Friendly discrimination? Kilt length.
I am seeing a fairly high level of discrimination with kilt length. On this forum you can have a kilt made out if viscose dipped in teflon, and it's OK. You can wear tartan or solid colors, and it's OK. You can wear work boots, gillies, or sandals, and it's OK. BUT when it comes to kilt length if it's an inch above the knee your wearing a skirt, and if it's an inch below your wearing a granny dress? Aren't all the above mentioned things personal preference? Shouldn't we all stick together no-matter how long are kilts are, an inch above the knee or an inch above the ankle does it really matter. This is about comfort for you, not others. If we listened to the "others" none of us would be kilted at all would we.
When you talk to nudists they say that they enjoy the freedom from the fashion industry. In your skin your you, not an ad for Nike or Calvin Klein. They then go on to pick on the flaws of others, "Did you see how hairy his back is" "That is a huge scar she has".
We have already broken away from "traditional" kilt wearing. Why are we hanging on to one last idea?
Just something to think about.
