Looks like it's becoming more and more fashionable. I've personally seen men wearing them in the UK. They looked pretty cool actually.

I personally don't see the problem. Pants are often very restrictive. The worst thing about them is the lack of ventilation 'down there'. In summer it can get very sweaty and smelly. Skirts offer more air to get through.

Also, they've been worn for thousands of years by men. I don't get why suddenly it became socially un-acceptable. It's just a piece of fabric. We still seem to have a kind of victorian attitude to what you are 'allowed' to wear and not to wear.

Would it really bother you if you saw a man wearing a skirt? I might get one myself and I'm a dude.
