For sure a parallel...except that when women go braless men, dripping testosterone, get a view of the change. Women however, actually see less when a man is kilted.

One of the weird things I notice when I go back to wearing pants to work - particularly Dockers type slacks - I feel "exposed" like my package is there for viewing. In a kilt my package is FREE but well hidden.

In my quest to be able to wear kilts to work I often invoked the parallel between women first wearing pants to work back when and men wearing kilts to work now. Freedom to choose was working for the women in pants thing and the reactions then seem identical to the reactions now - on both sides of the issue. Sadly, there's little about the women to pants times posted on the Internet. Ancient history. Probably need to root around libraries for old books and magazines from those times.

Kilts are both FREE and modest.

But it cuts both ways.

Woman in a regular bra - you can't see evidence of her nipples. We know they are there, but you can't tell by looking.

Woman without a bra - you can usually tell by looking that she was issued the standard equipment by the Creator.

Man in a kilt - you can't see evidence of his package. We know its there, but you can't tell by looking.

Man in slacks - you can usually tell by looking that he was issued the standard equipment by the Creator and which side he "dresses" on.

The irony - the braless woman is free and the evidence is visible while the kilted man is also free and the evidence is hidden.

Its the same but different...
