Who said anything about women ? Women aren’t the only ones who can wear skirts ya know :). But yes accessibility should also be apart of the discussion

Not commenting on the validity of GP's comment, but I don't think you can invalidate it with that argument; the topic evidently permeates the discussion.

> that a woman designer popularized the glass stair

> I know lots of girls

> when kilts become trendy

> particularly women being preyed on

> that a lot of women have to deal with creepy behavior

> that all genders will wear clothes

> For women in particular

I agree that it permeates the discussion , but I think it’s dishonest that it’s the only discussion it permeates (like the kilts you mention there). The Twitter poster made a very obvious point of not mentioning just women but anyone who can wear a skirt.

One that comes to mind is girls who wear skirts.

Disabilities are something I agree should be mentioned, but the GP beef should be with just mentioning clothing, not a subsection of a sex who wears it.
