I guess we can blame Lord Baden Powell. I recall a conversation between my mother and a friend of hers. This woman (Betty) was born and raised in Scotland. The conversation was about Betty joining the Girl Guides to see if it was really true that the guides didn't wear underwear under their kilts.
Now this was happening way before the majority of the members here were born! As Betty is well into her eighties...do the math! And how long has the wee kilt and tartans, as we know them, been around? 250 years?
Now if you take a rectangular piece of material 40"x72" wrap it around your body depending on how it's wrapped it is both a female and a male garment worn by a majority in this world. A sarong is considered a unisex garment.
I know most women think guys are sexy in a kilt. Like the looks of a man in a kilt and have no problem with it. I also know, most males rather see a woman in a skirt, dress, kilt than a pair of pants.
I asked one of my daughters this morning if she thought kilts were a man only garment... Her reply would offend some of you here so I won't go there.
Bottom line is you wear a kilt, you feel comfortable in who you are...what's the problem? We have a whole other thread geared to responses on what other people think and replies to that issue.
If you think about it, most of the questions asked are where is the band playing? and what's the occasion?
Best put on your kilt two legs at a time......
