I asked her what men wear. When she pants, I asked her why it is that she can wear mens clothes, and that's fine, but I can't wear a kilt. All she said was "That's different."

I like that one! Of course, I like mine, as well...

You can't argue with that mentality. I worked in retail for a long time, and I learned many things there. One of which is, you cannot argue with stupid people. Sorry to be so harsh. But seriously, if she cannot come up with a more intelligent answer than that, it isn't worth arguing over. You might as well be trying to convince your dog that you are Abraham Lincoln.

Some people just don't understand such things. I guess it is the society we live in. Everything that is not seen normally is "outlawed" in people's worlds. I can stand the attention(though I dislike it), because I get attention when I'm not kilted anyways.
As for your situation, the only thing I can say is to keep trying to tell her. Try not to be offended or to offend. Situations like these are like like nuts, they're hard to crack but they can still be cracked.

My definition of stupidity is voluntary and intentional ignorance. You're no more harsh towards her than I am. I agree with you completely.
