A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)

As a man I appreciate your concerns. However, in my country the problem is much larger on the women's side as female professionals are struggling for their rights to wear trousers in professional settings. The recent progress? The lawyers just got allowed to wear pants instead of skirts only.
Why the fuck is this something that must be permitted in the first place? My rights to wear a kilt can wait until women can wear pants.
Why would this division in rationale be productive? The struggle to wear a dress and the struggle to wear a pants are both but the same, the right to choose for yourself what you want to dress with. Same as the right to wear a Hijab, or the right not to wear it. The right to wear what one wants is not something that can wait for anyone.
At least in my country, men wearing kilt would be weird at best, but females of certain professions would be outright barred from practicing if they showed up in pants.
The level of oppression towards women is much stronger, hence the urgency.
