Atlantic Magazine kilt article

Here's an article some might find interesting from today's online Atlantic Magazine that tackles the question of the allure of the kilt. It also explains the origin of the "Tactical Kilt".

Well, the first part about the 5.11 kilt was interesting, but the rest was just a load of codswallop.

I expect the writer of the article, Olga, "doesn't have a dog in this hunt". If she had a brother, son, boyfriend or any kilted male in her life she may have given a few more favorable mentions to wearing a kilt (pros for men and women while kilted or being close to someone kilted). Otherwise, I believe she has tried to provide a well rounded view without setting up a debate.

What a load of bunk. Honestly, is there a need to apply freshman year sociology and gender studies to everything these days?

I found the better discussion to be in the comments. You can always despair for humanity when you get down into the comments section, but there were some actual thoughtful items in among the nonsense. Gold in the dross, so to speak.
