As some of you already know, my wife, Julia, has written a number of posts where she discusses her experiences being married to a man who wears skirts, heels, and other gender-non-conforming clothes. Her posts have proven popular as they provide a different perspective on the topic and we’ve even heard from some men who say they have helped their wives accept their love of skirts.
That being said, we have also noticed there are a number of questions that have arisen from both men and their wives, but we haven’t found the best format to answer them. So we decided to kick off an “ask me anything” for Julia.
So if there are any questions you would like to ask Julia, please let us know in the comments below or via the contact page! Feel free to ask anything and Julia will respond in a post or series of posts depending on how detailed her answer is.
We aren’t going to place a time limit on this, so even if you’re reading this post a long time after publication, feel free to ask anyway!
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Hello Julia.
Curious of how you feel about the uneve-ness when it comes to fashion choices between men and women. Do you think women inadvertently contribute to this, and males tend to follow along, or vise verse?
Do you, as many women seem to think, think the double standard is justified?
Finally do you think it would be much better were almost all gender and sex based dress and grooming codes were abolished?
Thanks for the questions, Pythos! I’ll forward them to her.
Sorry had one more.
should parents be encouraged to let their kids wear what they wish, and look how they wish, and not impose gender rules limits and stereotypes on their kids, and instill interests in things outside of “normal” gender rules does not mean they are another sex or gender?
I believe this topic was not touched (or not touched deeply), but how about telling your friends that your husband picked up skirts / heels? Is it something that you “suddenly” tell them, or was it like a discovery from one of your friends and you had to “confess” in front of others amazed or confused friends? I’ve seen, in these “beskirted profiles”, several guys mentioning partner being tolerant but requesting husband to keep silent and not even try to reveal it to anyone from family / friends. Happily (or sadly) I don’t have such thing to worry about, but would be interesting to read your story.
Thank you for the questions! I’ll pass them on!
