Lifting a Kilt

Double standard! I've had it happen to me, and I don't like it any more than a woman would like you lifting her skirt! It's bad enough that they think it's OK to ask whats under it.

SouthernScot was looking for a place to hide!

I noticed at the Great S.E.K.S. kilt night in Atlanta a week and a half ago that SouthernScot retreated to the bar when the drunken birthday girls were working up to doing a kilt check on Turpin.

In my brief stint in a pipe band, I was warned about all of the shows that we'd be doing on St. Patrick's day. It never happened to me, but I was ready with my response, just in case:

"See anything you like?"

I was minding my own business on my way into a renaissance festival a few years ago when my wife startled me by snaping out in an unusually firm voice "DON'T DO THAT!" I turned to see her glowering at two college age girls that had snuck up behind me and were about to lift my kilt. Needless to say, they made other plans after seeing my wife (who is normally sweet and soft spoken). I had no idea anything was happening until she got vitriolic. To be honest, I don't think I would have been very bothered if the girls had succeeded in their kilt check. I certainly don't approve nor think it appropriate, but I probably would have just shrugged it off. I know there is a double standard that isn't fair. However, I think the big difference in this situation is the potential for a threatening situation. I absolutely felt no threat or danger from two giggling college age girls. I could definitely understand if a woman felt threatened by a man lifting her skirt. It's a power thing. Again, I emphatically state that there is no excuse for anyone to perform a kilt check on anyone. It is rude, crass, and shabby. But I do understand why the double standard exists whether I agree with it or not.

I don't wear a kilt to get chicks. I've got a great one at home. So when someone other than my wife attempts to "answer the question," my first instinct is to defend myself against the sexual assault, which several have pointed out kilt lifting is, legally. An elbow, a knee, a steel-capped boot... any of these will get the point across.

I once wore a "kilt" to hight school... there was a guy that I was in drama club with who had a crush on me. He asked if I was man enough to wear the kilt the traditional way... I wasn't. But my response to him was, "are you man enough to find out?"

He lifted to mid-thigh before he conceded that I was more of a man.

The only other time I've had my kilt lifted was also by a guy... Tony Duggins from the Tossers. If he'd been any less drunk than he was, I'd have laid him out, right there in front of the crowd.

Can't comment, never had it done. If it does the surprise will probably cause me a heart attack (as will the rest of SOKS around me). Actually one kilt night I felt my hem lift a quick swish and and a raised eyebrowed look ended any further event good-naturedly.

Christmas night out, I had the same 2 women lift it a few times throughout the night. They could see that I was getting a bit tired of it and their response was "surely you must expect it" and "why was I wearing underwear." Whether I am a true Scotsman or not, I don't believe strangers have a right to see where the sun don't shine. On another occasion, outside a female kept pulling on it so hard as I resisted it was in danger of being damaged.
