Call out sexist comments from other men.

You arent an ally if you only pay lip service to the women in your life and never say anything to the men.

Wear skirts. I know a few guys who will unapologetically wear skirts. They don't consider it cross dressing, they just find them comfortable.

Skirts are great, more people should be able to wear them without getting odd looks.

Only downside of skirts is that they keep flying up when bicycling :(

Other than that, they're great!

Understand the concept of no?

Thought tbh, the men i have around me aren't like that, but the amount of horrible shit I read in women's communities is horrific.

It doesn't make sense that we somehow decided skirts/dresses are for women and trousers for men. Skirts provide airflow to keep testicles cool. Men are the ones who should be actively pushed by society to wear skirts.

Right? Makes way more sense for keeping bits cool.

Have you had a chance to take a look at the rules for this comm by chance?

Based in genital structure men should really be the ones wearing skirts and women should be wearing pants.

Have long styled hair, wax, wear kilts, apply eyeshadow. Value their feminine and childish qualities more. Shame other men for being patriarchal. Quit with the athletic aesthetic already.

Respect the boundaries of this community and of women in general, so far I haven't seen any of them here but I can almost guarantee some asshole will comment on this post when they aren't allowed here.

A few of my guy friends have the most gorgeous long hair. They also fully embrace painting their nails. It's the best.

Was having a discussion with a guy about the masturbating arseholes in dollar tree. Mentioned that this is a good example of failure because women don't do that shit

"Yeah but those guys are just arseholes". And i pointed out that dude, not the point. Women don't do this shit. "Only because they can't ejaculate on you" the guy could. Not. Conceive of the fact that masturbating on a fucking stranger in a dollar tree is not a thing that occurs to women to do. And when it sank in "I wouldn't do that, that's a really shitty way to look at an entire gender"

And we get fucking nowhere because their ears are purposefully deaf
