So, as I have mentioned before, I have a few friends who have a very strong anti-kilt mentality. And even though I don't actually have my kilt yet, it still comes up fairly often and we have some rather interesting arguments.
Well, on wednesday, IV (a college group we all belong to) held the annual bonfire in order to welcome incoming students. I was there working the fire, and meeting some of the new people, when one of my kilt hating friends started making jokes about my mental stability. OK, so maybe I was moving burning logs with my bare hands, but no harm no foul, right?
So in response, I mentioned that she was the one who had an irrational fear of men's clothing (specifically, kilts). She replied "men shouldn't wear a dress" and immediately, four guys who were standing around the fire objected, and began to grill her about her disrespect for kilts. One of them even corrected me when I jokingly said that "it's not a dress, it's a skirt"
I was really quite surprised. Up until now all I had heard from people around here was curiosity ("why would you want to wear a kilt?") or rejection ("kilts are morally wrong and evil") so when four total strangers stood up for the kilt, I almost didn't believe it.
I'm not even wearing a kilt yet and already the response is positive.
