Dad Who Wears Skirts in Solidarity With Dress-Wearing Son: Awesome or Over the Top? Aug 30th 2012, 11:13 When it comes to supporting his son, German dad Nils Pickert goes the extra mile. Even if that means wearing women's clothes (including nail polish) to help his 5-year-old feel good about going out in dresses and skirts, as he often does. Why does the young boy prefer dresses and skirts? It's not clear, but this is part of Pickert's point - standing in solidarity with him, no matter the fallout.

To Pickert, it's all about the show, don't tell attitude. He says if his son's unorthodox dress choices are seen as "everybody's business," it's his "job to be the role model my son needs" and set an example not just for youth, but for parents, too. What do you think? Did he succeed?
