Progress???

[GMan]

Hell-o all,

Do you feel that we have made progress in educating the masses about Kilts? Are we spinning our wheels? Do we react differently to those odd comments? Are we better off than where we were six months ago, a year or more?

Are we supposed to be doing something? :confused:


- besides having fun, being comfortable, being creative



And having to explain . . .
"Why are you wearing that skirt?"

Well, on second thought, I guess we are.

If the numbers of "new members" (myself included), I must say progress s being made!!

However s l o w l y . . .

Your usual thought-provoking post Glen.

I feel I've made a lot of progress personally in nearly three years of full time kilt wearing, and local people are now well accustomed to me kilted. Whether many others have been influenced to wear the kilt now, well I'm not too confident there.
Those that do have a kilt still think it's for "special occasions" only.

Do my eyes deceive me? Has the great one returned?

To answer the question posed... Yes, I think I'm doing something. I wear kilts full time and no longer get comments around town. Also, I educate people every time they come into the shop!

Are we making progress? Sure, but it is SLOW.

No individual here is going to change society completely, but we can each do our part by educating the people we meet.

First of all, good to see you back, Graham. Secondly, I still haven't seen another kilt wearer in my area outside of the highland games, or in a resturant nearby when the games were in progress.

I think this is largley dependant on regional attitudes. People who live in a larger, more metropolitan area are usually going to be more open to different ideas and be more comfortable with individual expression than a smaller town that has less outside influence. Generally speaking.

Well Glen, by no means were we the only help or even the majority but we did contribute to this one -- Two Words: Nathan Warmack

A little here and a little there and soon you have a snowball.
