NOT kilted at work -- your thoughts, please?

Ain't it a shame though?

At the core is the freedom of females to choose between a wide range of bifurcated or unbifurcated garments in the workplace while some weird convention denies males the same freedom of choice.

Why is it an issue?

Thank you to those men who are bit by bit, step by step, risking in the workplace and helping make kilts a legitimate choice for men in the workplace.

It is a shame. I used to think we had resolved most of these issues in the 1970s but clearly not. It seems in fact like there has been a backslide on many fronts.

I certainly support the notion that employers have certain rights and expectations when it comes to employee dress and this makes for an area that will always be somewhat murky. I suspect that the discomfort many people have with "different" is the basis of most of the problem, as others have already noted.

Wearing a kilt to work isn't something I see myself doing except for maybe a rather special occasion. It would be impractical for my primary setting, an Emergency Department. I tend to think it would be a distraction for patients in the other, which BTW is also a Community Mental Health organization (makes three of us with ties to CMH in this thread!).

amendment: I do not mean to imply that I think it would be a distraction for anybody else's situation, just my own.
