    To echo what Bear just posted, most men are not men enough to live their lives their ways. Instead, most still chase the dreams given to them by their forefathers. Kilt Wearing is definately a way for us to express our individuality and freedom to choose.

    Lots of guys come up to me and said that I gotta have balls to wear a kilt. Well, It's true. I have them. This is the confidence that empower me when I am outside of the house.

What some women fear is men looking and acting like men, without fear of reprisals. They fear men and try to control men, to make them into the sheep that most men have become.

    Men do not naturally behave like women. They are biologically programmed to be men. How could they act like women? Force men to act like women and you psychologically screw them up and cause stress. Not letting natural stress relieving actions happen because boys and girls are treated with the same female based rules is also very unhealthy and causes resentment by boys towards girls.

    I think it has gotten so bad that many people, men and women, actually believe that:
    • Men and women are the same
    • Men are not bigger, stronger, faster
    • Women's brains do not have a larger corpus callosum
    • There are not two genders instead of one unisex model

    Sports is another bee in my bonnet. "It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game" has been bastardised into "Winning is not important."
    What was supposed to be "play with honour" has changed into "play to the level of the slowest boy."

    Competition is very important for boys. It is how they discover where they stand in the tribe. It doesn't have to be physical competition. It can be scholarly, too.

    I could go on and on but I'll leave you with this thought:
    A lot of women are fascinated with men in kilts. Not because of what the guy looks like, but because he is proudly proclaiming he is a man.
    Ya Bear! Ya! You have got me standing proudly in front of my computer yelling at the top of my lungs, "I am all that is MAN!". I think the dog is all that heard me, but he was very impressed.
    Men are Men, so acted like a G_d dam Man, Man!
    Bear, I love you Man, in a Man friend type of way Man.
    So here's to being Men and all the drinks that go along with it. I look forward to Kilt NIght on the 4th, as I think all us Men (and heahter) will have a smash up time. Cheers!!!!!!

    PS. Bear, your the Man, Man!

    Here's a link to an article that discusses how long hair and beards have for thousands of years been a mark of independence, and that requiring men to shave or cut their hair short has long been a symbol of domination and servitude. It's an interesting read.

    I'm not real clear about posting a link, so if it doesn't show up correctly, my bad, just cut and paste.

    Oliver, I've seen that one myself. In fact, I had a chance to meet Bill Choisser last month here in the Seattle area. Discussed my family problems with him...

    Oh great. If I wear my kilt often enough, I'm going to be even more hairy? I already have about 50x more body hair than is socially acceptable, but after a bad 2nd degree burn from "Epil Stop and Burn", I learned the value of self appreciation very quickly.

    So, I'm going to be even hairier, have testosterone oozing from my pores, aggressive as a silver back gorilla, and probably sound like one. Sounds like I better get used to bachelorhood. :o

    Talking of hair and reasons to wear kilts, I have a problem although to some it may not be...I have no hair on my legs, it's gone.
    Reason?

    I believe years of tight jean simply wore them away, it's strange because I am quite hairy elswhere (apart from a wee baldness).

    Wearing shorts and kilts for a couple of years has brought a modest return of hair, but not much.

    Some of our friends at Toms who shave their legs may not think it's a problem

    Bubba, I have more than enough hair on the rest of my body that I'm not going to worry about some bare spots on my legs. 8) .
