This type of skirt I wear, that type of skirt I don't. Why? This one I consider a male garment (more correctly, both gender), the others I consider as women's garments. Any slight there, I hope not, certainly none intended.
Am I concerned that I may appear to be cross-dressing? Only to the point that I'm not, so I don't want that misunderstanding. After that, if that's the impression then, tough.

As for women's mythical roles, I always have my mother as a role model. As I've related before her brothers were commandos and she lived near the training grounds in Scotland when she was in her early teens. They taught her deadly stuff that she taught me, that I've used in adult Black Belt tournaments and scored. She was pretty close to being a single mom of four kids, but was still a model and an actress. She made mistakes as a parent, oh well, but I never doubted her love and fierceness. When I was about 20, she wanted to pay for me to fly out and "take care of" a guy who upset my sister.
Mom's retired now, and works part time as a server/deputy/tracer. Pretty scary.
I never acknowledge crap about woman's place or man's work. It's the difference between rights and privilege.
Whoops, getting on a rant, stop now.
