[edit] Sexist
The idea of skirts seems perverse and somewhat sexist. Shouldn't there be more mention of where the idea of women wearing skirts began? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.201.90 (talk) 22:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Skirts versus pants
I have removed this section as it made all sorts of dubious assertions with out any verification that they represent the balanced opinions of experts in the subject. These claims need sources that show they are suitable content for an encyclopedia article on skirts before going in the article. -- SiobhanHansa 15:16, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Usage in Europe and the US
This article says, "Outside the U.S., however, higher-status women (judges, cabinet ministers, physicians, corporate executives etc.) generally avoid wearing trousers in public." The dress article says, "Outside the U.S., higher-status women (judges, cabinet ministers, physicians, corporate executives et al.) generally avoid wearing trousers in public." Really? This might be right for Eastern Europe, but with Western Europe and the US compared, I experienced it just the other way round. A number of European high rank European politicians (Angela Merkel and most female members of the cabinet; the most female minsters in France and Spain), all female physicians I know, and also the female advocates I know don't follow the traditional clothing rules; unless they're attending a prom. But in America, I experienced that the most did. So I consider the sentence to be POV, if not wrong. --Derbeobachter (talk) 22:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
