Why do some women hate wearing skirts/dresses? (looks, clothes, long)

[sawyersmom]

I prefer skirts and dresses to pants. I find pants to be uncomfortable.

If you wear a skirt you get the pervy pervs. Especially if every other woman is wearing pants.
Guys wear "kilts" in Portland, but its really a skirt. Its a lawsuit thing. The company uniform. If women can wear a skirt to work then why do I have to wear pants.
My niece doesn't shave her legs and nobody cares. Wear socks if you feel strange.

And dresses make me look fat or totally shapeless.

And during the winter my area gets ice storms, blizzards, etc., I'd really do wonderful scraping off the car windows wearing a dress with legs exposed and frozen.

Because no any normal thing is possible to do with them and I am not interested of spending my life sitting still legs crossed and looking "feminine".

back in school girls were not allowed to wear pants, they had to wear a skirt or a dress

My reasons have been pointed out already.

Skirts feel odd. They also make me feel too exposed.
You have to be mindful of how you move.
They're also not my thing.

Can't stand dresses or skirts! I live in a region of the country where we get weather. Nothing like wearing a dress in a blizzard and cleaning your car off....nothing like having to run through a parking lot when it's pouring rain out and rain is splashing up your skirt! Yeah no thanks

Just a tad behind the times.................bare legs are great in the summer, with sandals, cool. Are dressy boots in? Feel like I have been under a rock~~

I do remember a friend awhile back tried on a dress after many years of not wearing one and she said she felt weird and uncomfortable.

I dunno. I prefer them, at least in warm weather. I never wear pants unless it's cool weather.
