Actually both you guys are right, but in a sense, it is a bit of tilting at windmills.
I don't think it is fair to analyze someone and make any kind of judgement about them with just the internet and this forum as support for that. We tend to forget that all inflection, and body language is lost. Inferences can be made that ain't necessarily so, and feeling het hurt!
The problem is todays society wants everything pigeonholed, or cubicled as it were, Khakis, oxford shirt, laced shoes. Or maybe, suit and tie is the uniform and expected status quo for those who don't actually have to wear a real uniform.
Wearing of the kilt makes one unique anomg a non kilt wearing culture, a culture that, I might add, includes Scotland. How does one claim to wear it to celebrate cultural diversity when the culture one is celebrating doesn't, for the most part, wear them eiher? It makes some people uncomfortable to have people around them be different in any way. This applies to most any and everything, look at religions and their psychotic need to convert everyone.
I don't wear mine all the time, but I wear it because it means something special to me, so I wear it at special times. I would rather it be uncommon then common! It makes one unique!
