    I like Andrews replies also, but I may not want to lower myself to this lassies level, she was drunk but you were in possession of your mind.

    We have discussed at length this double standard on the forum, there seems to be no real answer, if we wear a kilt then confronting the ignorance of the masses is part of the deal.

    Still, we all agree that the freedom of kilt wearing is worth the effort and the grief.

    "Show me your's first"

    "You're under citizen's arrest for sexual assault."

    "Okay honey, but someplace private. My place or yours?"

    And anything off the long threads about kilt checks....

    This biz has come up in the forum often...and in a similar thread I commented that, as you observed, if the situation was reversed it would be "a sex crime" and you'd not only get arrested but you'd probably get the bejabbers kicked out of you by the offended party's significant other and end up having to register with the local constabulary as a "sex offender" every year or whenever you relocated.

    So is there some problem here that by wearing a kilt it is assumed that you are inviting this kind of conduct? I mean, I generally tend to mind my own business...and this hasn't happened to me as yet and I hope that it doesn't...but how does some anebriated woman or group of women come to the conclusion that this is some kind of cutesy behavior? And I don't mean to infer that any of the forum participants wear the kilt because they want stuff like this to happen...I accept that it comes with the territory.

    It's like the conversation that I had with my wife: I noted that if I were a twenty-something guy with nice abs and a full head of hair I would be a kilted studmuffin...but I'm a fifty-something guy with less hair than he started out with and there's abs in there somewhere if I could only find them...so I'm a "charming eccentric" instead. Oh well...perhaps that will help to spare me the indignity of even having to put up with such shenanigans.

    A tatoo may do

    A temporary tatoo on the kilted one's backside with some useful message may do.
    "If you can read this you just broke the law"
    "Your Under Arrest"
    On the humeous side:
    "This Space for rent"
    Any more ideas?
