I Like to Wear Skirts

This was a news headline in our local newspaper and all the news channels.
Female volunteer turned away from Festival of Trees for wearing pants instead of dress, skirt.
The girl said, "I thought it was extremely sexist to be honest. I think it's just a way of enforcing really strict stereotypes on genders and these really aren't reasonable rules. Women wearing pants has been a really prominent way that we have shown that we are equal to men. We can do the same work as men and we deserve the same rights as men.”
This prompts me to think of three things: 1) it's about time women got their comeuppance for wearing pants, 2) I'll bet they'd turn me away if I showed up in a skirt(which I would gladly do), and 3) I should be allowed to wear a skirt because men can do the same work as women and deserve the same rights as women.

It's easy to get out of child support and it's your responsibility anyways. If your gonna have unsafe sex and the girl wants to keep it, your screwed

If you're going to have sex it's irresponsible to not take adequate measures by both parties. It's not just one person's responsibility or right. Both parties need to be responsible. If a guy is unwilling to do that just cut off his pecker and tell him to get lost. He shouldn't be having sex anyway. It isn't about rights. It's about being immature and irresponsible.

Why do girls think they have a "right" to birth control means that every tax payer must pay for it, so they only sleep with bums who can't bring even one condom to the party? If the dud is that poor how desperate are you

I had the neighbours little girls tell me that boys aren't meant to have long hair! I asked who said that ?? They said (mommy and daddy ) ....
To witch I responded well if that's the case then girls should always be in dresses not pants because they are for boys then, the. Next few weeks one could hear them fighting because the girls wanted their dresses lol.

I think it's missed here and in the comments that the bias is revealed not only in her being turned away but in the fact that any sort of news coverage was given. Imagine the news vans showing up when Vanessa described being run out of Kohls by rude salespeople. Right, you can't, because it wouldn't happen.

I wonder how come no one accused her of being a crossdresser. At least if she was going to wear pants you would think she would have tried a little harder to make herself passable as a guy.

I think it's about time that we all got to wear what we want when we want and for whatever reason we want!

I just feel strongly about this. Too many times transgender persons are thrown away/to the side just because they are different. I can tell you I am no different than anyone else (OK maybe just a little) and just feel angry about sisters getting the short stick for just about everything.
