"Kilt check" question

[Highlander31]

Like Zardoz, I have been kilt checked at the Renfaires, and sometimes at the games. It is always been polite and in good fun. I have not had a woman I didn't know ever lift my kilt. What I usually get is a woman wanting to have her picture taken with me and she will slide her hand down the back of my kilt. Some offer an explanation, "I was just straightening your pleats".

I did have one man try to lift my kilt in a pub. He was quite inebriated and I slapped his hand the first time. When he tried a second time, I used the pressure point near the clavicle to drop him to his knees. At that point everyone in the pub knew what he had tried to do. He was quiet the rest of the evening.

I wouldn't file charges for an unwanted kilt check. In today's times of Political Correctness, it could actually ruin somebody's life with a sexual predator label, at least here in the States that could be the end result (assuming you could get a district attorney to prosecute.) I'm willing to bet that most of us have done one or two stupid things when we were younger, which could have made life miserable if the other person involved wanted to push it. But that's just my opinion.

And who would have a problem with that? The couple of incidents I have experienced were out of left field and that was the problem, especially as I was piping at the time.

If I were single and a babe wanted to sidle up to me a check out the situation, why wouldn't I be into that? Standing in the middle of the bar and somebody's going to show the world what I don't wear under my kilt? Don't care how proud I am of what lies beneath, that ain't right.

You know, that happens to me now and then, those pleats do get outta whack sometimes!

Amen Z,...Amen.

I have never gotten angry. Almost got mad once because it was a man, and he grabbed the front, not the back. That was more scared than mad. I did not know what was gonna be next.

Weird, but I find when I am with people who are expected to be "bad" they tend to be respectful and ask first. It's the "prudes" who seem to take delight in unexpected lifting without asking first. Basically ... if I meet a woman with a skirt who would let me see what's under it, she will never look under without permission. Yet, if it's a woman who would never let me see her's she much more likely to grab, look, and run!

I also prefer to be asked so I can prepare myself. Sometimes I need to adjust a little before sharing a peek.

The only time I denied a request to look under was in a very public park where there were children. It just didn't feel right. She was quite insistent. I just could not do it.
