We want the major clothing retailers such as Kmart, Big W, Target etc to start stocking a season appropriate range of Skirts for Men. With the increasing temperatures due this summer, wearing skirts will not only be cooler but would be more comfortable. Woman have had the choice of either Skirts or trousers for decades, and can select either depending on the weather. Men on the other hand are confined to trousers or uncomfortable shorts. It is only fair that the retailers offer a range of skirts in suitable colours, styles and lengths, similar to what is available for woman, but sized to suit men. EG Large, Extra Large, etc.  There are many clothing designers now that are designing Skirts for Men, so it will not be difficult to source the Skirts.

A man wearing a skirt does not make him gay, no more than a woman wearing trousers makes her gay. Clothing is gender neutral, and it does not make any difference as long as you are comfortable. Many schools around the world are allowing their students to wear either trousers or skirts depending on the weather. We think that adults should have the same right to wear either. The problem is, at the moment a man wanting to wear a skirt has to choose from the women's section and very few skirts have a style that suits them.

Thank you for reading this and considering this petition. It may seem like a small change, but it will make a huge difference to those men who want to have the ability to make a choice in their lives.
