Kilted at work today...

[Perldog007]

AKG well done! each of us that works kilted brings the rest that much closer.

Ayin - if your circumstances permit, and you want to open a new frontier, wear the kilt to work. If they do anything in response you don't much approve of - call the ACLU.

When you talk to the ACLU DON'T SAY KILT OR HERITAGE. Tell them you are a man who wears skirts because that is who you are and your employer is discriminating against you because of it. (true statement after all, all kilts are skirts, all skirts are not kilts).

When I was challenged by management for kilting at work, I told them the above was my retirement plan. I get so much management support for my wardrobe you wouldn't believe it.

Now my situation is different from most. I don't have much of a job to lose. I have no mortgage. I work so I can drive a car (to work mostly?) and have little extras. My wife is a state employee with great benefits. I was prepared to be canned.

I was also prepared to go to the ACLU and cry about being a persecuted man in a skirt.

If the ACLU discriminates between kilties and cross-dressers, well they will have just defecated in their own nesting location.

But back to our man in ALaska! For so many men (women in kilts just don't draw the same attention in my experience) they would be accepted in the workplace. You need the courage to ask and the courage to do it.

Thank you for the input. I had never thought of taking the stance of "I'm just a man in skirt".

I agree though that I probably won't pick this fight with my work though, unless i'm ready to be canned. Which I, like most people, can't afford to have happen. Should the day come though. My arsenal is now a bit more full thanks to the suggestions.
