kilt lifters

[cwr89]

I've only ever had a man try to pull up the back. I actually impressed myself at the speed a sgain can come out of my hose... course, the sgain was a cheepo $5.99 from a Chinese import(no edge).

anywho, only made it 3 inches above my knees. I wear boxers under most o' the time, cause when I wear it, I am at work or school. this time I was at work, the man, (coworker who is a practical jokester and known pesterer) was quickly informed it was a secret tradition that was passed down from father to father, and kept inside of a family. I don't think he got the joking, but I didn't think it appropriate to be flashing people on the sales floor.
best part is, he later told me that he wouldn't be caught dead in a kilt. I simply replied "I guess your no where man enough".

He also tried to have my "whittle 'n chip" from scouting revoked. the "whittle 'n chip" is a card that every boyscout earns when they go through a knife and axe safety course. really funny however, since I am the teacher and person who signs off/revokes them in my troop.

I actually have never heard the question. I've only heard statements, "your wearing something under there right" and "you better have something on under there". no one has ever even asked my why I am wearing it.

*now feeling a bit sad at the jokes I wish I could have made*
oh well.

Haven't had this unfortunate experience yet, though this is a very informative thread. lots of good responses to such attempts.

Just realize that it WILL happen someday and for the most part, it's not a big deal. It all depends upon you, your mood and the attitude of the person who wants to see. I have grabbed the wrist of a woman who had my apron a few inches up before I realized it. She didn't ask and I didn't offer. She got the same stern "NO" that my dog gets when he tries to get up on the couch. She got all pissy and stormed away. If she'd just asked....

I've had women ask if they could see what was under "there" whilst out on the town and if they're polite and it's all in fun, I tell them that for a round of drinks for my friends and I, they can have a peek under the pleats. Most will back off, but a few will gladly pay up. Again, it all depends on your personality, where you are, your mood and the attitude of the person asking. It's really not that big of a problem for me and I just think it comes with wearing a kilt. Others disagree, and that's fine. After all, it is YOUR **** under there.

Men on the other hand....I've had it happen twice, one was stopped with a glare and a subtle shaking of my head. The other I asked if I could do the same to his wife. He stopped.

Actually, there was one other time, but it was a woman who lifted it for the men. I was in Chicago on an extremely cold, windy day and there were a group of guys behind us, two couples I found out after we chatted. Mother Nature lifted the pleats as high as they'd go for a few seconds. Lynn caught it out of the corner of her eye and, um...assisted. I looked over my shoulder and said "sorry about that I wasn't quick enough to catch it." I have to admit it was a bit weird knowing I'd inadvertently flashed 4 gay men, but we all had a good laugh about it. No harm done.

One must be secure in their masculinity and have a thick skin to wear a kilt. It's your choice, I'm just not bothered by it, must be the rugby parties.

Well, there is a Kilt Lifter Ale, a microbrew sort of thing distributed through the DuClaws chain in the States. Not bad, not great - I think "Inoffensive" would, ironically, be the best description for the taste.

"Whittle and chip"? "Knife and axe safety course"...? What have the Boy Scouts come to of late? When I was a Scout way back in the 60's we all knew about knives and axes and carried our shooters with us on camping trips. The Boyscout Jamboree was awash with these things and I don't remember having to take any courses for them....?

I read thru this thread, sometimes with a small smile. I have only just gotten into world of kilts and kilt wearers so kilt lifters is a realativily new thing to me. I have seen women try to sneek a peek and am moritfied. I would never think of asking what a man is wearing under his kilt. That's just not lady-like (as mentioned in more than a few posts). Now, i am not a prude by any stretch of thought, but anyone who would take that kind of liberty deserves what ever consequence of their actions. On the other hand, I have had offers to show me what it means to be regimental. Oh My!

It's not really a course, more of a control factor. The Whittlin Chip and Totem Chip (for Cubs & Boy Scouts respectively) were created to give rules to handling a knife. It added some respect to the use of the object as a weapon. After so many cubs and boys were stabbing or cutting each other it had to be done. After the small instruction and quiz over the material, the card is given. If an infraction of the rules occurs a corner of the card is cut off. after 4 infractions, the card is destroyed, and the scout has to start all over again.

And I've been on campouts where you see young kids with knives and are like "what in the world.???....".

Just not gonna happen...no man and not even the most beautiful lass will make it happen. Some tried but nobody made it much further as touching my kilt. Mostly a simple but convincing: "DON'T!!!" works fine. Slapped a few hands, grabbed some wrists and a couple of backward kicks.
I never even discuss the "issue" and something like "show me yours and I'll show mine" is out of the question (some girls might just do that).
When the kilt goes up because of a wind gust, so be it...not a big deal, but nobody (including myself) will lift my kilt.

"Of course I'm wearing it right." And, "or worse, under where?"

I may have answered before, but I was just thinking about a time when a guy I know tried to pull mine up. It was St. Patty's Day, and as I passed, he reached out with his shelaleigh (sp?) and pulled up the selvage. I whipped around when I realized the cold blast was due to lack of wool and popped his stick with my own cromach and made my stare tell the story.

Now if a lady really wants to look or perhaps just feel, well, we might work something out.

Another time, a young punk tried to lift it, and I also had the sgiean dubh out, assuring him that he was welcome if he really was man enough. It was mostly in fun, but he wisely decided not to see how manly he was.

Ah,the rigors of being a sex object!
