We had a very good example of discrinination in a thread just in the last week or two.
Do a search here for threads on "The Question" & "Kilt Lifting".
Then take a note pad, your kilt, and go to the Student Union and stand in the hall and ask everyone you can find;
"Why is it perceived to be acceptable to ask a man in a kilt 'The Question' or lift his kilt, when it is Sexual Assualt to do the same to a woman.(or even a man in trousers)"

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

Good idea. Nice way to gather scientific (or really pseudo-scientific) data. You'll have good things to say either way in support of your position or in opposition to it. Also, you might do a brief historical background and refer to the prohibition in the 18th century. I know it was about more than "just kilts" but it was discrimination nonetheless, and set a strong precedence in some ways.

It wasn't just kilts, it was any tartan material

Clarification: In the Highlands, not in the Lowlands and not in the Highland Regiments of the British Army.
