    These are all very good points James. I would add that it seems to be more acceptable to the general populace I you call it a kilt instead of a man's skirt. If they initially think it's just a skirt, thought of cross-dressing and the like start to flash through there minds. But once it's a kilt in their mind, the thought is "Oh! That's OK then!" Son I think that besides personal fears, its also societal expectations that guide our response.

    Gee, maybe that's why I've been noticing those colorful Navajo skirts and Hawaiian mumus in the stores lately.

    Anything that lets the boys swing free catches my eye these days...and I'm a grizzled old bird, not a cross dresser....but its only the "peacocky" prints that attract me.

    Can tell you there's a BIG difference between the reactions I get from wearing a contemporary kilt and the reactions I get from wearing a Macabi River Skirt....the later reactions are more wide eyed with the questions more stuttered...
