To compare women wearing kilts to having a "right" to wear a kilt is going a bit overboard. If you want to wear one, wear one. There's no need to make a civil liberty's case out of this topic. And absolutely, I don't want to see the kilt caught up in a civic or social revolution that would compromise the heritage that most of us value (heritage of Scottish revolution aside).

Also, women wearing kilts does nothing to further the cause of men wearing kilts. Thanks anyway Maddona.

We all have our own reasons for wanting to wear the kilt. The fact that we ourselves can hardly define what is and isn't a kilt by any standard is proof enough that it is a futile debate.

Most people, including those among us, will see a person wearing a tartan skirt and look at it in appreciation. It will be the overall appearance that tells us initially if it is a kilt or kilted skirt. Whether the person is dressing to give a feminine appearance or a masculine appearance will be our first impression of if it is a kilt or kilted skirt.

It's not accurate to think women will choose a kilt because of the comfort it provides because the comfort a kilt provides men is irrelevant to women. Women currently have unlimited options for loose fitting skirts that look fantastic on them, many of them in plaids. Kilt or not, Women will still squat and kneel with their legs together, men will not. They will still wear clothes that accentuate their figures, kilt or not.

The choice for a women to wear a kilt(ed-skirt) is beyond the realm of the things I control in my domain But I know the impression the wearer presents to the viewer is what will make the final determination as to whether it is a kilt or kilted skirt.
