Many articles of clothing have a "boys name" and a "girls name". Kilts are no more "skirts for men" than shirts are "blouses for men".
A kilt is not a "skirt for men"? Then why does the dictionary definition say it is?
Re: shirt/blouse Both terms apply equally to male and female garments.
Re: trousers/slacks Both terms apply equally to male and female garments.
With the partial exception of underwear (briefs/boxers are worn by both sexes), I think that only gender specific articles of clothing can be safely assigned exclusively to one sex or the other. Example: jockstrap=male, brassier=female.
Not looking to stir anyone up. Just giving my opinion.
