Right here, in the same thread, we have two totally divergent stories about how men respond to kilts. Luckily, Hospitaller's gentleman was just that, a gentleman (a big one at that) and the norm. This other sniveling coward is obviously low on self-esteem if he has to aggrandize himself in a restaurant by calling a traditionally manly garment a dress; luckily he's in the minority. With all of society's problems, why choose to take issue with the manner in which someone is dressed? Only a sociopath would do that. Too bad you didn't have the opportunity to do the Hiemlich maneuver on him....then you could have said, "How does it feel to have your life saved by a man in a dress?". LOL!
