Customize your car or your room or whatever belongs to you but leave what belongs to history alone. It doesn't belong to you to change. If you want to wear a Kilted Skirt then wear one, they're much cheaper than a traditional tank anyway.
This is just a variation of an old arguement between traditionalists and modernists; one that has been argued many times on this board and doesn't really need to be rehashed.
Your statement
"Slowly but surely even X-Marks is changing. It seems that many on this site wanted to wear the kilt for one reason or another whether it was pride in their heritage or just to be different and get away from the day to day commonly accepted tradition of wearing pants only for men.
identifies the problem, and it existed when you got here; the people who want "just to be different" have no strong tie to tradition, so the "rules" have never meant a great deal to them. To complain about them now fails to recognise that they were here before you wre.
Ever see this before?

That was the premise upon which this site was founded. To imply that custom is set in stone just relegates the kilt back to costume status.
