    You just need to rebrand it. It’s not a skirt. It’s a kilt.

    It’s not a dress, it’s a long tunic.

    It’s not jeggings, it’s…uh…stretchy jeans.

      They’re not bras, they’re apple bottom stabilizers that double as moob support apparatus.

      Nah, you gotta own it. Capitulating to toxic masculinity and calling your dress a tunic to avoid ridicule is alpha cuck shit. “Please don’t make fun of me, I’m not wearing a skirt, it’s a kilt!” Nah, this is a skirt and it is so much more comfortable than your denim jeans. We’re shopping at target, Braxton, not working on a farm. My outfit is the superior one for this activity

      Meh, middle-aged white guy here. Got 3 kilts and they’re not so great. Kinda fun in the woods. Went to a party last winter with camo girl leggings and it was super nice. But usually, nah.

      The women I dated were hardly conservative, or they wouldn’t be with me, and not a one liked 'em, visibly turned off. YMMV.

      While I admire your attitude, I don’t think it’s a great idea to try and get around gender stereotypes by rebranding. The best way in my opinion is just to own it and be confident. Going around them in a way enforces them, because you’re changing the name to avoid the stigma that comes with breaking them as opposed to questioning and opposing it.

        I’m afraid not everyone is confident, I do however plan on getting myself a kilt one day as well as some programming/Unix socks to go with it.

          The key is to start small and go slowly. It’s possible to build up confidence over time and just work up to it.
