Kilts @ H&M

[thescot]

Not sure I understand the level of hostility being expressed toward potential purchasers, and I personally don't find it becoming. . . .

There is a great difference between hostility and disdain or dismissal. The outfit shown is akin to the things one sees on the runways of high fashion designers made of feathers and celophane. I don't really care to see them either; they're just silly looking. I was not being hostile; it was a high level of dimissive laughter. Lighten up.

I personally don't find the outfit becoming, and do not think it a kilt. In fact it is identical to an outfit my granddaughter (aged 2 1/2) wears which also has pleats in the front and leggings, only hers is not black and lacks that sassy, flirtatious slit up the side. Ooh, lah, lah.

Still looks like girl clothes.

Wadded underthings on the part of anyone who equates any "unbifurcated" garment with a kilt does not make it a kilt either. And there is, as was once clearly stated on the home page of this site, a huge difference between kilts and skirts. Reductio ad absurdum of a rather innocuous off-handed comment does not make the comment hostile.

And if anyone wants to cross dress, I'll certainly stand up for his right to do so--have at it. I don't care. But it's not necessarily wise or correct to inaacurately assign lack of tolerance to another, especially one who practices tolerance on an daily basis. Perhaps a lack of tolerance for folks who don't share your own opinion is a proper subject for introspection. But that's another thread.

Here's what it says on our homepage: "This is not a forum for men looking to wear womens clothing nor is it a forum for other types of men's un-bifurbricated garments."
