create a nationwide
database of voter registration that would paint a picture of potential
voter fraud that could then be used to justify more restrictive voting
laws.
David Becker, the executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and a former DOJ lawyer, agrees.
“In
the quarter-century since passage of the NVRA, of which I spent seven
years as a DOJ lawyer enforcing the NVRA, among other laws, I do not
know of the DOJ conducting any other broad-based fishing expedition into
list maintenance compliance, whether during Democratic or Republican
administrations,” he wrote in a Thursday op-ed.
Becker also noted it was strange the DOJ letter only focused on voter
list maintenance procedures and did not want to examine compliance with
parts of the law aimed at making it easier to vote.
Allegra
Chapman, director of voting and elections at nonprofit group Common
Cause, said she found it striking the DOJ was uninterested in the aspect
of the law that provided voter registration opportunities at public
assistance agencies.
“To
me, that indicates this agency just has zero interest in ensuring the
rights of poor Americans too and ensuring that, you know, people across
the income divide are equally being given the registration services that
they’re entitled to under federal law,” she said in an interview.
While
Bagenstos said he was alarmed by both the Kobach and DOJ requests, he
believed the department could be a much more potent tool in curbing
access to the ballot box.
“On
Kris Kobach’s work on this commission, they’re going to get a lot of push-back, they’ve already gotten some pushback from states. It’s all
been sort of ham-handed,” he said. “They don’t really have staff, so
that’s all really amateurish and it might not go anywhere. But the folks
at DOJ know what they’re doing and I really worry that at the end of
the day there’s gonna be a lot of noise about this Kobach-Pence
commission and people will miss the enforcement efforts of DOJ.”
“DOJ,
at the end of the day, is more likely to be successful as a tool in
this process than is this commission, so that’s why I worry more about
them,” he said.

Book Review: Baffled By Love
Book Review: Baffled By Love By Laurie Kahn
Reviewed by Claire Nana
~ 3 min read
Love is what everyone wants. And yet when those who are supposed to love us do just the opposite, the effects ripple throughout our lives, in both our relationships with others and our relationships with ourselves.
In Baffled By Love: Stories of the lasting Impact of Trauma Inflicted by Loved Ones, author Laurie Kahn dives deep into the lives of the many who have been traumatized, confused, and terrified by love. And ultimately, healed by it too.
“Even gifted clinicians quickly discover that what they learned in school does not suffice in practice,” writes Laurie Kahn, who is a pioneer in the field of trauma treatment. Trauma goes beyond what many can imagine, shattering core beliefs and assumptions about the world, people around us, ourselves and especially of love itself.
Trauma simply leaves us unraveled, like Kristi, who we meet in the first section of Kahn’s book.
Kristi is a young mother of three who finds herself overwhelmed and unable to face her children. After driving herself to the hospital one morning, Kristi discovers something: she likes the people in the hospital because they are real and honest, and no one is hiding anything. Growing up with an abusive father and a mother who turned a blind eye, Kristi had never before felt cared for.
“Allowing someone to care about her would be like choosing to play in traffic with a truck heading right toward her,” Kahn writes of Kristi’s experience.
Betrayals can be soul-crushing, and can leave us wondering if relationships can ever be a source of soothing. Because love has been interlocked with pain and hurt, therapy is a source of fear, not comfort for those like Kristi. And yet, while the challenge for her is to tolerate the therapeutic relationship, the challenge for the therapist is to be tolerant of her resistance to closeness and soothing.
Betrayal trauma – the term first coined by Jennifer Freyd for trauma resulting from betrayal – can also leave us blind. In what Freyd calls, “betrayal blindness,” our ability to recognize abuse, or the extent of the harm being done is taken over by our need to maintain our relationship with our caretaker.
“Betrayal blindness is a way of not knowing that shields a child from an unbearable conflict,” writes Kahn.
Much of the reason betrayal blindness affects us so strongly is because, unlike our capacity to detect injustices, detecting betrayal threatens our innate desire to be loved, or at least to maintain the image that we are lovable.
We can dissociate, developing what is called, “traumatic amnesia” as a way to simply avoid seeing what is so painful and emotionally overwhelming. We can also experience a dual awareness, sort of a knowing and not knowing, remembering and not remembering, as a way to split off that part of ourselves that is painful, and keep it out of reach.
And betrayal blindness distorts a child’s ability to accurately perceive danger in relationships, which makes them more vulnerable to abuse by partners and lovers as adults. Kahn writes, “One of the cruelest truths about childhood trauma is the way it revisits its victims when they adults. People who are victimized as children are more likely to be victims of domestic violence or to be sexually assaulted as adults.”
When trauma is not healed, it remains out of our cognitive reach, and outside of our awareness, driving us to recreate situations that are familiar, although again traumatizing. Yet sometimes these conditions can happen in therapy.
Kahn tells the story of Elizabeth, a woman who suffered sexual abuse by her father at a young age. After making considerable progress in therapy, Kahn asks Elizabeth if she could include parts of her story – with her identity protected – in an upcoming journal article. Elizabeth responds that she feels as if she has to say yes, because saying no would jeopardize her relationship with Kahn, and yet saying yes also means that she will go home and hurt herself.
Kahn tells her that it is her choice, although she will be disappointed if she says no. When Elizabeth reacts very strongly, stating that she “doesn’t know if she can continue in therapy, and that her past is now off limits for discussion,” Kahn realizes that they are in a therapeutic reenactment of the excruciating bind she felt as a child. “She wanted to please her perpetrator, the person she was dependent on and who was supposed to love and protect her, but when she pleased him, she felt complicit in her abuse,” she writes.
Later, when Kahn and Elizabeth are able to repair the relationship and discuss how betrayed Elizabeth felt by Kahn, Elizabeth tells her, “I never knew about the kind of relationships where someone really cares about you, where you can work through a conflict without destroying each other…I don’t think I will trust anyone until we have our first fight and successfully work it through.”
Filled with touching stories, poignant moments, and brilliant therapeutic insights,
Baffled By Love, should be required reading for any clinician – new or seasoned.
