You certainly do not have to be Scottish to wear a kilt

I found this article in New Vision, Uganda's leading website.

By Elvina Nawaguna

I think they look very smart and from the article, very proud of their kilts.

Quite so. However, it would be nice if our influence just went a tad further and gave them a spot of advice on how to wear them.

I'm glad they enjoy their kilts too. As for the article, I'm afraid I wasn't very fond of it. I found it rather poorly written. It banged on FAR too much about the questionable masculinity of kilts, pretty much stating flatly that from a distance they look like girls.

Is he insane? Is he a sissy? Or did he get robbed of his trousers and only found a girl willing to lend him her skirt?

I think that for all the statements like this one that the article made, it really turned the boys into a freak show for the author's readers to laugh at more than anything... And in that I am very disappointed. Old article though. This was back in 2005.

This unfortunately is what we kilt wearers have to put up with due to Tr@user tyranny, which we must fight against. If the article was writen by a kilt wearer, it would have been different.
