Woman Laugh but Men are Arrested

[English Bloke]

I've been asked 'the question' many times and usually reply with some amusing but glib response. Haven't really got a problem with that. I've also been kilt-checked on a number of occasions, never by invitation, more often than not by strangers and not always by women. It really can become quite tiresome but does seem to be the cause of much merriment for both checker and onlookers. Of course no consideration is ever given to me and how I may feel about it.

In a crowded pub, I once retaliated to some bloke by quizzing his desire and motivation to see my exposed genitalia and threatened some proper rough justice if he did it again. He backed off and apologised. I've been accosted in the street by groups of females, I've had women take photos up my kilt as well as wandering hands without the lift, usually in crowded rooms and frequently in front of my wife... and on another occasion, after having my front aprons lifted from behind by some inebriated woman so her female friend in front of me could check my state of dress, I asked the woman why she felt it appropriate to help herself to my very personal space. She replied that I was only wearing the kilt to draw attention to myself and it's probably what I wanted her to do...

An interesting view-point. I do wonder sometimes how long I'd keep my liberty if I were to employ the same forward curiosity towards women as they do to me and used the line "She was wearing a skirt so she obviously wanted me to" as my defence. But then being a Gent, I wouldn't dream of doing so.

I appreciate the mystique that surrounds the garment but bear in mind I'm not a buffed Adonis, I'm a slightly corpulent, middle aged bloke aged plenty-five. Women's interest and lack of inhibition may well be spiked by intoxication but it is a double standard and like I say, quite tiresome. It's certainly not a reasonable excuse.
