This is regarding a move which I will call the "pleat control maneuver".

This is executed by a man when he is wearing a kilt, a strong wind appears, and the back of his kilt goes flying up in the air. Wanting to maintain modesty and be considerate of others, he reaches back and controls his pleats so they are covering his posterior as the pleats were intended to do.

Now, more than once someone on this forum has suggested that the "pleat control maneuver" is very feminine and that one should just let the pleats fly and not be concerned what you are showing to the world.

I tend to disagree on this point. REGARDLESS of what I am wearing under my kilt, I would like to think that the world does not want to be looking at my butt and I think the "pleat control maneuver" is no more feminine than the "butt sweep maneuver" and that it is just another required exercise that goes along with kilt wearing.

What do the rest of you think?
Form follows function. There's a reason women do certain things with their skirts - because they work! If you don't want to show your a$$, do the same thing they do. I don't worry too much when the front apron blows, because all that shows is an upper thigh, but I don't plan on showing the world my white cheeks either.
