Men In Skirts

Male train drivers in Stockholm have circumvented a ban on wearing shorts in the summer by coming to work in skirts.

Is it gender bias or just short sightedness?  Why is it ok for a woman to wear a skirt and a man cannot wear shorts?  These men figured out a way to show how ignorant the rule was.  They started crossdressing. 
Now they are probably hoping to get to wear shorts in the near future and put up their skirts.  However, I would like to see acceptance adopted for men wearing skirts everywhere.  Really it just takes a few instances for it to spread. 
This is a good step to showing 1) men in skirts is not bad and 2)Men can do it without feeling creepy :o).
