    Are you suggesting that wearing of kilts is some sort of movement?... or are you talking about fashion freedom?

    ... We need to write to schools to enquire about their dress codes and to suggest that kilts should be allow to be worn for school and dances. This will open the eyes of the policy makers.
    Unless you are part of the school system of have a vested interest in it, you may just be perceived as a crank.

    ... Employers are tough...
    Employers are concerned about corporate image and anything else that might affect the bottom line... yes.

    ... We need to be the people in charge and lead with example. We gotta rally up the support of our coworkers and show our bosses that our kilts do not interfere with our daily work... etc.
    I'm not sure where you're going with this Raph...a few months ago you declared tht you had chosen not to wear kilts to work any more. Changed your mind?

    Anyway, there has always been and always will be discrimination based on peoples genital configuration. It's human nature. I don't believe for a minute that a few letters from us kilties is going to change anything.

    I don't know of any kilt wearer that hasn't had at least some challanges to overcome. Maybe it's a "rite of passage".
