I find it interesting that fencing has three different weapons and could be thought of as three different sports in one. (I took a class in foil fencing many years ago...never did try the others).

BTW, I think that the only garment that will coax men out of "trousers tyranny" is the kilt. The traditional kilt has a legitamacy...lent, I believe, also to "contemporary and untraditional" variants.

I can't imagine the average male trying on some of the silly creations I have seen online-he would be making a fool of himself.
