Well, there's a fine help in alleviating the stigma that came from the whole MSM event!

There is no stigma from MSM.

Most people didn't hear of the MSM. Those that did mostly remember a bunch of guys in kilts in NY.

Utilikilts actively markets and sells to the gay community and it hasn't hurt their macho reputation.

We kilt wearers are going to have to get over the fears of looking gay or effeminate. Kilts are neither. People understand that a kilt is different than an ordinary skirt. It is a skirt worn by warriors and rebels; a symbol of masculinity.
Jimmy,
In the 'can't win either way' category:
I would never ask you to pull a post, and I honestly wish you hadn't. As much as I don't like it when he does it, I'd rather have Hank pull the plug on a thread than have someone back off a stand for the sake of decorum. There's too much decorum nowadays for my liking.
I wasn't too happy about the way the MSM went as far as the media coverage went but if anyone ever asked me about the guys in women's skirts there, I would have told them that 90% of the guys there were in kilts and the media went for the 10% in drag.
And I don't totally blame the media. They just deliver what the public wants. If we all didn't read newspapers that take everything to the lowest levels of journalism, we wouldn't get this kind of coverage.
Then again, if most guys were that intelligent, they'd be wearing kilts and we wouldn't be talking here.
Kilts have been around long enough and are known world wide as a garment for men. Men in women's skirts will not change this. Women in kilts will not change this. Boneheads that believe what they read in a newspapers won't change this.
