Skirtlifting

[sarahjane113]

Yes I think you're right I had my skirt lifted a few times at school and yes it was embarassing probably more then than it seems looking back on it now. Luckily its not something that happens on a regular basis now although I have seen girls having their skirts lifted in clubs - it also depends on what sort of skirt you wear. I generally wear straight skirts so they cant just be lifted up that easily although I do sometimes have a few stray hands wandering between my legs trying to cop a feel of my knickers.

sarajane113,

Yes it seems then it was the end of the world but you are right looking back on it, while it still carries some feelings with it, it isn't as bad now as back then.
It seems that this does occur more then we thought.
And it doesn't seem to stop in high school. There is one club where we frequent that skirtlifting seems to be on the increase. Acholol does seem to empower some guys with liquid courage.
Maybe it has to do with length of skirt?? I mean if one was wearing a maxi skirt, then there is no way that skirtlifting can occur at least w/o some great difficulty. But wear a micro and not much lifting is needed to see. Still, impulses need to be kept in check. I dunno. I guess the reasons for lifting has it's basis in many places.

Kangaroo2,

I agree. I think the type of skirt may play a role. When my skirt was lifted at that wedding, it was not a mini, but it was an above-the-knee skirt. It went up quite easily and it stayed up because of the fit of the skirt. It was a struggle to pull it down. And you are right, it did seem like "the end of the world" that day, but time heals all.

It sounds like some people in that club you go to need to grow up and have some manners. If skirts are being lifted there, I might consider pants.

Kangaroo2,

I should have mentioned this previously. You made a great point. I would be willing to bet that most, if not all, of the women mentioned here were wearing shorter skirts or minis.

Some of the other stories are really bad. When someone pulls up your skirt so horribly that you end up crying, that person is just evil. I hope it never happens to another woman, it really is wrong.

Kangaroo2,

I am obviously not the only skirt lifting victim here. My BF (who is now my ex-BF) pulled my skirt up at a party. He was not drunk and he did it deliberately to humiliate me. He thought that I was cheating on him (I was not, but was considering breaking up with him). He waited until everybody was around and he just yanked my skirt right up!! I couldn't believe he did that. It is really hard to describe what went through my mind when my skirt was up in front of those people. I was embarrassed, of course, but I was also really mad at him. It made breaking up with him really easy. Later that night he got into a fight with another guy. Go figure.

Looking back, this guy was a real angry man. He was very controlling and very jealous. I don't think he ever really trusted me. I still can't believe he pulled up my skirt. I broke up with him on the spot. Most of my friends don't speak to him anymore and I have not seen him for a very long time.

kansassue,

You have lost nothing by breaking up with that single cell creature. In fact you have gained your dignity by realising your selfworth and leaving him.
I know when it is soooooo blatant like he did, all sorts of things enter your mind and emotions all at once!
Fortunately we recover and like all things, we don't forget but the sting is less with each passing day.
Hey, he is in your rearview mirror and all by his lonsome. BooHoo!
You on the other hand have other adventures in front. There are a lot of nice guys out there...as well as jerks.
Thanx for posting.

I thought that this had only been me!

A total creep lifted my skirt while I was partying with friends. I had only met him once before. He had drank so much beer that he was unable to maintain his composure. He lifted my skirt up when I least expected it!! God, I was so embarrassed!! I read the other posts here and I can totally understand how the other girls must have felt. I just can't fathom what would lead someone to pull up my skirt. The guy that did it, laughed at me! I swear I will never let someone do that to me again.

You are soooo right kangaroo2, this juvenile behavior is reprehensible.

[nickybar]

WOW, I didn't think that there would be so many heart felt responses nor how prevelant skirtlifting is/was/has become!
I don't want to paint a pic that it is an everyday occurance but it seems as if it is one of those things that happens that isn't talked about.

Lots of good discussions here: the wind, guys with calloused feelings, guys with sympathetic feelings, assult and some girls who are mortified and others shrug it off.

Hi Amy.

You'e certainlly touched on a matter precious to most of us at some time To those who don't know my all time favourite skirt sytle is mini 12/14" full floaty style usually proped up with a multilayer petticoat underneath(a bit like a mini version of those georgeous 50s style rock & roll fullcircle skirts) most of my skirtlifting experiences have been as a victim of breeze/wind(quite a battle sometimes too & embarresing too but nothing compared to the what one or two others have had too deal with in this posting, you have my heartfelt sympathy, you go out for a good time out looking fabulous and some does the unthinkable too you. Someone said here that the mini/micro skirts are more likely victims, which is probably true, but why should those of us who love this style(me included) have to put up with sort of treatment.
I have myself had one or two non wind related skirtlifing experiences that I've had no control over whatsoever more of that when I have the time to relate and am able to write about.

Long live the mini(full)

Bye for now,



Nikky

Amy,

Thanks for the encouraging words.

When skirts became very short, in the late sixties, and tights came into use for this reason, many girls wore a pair of panties under their tights and another over them as skirts lifted very easily. Do they still do that in the interests of modesty?

Kangaroo2,

My skirt was lifted when I was in high school. It happened in the hall between classes and it was a guy I hated. He really humiliated me. I never wore a skirt to school again.

I know it's strange, but I still feel uneasy when I wear a skirt. I haven't had any other incidents, but I am still a little bit afraid that it could happen again. Is this normal or do you think I am being paranoid?

_ Voting in 2004 Hell yes they support Minnesota. ipod rule because I have to be in college next year during election time way and this makes just as much since if not more then an absentee ballot.

Dianeblue,

I know exactly how you feel. I still wear skirts after my experience, but I do feel a little different in them. Sometimes I have put on a skirt and it just feels to light, airy, or easy to pull up. I just put that skirt away and wear another one. Who knows maybe I'll feel like wearing one of those in the future.

I don't think you are paranoid, I just think you are more aware of the vulnerabilities of the skirt that all women face. Don't worry about it, wear what makes you comfortable and get out there and have fun!

Kangaroo2,

What an unusual discussion here. I'll put in my two cents. My skirt lifting experience may not be as spectacular as some of the others, but here it goes...
My skirt was pulled up in a mall parking lot by one of my friends. He's a great guy, and I know he was trying to be funny. I don't think he understood that you can really embarrass a girl by doing that. I was putting stuff in my trunk when he lifted my skirt as high as it would go. I screamed instinctively, which only made more people look. I had nice underwear on, but that did not help ease the embarrassment. When my skirt was back down, I think he noticed that something was wrong. He couldn't figure out why I was so upset. I explained that some girl's may think that's funny, but most girls are really, really embarrassed by this. He apologized and said he would never do it again. We are still friends.

I have read most of this discussion, and I put myself in the shoes of the other girls that have had their skirts lifted. I think the worst skirtlifting had to be the girl whose boyfriend pulled up her skirt on purpose to humiliate her. The fact that it was her BF that did it, makes it 10 times worse. What a betrayal. He's supposed to be the one person that cares about you, and than he lifts your skirt like that. What a scumbag!
