Air Traffic Control Manager Prohibits Kilt

And to add to this a bit,,,, a female co-worker a couple of days ago wore a kilt to work and nothing was said to her except that it looked good. This is an example of the diversity and equality stuff the governement preaches but ignores.

Why is it okay for a woman to wear a kilt and not a man? And, the lame reason I have heard is that a kilt is a dress. Oh really?

But was she wearing a male kilt or a tartan dress female version?

I didn't see it. She told me it was a kilt. I suppose it is possible she didn't properly describe it.

If you have Scottish ancestry, you could always play the "heritage" card.

As a DoD civilian, I know that you would have a REAL hard time fighting the bureaucracy. I'm lucky in that I can wear my kilt from time to time without any hassle, although I don't know what the reaction would be if I tried to wear it every day.

Even if you did want to fight it, you would quickly be labeled a troublemaker, and that is certainly not good for your career.
