We have gone round-and-round here on this topic and while it is true that a kilt is technically a man's skirt, calling a kilt is a skirt would be like calling a tuxedo a mere suit or calling a diamond a stone.

The fact is, there is a difference between a kilt and a woman's skirt and when idiots choose to contemptuously and mockingly label your kilt a skirt, they are not trying to be technical, literal or precise; they are trying to disparage the wearer (as being a transvestite) by demeaning the kilt as being a common women’s skirt.

My usual response is “If you prefer to call my kilt a skirt, because it turns you on (to think of me in a skirt), then knock yourself out!”
