At first it will be difficult to perceive the connection between men in skirts and women without brassieres, but her analysis is relevant. She mentions comfort, yes, but most resonant is her statement on anatomy-positivity (something that I myself had to sort out early on). She alludes to the culture forces that pressure women to wear a bra, and that makes women feel transgressive for defying the normative expectations. But she concludes her manifesto with these words: “Try it, and you may feel uncomfortable, and that’s ok. I think, sit with the discomfort and know that a lot of it is just in your mind and I think just keep trying it.” Every bit of that is true of men wearing skirts.
