how other fashionable males view about kilts

[minimalistix]

discuss the benefits of a dovet rather than a throw while we are having our cuticles looked after. Martha Stewart could be one the TV,

That just reminded me of this dialogue.


TYLER: Do you know what a duvet it?
JACK: Comforter.
TYLER: It's a blanket, just a blanket. Now why guys like you and I know what a duvet is? Is this essential to our survival? In the hunter-gathered sense of the word? No. What are we then?
JACK: You know, consumers.
TYLER: Right. We're consumers. We're by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty -- these things don't concern me. What concerns me is celebrity magazines, television with five hundred channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra.
JACK: Martha Stewart.
TYLER: @@#$ Martha Stewart. Martha's polishes on the brass of the Titanic. It's all going down, man! So #$$x off, with your sofa units and your green stripe patterns. I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve and let the chips fall where they may. But that's me, I could be wrong, maybe it's a terrible tragedy.

Uh-oh. This is about to be hijacked by Fight Club quotes. Can I try one?:

TYLER/JACK: This conversation ... is OVER.

Sorry, but that thread would go on for, like, years. Someone had to do something.

I think we need a manifesto or something. Something that says, "We're not about fashion, we're not about whom we f***, we're not about what's popular this month. We're about setting our b***s free, 'cause we got 'em and we're not ashamed. If you don't like it, too damn bad."

I dunno. Whittle that down to 8 words and embroider it on a pillow or something.

Cool. I say we organize and call ourselves the International Army of Testicular Liberation!

I guess we would all be Privates. :grin:

I read a fair amount of the postings on that thread and, like many have noted here, was astonished at the homophobic, ill-informed and juvenile attitudes present. It begs the question: do they realize the prevailing perception US society has for males who are 'really into' fashion? Think Carson from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."

I find it hilarious that such macho lady-killin' studs are hanging out on style.com! Gosh, aren't they avant garde!

Just wait 'til GQ catches up with us and makes it "fashionable" for all men to wear kilts.

God I hope not.

I thought it was "cute" that one poster felt kilts were so ridiculous he wouldn't waste his time trashing us, then immediately posted to defend his wearing a silver ankle bracelet (mostly along the lines of "but it doesn't mean I'm gay"). I'll admit I've had a few chuckles perusing their posts and one or two of them *almost* prompted me to register for riposte purposes, but on the whole I felt such actions would be a waste of time. The ones who truly wanted to learn about kilts and XMarks would find their way here: the others would continue blithely along, secure in their own sense "fashion" and of self-imporatance.

Bryan...Question: if you insist on being at the forefront of Fashion, are you truly a trendsetter, or merely more consumed by the Concept of Style than your peers?...

LOL!

The rest of you already pretty much summed things up. They're uninformed, insecure, and not much fun to drink with. Who wants to be a boring, average, trouser-wearing guy anyways?

[furrycelt]

Yikes that forum is rife with ignorance! I do like what the former UtiliKilt employee said:

and when it comes right down to it most guys just don't have the balls to wear something they don't see 50 other guys wearing each day.

I think that such fora are NOT a good representation of the average person. Though there were some classic examples of typical male insecurity on display there. All the more reason for us here to go about our day kilted.
