A mixture of wrongs.

Firstly the artist has portrayed an abysmally short kilt which also appears to pleated all the way around.

Secondly a lady precedes a gentleman upon ascending and the other way around when descending so that he may catch her should she fall.

But such shocking scenes of horror are truly difficult to reproduce in a real life situation.

Unfortunately, there are way too many people in this world who only embrace diversity if it's THEIR definition of diversity, which typically isn't very diverse at all.

A much less bitter of way of putting than I came up with.

Good for you, to tell you the truth, everything sounds about normal. As a full time kilt wearer I have had to deal with people who just do not get it. If any of them were to make disparaging comments and continue in their mission to demean me, rest assured my manager and the HR dept. would hear about it.

It must be the way that I wear my kilt? But yesterday, while I was working the polls for Super Tuesday at my Lodge, I only got one comment from an individual that wanted to know what the tartan was. I think that if you wear the kilt with style and confidenace most all the reactions will be positive.

Those that smiled told me that I looked good and congratulated me on being comfortable enough in myself to do this.

That comment came from some one on the Support team? Not to good on the SUPPORT? Like you said, Now you know who to take advice from.

I fully intend to keep the moral high ground on this. I've had wonderful comments and from groups that I wasn't expecting them. I may even ask at the end of the week if there would be problems with me wearing kilts at other times. Our Hr manager certainly seems to like it, she always goes bright red and giggles like a little girl when she sees me walk by.
