When it is accepted, it will not be noticed.
A few weeks ago, the place I work was asked to participate in a Brest-Feeding In Public campaign. We didnt have to do anything, except offer the phampletts in our store, while outside, on a telepohone pole they put up a cardboard cut ouf that looked like a woman brest feeding. Thier slogan was something like "When breast feeding a baby in public is accepted, no one will notice"
That got me thinking. Idealy none of us want to be looked at as "the kilt guy". being reduced to somoething like that kinda makes the whole thing seem like a gimmick. A cry for attention. Even though we might all have diffrent, legitimate reasons for wearing a kilt, you have to be in a strong state of denial now adays not to think people will look at you diffrently (( Hell, I notice people and are taken a back a bit when I see another person in a Kilt in the real world, Ive only seen two in like 25 years).
The question for us is. Do we really want it to be so accepted that, much like pants, or blue tooth headsets, we dont even notice them. It would be like some guy next to you tapping you on the shoulder and whispering "Ceck out that guy, he's wearing cargo pants. Cargo pants? Hey, ask him if he's a porter on a boat, or ask him when the next boat down the congo is!***".
It just seems silly to say stuff like that.
Do we want to be that way though? Or is part of the fun. The dirty little bit of secret fun, is that to wear it, is to step outside a little bit from the crowd, so people look at you?
*** Note: I dont know where cargo pants came from. I am assuming something to do with ships and what not
