Almost in trouble

[Jimmy the Celt]

It's very curious that some women feel they can kilt-check a man, and be expected to laugh it off, or be tittilated perhaps. However, there is no question that if a man were to lift a woman's skirt, we risk being sued, arrested, or derided as a pervert (or all of the above).

It seems to me that if women want equal rights, we ought to be able to look up any lassie's skirt, or ask about her underwear without any consequence; but that is absurd. We do not treat women that way out of respect and propriety. So how is it different for a woman to treat a man that way?

The kilt does draw attention at times (though most don't seem to even notice) because kilted chaps are not a common sight today. But does the "novelty" of seeing a kilted bloke over ride the sense of respect and propriety that we should have for others? Apparently, some think so, but it doesn't seem right.

Having said that, I haven't been asked "the question" yet (being kilted less than a week), but a good response is to say something like, "I beg your pardon?" It may be fun to joke around a bit, and that's okay in some cases, but it seems rude to me to ask about whether or not you are wearing undergarments; afterall, when is the last time you asked a strange woman if they are wearing knickers? (If you were drunk it doesn't count )

So maybe next time you are in that situation, you should slap the girl on the *** and ask, "Are you wearing a thong?" [edit] I'm sure you all probably realize that was meant tongue in cheek; I think that illustrates the point well. [edit]
