I did see a woman wearing a Sportkilt (Black Watch tartan) last year at the Richmond highland ganes. She was wearing some horrible pink shoes with it. I thought it was an insult to the regiment. Here is another way women are moving into male organizations. I a, a league bowler. The men's sanctioning body is the ABC, and the womems is the WIBC. As of a few years ago, women can join the ABC and bowl in sanctioned men's leagues and tournaments. Men aren't allowed to join the WIBC and bowl in women's tournaments. I am not against women in the men's tournament (my daughter is my doubles partner in this years men's Va state tournament), but I do think, "turnabout would be fair play". Anyhow, the matter is going to be somewhat resolved as the ABC and the WIBC are merging this year into the USBA. I will bet, however that there will still be "women only" tournaments allowed, but not "men only" tournaments.
