Ok, opinions are like a$$holes and I am going to air mine. First let me say that this is not directed at anyone or number of folks on this forum, just the idea or concept that is being discussed.

The idea that a Kilt becomes a skirt when a woman puts it on is not only sexist bunk, but also just plain ignorant. A Kilt is a Kilt regardless as to who is wearing it. I really like this forum, and have learned a lot from it. I enjoy the fact that folks from all over the globe post and share ideas and information here. Yet when I read this kind of crap it sickens me to no end. If you’re a man, and man enough to stand the trials and tribulations of wearing a kilt in our homophobic society, why is your masculinity so fragile that a woman in a Kilt threatens it?

I own a number of kilts, from trads to neo’s; my wife also owns a number of neo’s and looks damn good in them. She in no way looks “mannish” in them and would kick your *** if you were stupid enough to make such a sexist remark to her. Yeah I am a little hot under the collar concerning this issue. I have spent a couple of decades fighting the patriarchal mindset that woman are lesser beings and should know their place.

This is not the first time this subject has come up, and I am sure it’ll come up again. If I am still here on this forum I’ll freak out about it again as well. If the owner / moderators wish me to leave then I’ll go. I’ll just not stand by and condone such by default by remaining quiet about it.

I am going to go and buy another a kilt, and another one for my wife as well!
