Great piece, Judith! The Scots have been rocking the kilt for centuries... Canadian Highland regiments during WW2 were respectfully and with no lack of awe called " The Ladies from Hell!' The First Nations believe both male and female hold up half the sky which is a lovely and powerful image. We need less engine revving and more turning up to take equal responsibility starting with what message both involved parents send to their children. The misogyny had its turn and look how well that turned out. Men who want power over women when they have no power over themselves, who are incapable of equal contribution, who resent educated women are dinosaurs that refuse to die and at least make of themselves something compostable.
Need and want are two different things. I am happy to see younger men who have become caring and equal partners. As for guys our age... that's often a different story.

Thanks, Trish. This was fun to write. Gladiators wore skirts as well. Men have been rocking hem lines throughout history.
I still believe a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle!
