I've seen in several threads (particularly one about
what not to do in a kilt) people mentioning things
men do to look silly in a kilt. I find it particularly
amusing that folks here can be so defensive
about wearing a kilt, then deride others for
wearing a kilt in a fashion different than their
own.

Comments about how silly looking is a kilt too
short or long, sound so much like how silly
a man looks in a "skirt." Pretty much a case
of the pot calling the kettle black.

Those men who wear cowboy boots and hats with
their kilts get more respect from me, because they
are brave enough to violate the rules of "kilt fashion"
as much as they are to violate any other fashion rules.
Being the non-conformist I am, I don't expect everyone
(or anyone for that matter) to approve of how I look.
If I don't like how someone else looks, it is just a
matter of being something I won't do myself. I still
respect their choice and courage to do it.

So anyway, its funny that people who are supposed
to be showing their security by wearing a kilt, are
acturally showing their insecurity by poking fun at
how some else wears a kilt differently.
