Respectfully, it seems to me that if we wish the kilt to be universally accepted (and I'm not actually sure what the purpose of that is since I can wear it if I want to anyway) then imposing it in circumstances where it could cause grief or discomfort doesn't seem to me to be a very diplomatic way to do so. It's likely to cause resentment that could last into other circumstances. My tuppence.
