I think the problem is that the women are seeing their own "obsessions" from the other side. For years, women have had such a wide variety of choices in their clothes, whereas men had considerably less. Lets face it, one pair of jeans is much like another. With kilts, however, there is a wide variety of choices. Even if you stick with the traditional knife-pleated tailored tartan kilt, you have thousands of choices for a tartan. When you add in solid colors and the different styles, the choices multiply. So, while for such a long time men have been asking "Why do you need so many different pairs of shoes (or blouses, or skirts, etc)?", the women in a kilt wearing man's life now have to ask "Why do you need so many kilts?"
