The issue is somewhat difficult when you talk about a more traditional tartan, three-buckle closure kilt. The difference between that and a woman's kilt skirt is clear to most of us, but not to most other people. However, when you start making changes to the trad kilt like velcro closures, lighter weight fabric, less material and so on, it starts getting tough to tell the difference in any way except the cut and shaping.

Now, take a non-tartan kilt like Utility kilt or Freedom kilt and the differences between them and a skirt gets REALLY blurry, if you ask me. However, that doesn't bother me very much.

Honestly, while it's a really good question...or rather, the BIGGER question of "is there anything left in society that is inherently male?" is a good question... The "is it a skirt or a kilt?"" issue for me is irrelevant. It wasn't irrelevant until I started wearing one and was forced to really think about it. When I was **considering** wearing one, it was extremely relevant! Just go look at my posts on Xmarks of two months ago! The upshot is, I'll wear what I darned well please, and THAT independence of mind is what I consider to be male. What the shape of the piece of cloth that I wear around my loins is like seems to me somewhat irrelevant.

For that matter, women should have the same outlook. They should wear what THEY darned well please. It's not the CLOTHING that's being "taken from men" if you like to look at it that way. It's the independence of thought that's being removed. THAT is worth fighting for. Oh yeah....THAT is more than worth fighting for.

I'd say it this way. If the girls want to join the Boy Scouts, then how come the boys don't want to join the Girl Scouts? If women file suit to join a men's club, then how about a few men file suit to join the local women's club? You know...just on principle.

Anyway, this is just me, I know a whole lot of men don't feel this way at all.
