Male carriers in skirts

Now a man who can wear a "Skirt" is a true man! I love when the Scottish men wear their little kilts. Adorable!But only a man with compete confidence in his own sexuality could or would do this. I mean, look at Mel Gibson! ~Kim

like riding a Harley for a man. It is feeling the freedom, comfort and fun at same time. It is true that just a "true" man can wear a skirt, or call it kilt, whatever. Check out the spring fashion for men -Tom Browne and others, you'll find some interesting thoughts and kind of skirts for men. NY's Sartonalist is talking about too.

Charles Savoie---are the thin edge of the wedge.  But many men are not motivated by ethnic heritage, because they aren't Scottish.  There have been fireworks over the "is the kilt a skirt" question.  Sorry, anything that hangs from the waist and encloses legs together is a skirt, regardless of what specific sub category it pertains to.  Would these carriers wear a Greek fustanella?  It's often called a petticoat or a tutu.  Yet in Greece/Albania it's considered male.  Men have somewhat of a recognized right to wear a kilt or utilikilt.  But there are voices who want to limit progress.  It's like saying "Scotland is the only overseas destination a man can travel to."  Are women being suggested to wear only ONE trouser type?  There is tremendous variation in 2009 of ethnic skirts worn by men.  Kilts are the best known but this is not a basis for restricting men to that one style.  Everything that is tradition today was once innovation.  Innovation must not be forbidden.  Uniforms worn by 16th century Vatican Swiss guards as painted by Raphael in "The Mass At Bolsena" would be mistaken for dresses worn by women today if seen in window displays.  So many skirt varieties have been worn by men since ancient times, to try and restrict us to kilts (expensive) and utilikilts (slightly expensive) is outrageously irrational.  Am I against kilts?  No.  I am against voices who say, "hey, that's all the choice you can get."  Use by association does not render anything innately male or female.  More things are sex neutral than is commonly understood.  So give me a pleated plaid skirt with pleats across the front also---not any kilt.  See the fustanella in National Geographic back issues.  So different from kilts---and "frillier" yet worn by men.  I do seriously doubt that if kilts had never existed that any Scot today would innovate and create one.  No innovation, no progress.  No innovation = restrictions on human rights.
