I hope again that I'm not coming across as too confrontational. I do respect everybody here, even if I disagree with them completely about any particular thing. I'm merely trying to get at the root of the aversion to women wearing kilts.
It seems to me that the root of the aversion so far has only been stated as 'because it's for men' or 'because they've got something else to be proud of'. Both of which I've shown seem... lacking... when used to explain a similar aversion to other things.
By taking the arguments against one thing and applying them to other topics which we don't have an emotional investment in, we can better see how those arguments stand up as arguments.

PS: Thanks for enlightening me about the Ohioans (is that the right nomenclature?) at the Alamo. Still the spirit of the analogy is clear. Substitute the word "Ohio" for "Iceland" and the analogy applies very well when talking about that particular argument.
