IMHO, some Morris dances do look better when done by people wearing skirts, while others look better when done by people wearing trousers. The anatomy underneath (in this context, though not in some others of course) is of secondary importance.

On this topic, William Kimber is on record as saying (to the Morris Ring around 1950) something like this: "why shouldn't they dance ... some of 'em dances a darn sight tidier than half of you do." I'm quoting from memory, but it's in Derek Schofield's booklet with the "Absolutely Classic" CD.

And if it's all right with William, it's all right with me.

Wassail!
