Best of all possible arguments

First let me say that this server really sucks. That said:

Gentlemen, how often have you heard the question: Why? Let me suggest that you bring out the matter of male sexual health right off the bat. It is not arguable that the male testes only function properly at a temperature of 95 F, or slightly lower. After all, why else are they hanging out there in the breeze, the very breeze thay can not enjoy when crammed into a pair of Levi's? But if outward appearance (i.e. conforming to some clueless idiot's idea of what a man is) is more important than actual function (which it is to 95% of the male population) then go ahead and strangle the boys. It won't matter to you anyway since you never did have a genuine male perspective..

That said, I have to ask the question: What the hell, gentelmen? Are you more interested in your manhood, or in conformation to a 'societal norm' that is designed to emasculate you?

Fresh air, gentlemen. Accept no substitutes.

I've said before that I'd heard similar prior to my buying a kilt, and being able to empathise, I decided to give it shot - pre-kilt: occasional testicular ache and pain. Post-kilt: Not had it. It might show up because it was only form time to time, but it hasn't so far!

Oh, and on the subject of testicular health - Rachel gets fruity!

Thanks, I was getting ready to leave work, and now I have to stay a few minutes longer.

Yeah, but why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel about it... ;)

Because I am excessively modest, of course.

That's right. Anyone who ever wears a pair of pants is a repressed, spineless, gutless asexual excuse for a human being who is utterly incapable of thinking for themselves and succumbs to the slightest pressure without a second though.....NO exceptions. Ever.

The ONLY men who are ***Real Men*** (insert trumpet flourish and the screams of debauched women, here) are those that wear kilts and flip off the entire world about it an on daily basis. If you can talk smack about those excuses for men who wear pants, that makes you that much more of a ***Real Man***.

>>>>Can you detect the tongue in cheek, here?<<<<

I have a question or two for all the "ONLY kilt-wearers are Real Men" crowd.

Does the shape of the cloth around someone's hips define who's a man and who isn't, or do attitudes, integrity, honesty, courage, kindness and open-mindedness define a Man? If a man decides to wear pants because he just DECIDES to wear pants, who are you to tell him he can't, or tell him he's a spineless wuss for making a decision different from yours?

I wear kilts. I'm wearing one, today to work. Yesterday I wore pants. Tomorrow I'll be kilted. On sunday I'll be wearing pants. So, what gives??? Today I'm a Real Man, and tomorrow I'm a Real Man, but on Sunday, I lose my Real Manhood to a piece of cloth that says Levi Strauss on it??

My genitals have been entirely happy and gotten their occasional workouts just fine in all the decades I wore pants. Now I wear kilts 2-3 days a week, and I don't notice that somehow my manhood has become greatly exaggerated because of that. Kilts are great. I dig 'em. I thoroughly enjoy wearing mine. I'm a kilt addict and lust for more of them, like everybody told me I was going to. They're fantastic on hot days.

But kilts, alone, don't define who I am.

If we as kilt-wearers suggest to the world that a dose of open-mindedness about what we choose to wear is in order, then should'nt we apply that same standard to ourselves, and not blanket-attack people who happen to choose to dress differently than we do?

I draw the line at miniskirts! EEeeeewwwwwwww.

**Bob C** · 17th June 05, 05:24 PM

Mini-skirts would pose another problem.

Well, for SOME of us, anyway...

**davedove** · 17th June 05, 05:28 PM

I think Alan is right here. Perhaps the sentiment should be that only "Real Men" would choose to wear a kilt, but sometimes they might choose to wear pants. All the other men who are slaves to society's norms would always wear pants. I personally wear a kilt at times to stand out from everyone else. Sometimes I wear my cowboy boots and hat for the same reason. The main thing is that I choose what I'm wearing, not society.
