It is probably not the skirt per se but it's design and the occassion which would make it acceptable. A bath robe is commonly acceptable as are various national dresses. My daughter wears trim little skorts sometimes which would probably look OK on a bloke. The flouncy skirts and dresses; the intensly decorative ones and the whirly ones would probably only interest an extremely narrow sector.

What next, trousers for women, it is against the laws of nature, and it is also an old story that I would say is not realy an issue.  Who, in this day and age cares?

The first skirt for men, the lap lap, was the smallest, coolest and sexiest. Now men are spoilt for choice if they are creative. If not the poor guys are stuck with only shorts or jeans/trousers which must get boring at times. A lot of my male friends like sarongs and look good in them.

I really don't know why more men don't wear skirt type clothing especially in hot and humid areas.

It's much healthier also

looks idiotic,    want to keep your manly ness,  keep your pants on,  although from what i hear,  a LOT of men would like skirts,      and do,
