Galant, forgive me if I made the impression that I think that people should go about their day relying solely on their convictions, and that they shouldn't take into consideration the feelings of others. I meant nothing of the sort. Surely no one here would think that to do wrong in general would be a good idea. I don't think anyone would think it a good policy to take up a cause with the sole intent on causing trouble and unrest.

Instead, my point was that truth is truth. Even if out of a thousand people, 999 said that the sky was green, we couldn't, as the one thousandth, agree with them even to appease the masses. The same goes for the masculinity of kilts. If the mass of the population declares them feminine, does that contradict what we know to be the truth of the matter? Should we go along and care about the popular opinion of a subject when we know that the popular opinion is wrong? Or would we instead stick to our guns about the subject?

In short, I didn't mean that all things are androgenous, and dependant on their gender from those that make use of them even though I didn't explain it very well. But instead I mean that since we produce the masculinity ourselves that no one can take it from us, no matter how many may disagree. And all we need to do to keep the things we know to be masculine intact, is to not let ourselves be flummoxed into thinking otherwise by those that would want to take it from us. And it was those questions about what makes something what it is that I was trying to address.

I'm sorry for the confusion.
