One of the benefits of wearing a kilt is that your landing gear doesn't tie itself in a knot...well, unless you're wearing trunks underneath, and I'm pretty certain some of you are wearing trunks at the moment .

Do not confuse equal rights and equal respect with moral or social equivalency. It is simply absurd to claim that kilt-checking a man is equivalent to any similar action involving women and children.

That girl dressed to kill? Yes, she is looking for attention...but not from everyone.

Kilts are no different. I am not looking for attention from hambeasts or 22-stone rugby players, and my conduct in those scenarios will suggest to others what is or is not appropriate. Several excellent suggestions have already been posted, as far as responding to unwanted kilt checks.

It's worth keeping in mind that if you are wearing a kilt, it will happen as surely as any girl dressed sexy in a club knows that somebody, somewhere, sometime during the night, is going to grab some part of her body.

Don't be immediately crying to the cops because somebody lifted your kilt. The list of Registered Sex Offenders contains everything from child molesters and rapists, to people who were caught peeing in public...so if it's a single unexpected kilt check...find a more appropriate way to deal with the matter than using a nuclear weapon to squash an insect. Z's example of "2nd time, you get an ***-kicking and I drag you to the bouncer" is a good one.
