New Forum Idea: So He Wants to Wear the Kilt

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

I think that is a great idea as well!

Prime idea, Shay!

I'd love to have somewhere to tell my wife to go and talk to other women who's hubby wears a kilt.

This is an especially good reason. I am stunned by how many women are unsupportive of their men wearing kilts. Maybe it would help for them to be able to come here and talk it out with other women. It really can seem like your man is the only one in the world sporting a kilt sometimes.

Why not just call in the Section for Spousal Support? After all some people may have spouses that are not "wives". I hate political correctness too, but it covers all grey areas in this case.

This would cover may topics (overcoming fears, encouragement, questions, support, gift ideas, and persuasion).

Great idea though.

[Dreadbelly]

That is a brilliant idea.

That would be a great idea, a place where the ladies could talk to each other. It often doesn't work to just read the general forum, as it's a bunch of guys who think alike and the women need to hear from another woman.

What the hell is going on around here? This used to be a site for kilted men; real men. Now we're wearing slips and starting support groups!
Watch out!
We are on the crumbly edge of a slippery slope. One mis-step and we are discussing nail polish, panty hose, and trans-genderism.
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just Bear in a bad mood and spouting off again. But anyone drop in at Tom's Cafe recently? It used to be almost all kilts. Then the Atrium changed from skirts to trans-genderism and the nail polish set moved in en masse and took over Tom's.
I am far from a kilt traditionalist. I'm more of a slob in a kilt. I let my pleats wrinkle. I wear sweatshirts and low socks. But I'll leave when the posts turn to leg waxing, or frilly miniskirts.

I feel for the guys whose wive's don't like their kilts but those guys have the same choice we have all made. Wear a kilt or don't wear a kilt. We've all had some kind of resistance to our kilt wearing from work or family.
Women need no help talking about their problems with other women. They have friends to discuss their problems with. This site is primarily for kilted men. Let's keep it that way!

Okay, group hug.

Okay, group hug.

Bear: You are one funny MacBitseach! Thanks for the laugh.

I agree Bear that this site needs to stay soverign ground for masculine men who wear the MAN's kilt in a masculine way.

The problem is that my wife will talk to her friends who are most likely going to support her view even if tehy don't think a kilt is an issue. I need to be able to gather a group of women to support my view...other than the ladies who lift my kilt with their eyes

Cavscout,
I'm glad you'd prefer the site stay as it is with regards to masculinity.
But, you do not need to gather a group of women to support your view. You are a man who is self confident enough to wear a kilt in public. Other men look at you and wish they had the stones to wear a kilt.

Tell your wife a kilt is healthier than pants and makes you happier and more alive. How can she object to your health and happiness?

As 'real men', do we need permission to wear what we choose? Tell her, "(insert name), I love you but I will wear my kilt and you need to get used to it."
You don't choose what she wears. Why is the reverse acceptable?

Yeah, but maybe those of us whose wives have never had a problem with us wearing a kilt can help answer some of the insecurities that non supportive wives are feeling. I still think it's a good idea, and holds no comparison to the rubbish at Tom's (anyone still visit or post there despite the complaints?).
