"Kilt check" question

[NewGuise]

Now back to the topic being kilt check - my comment was meant to instill the sense that I don't find offense in it because it is a common enough question.

I never have a problem with The Question, although I find it interesting - endlessly fascinating, even - that people do ask. When I'm wearing trousers, no one asks if I'm wearing socks, much less whether I'm wearing underwear, and the people who ask The Question are not always those whom I might expect to be curious or bold enough to ask. The Question says more about the Questioner than any answer could say about the person being asked.

A kilt check is different. And while (as noted in another message) I have been kilt-checked, both by men and by women, and remain unbothered by it on a personal level, I do understand why others see it as an assault, an unwarranted invasion of privacy, and thus try to respond in a way that, without demonstrating any sense of personal affront, nonetheless discourages the activity. And it seems to work.
