Women in Kilts?

[KiltedKnight]

I think a part of it, for her anyways, is the heritage. We (as in members of Xmarks) know that you don't have to be scottish to wear a kilt, and you don't have to wear a kilt to be scottish. But I think in her mind theres really not much a woman can do to proudly display her scottish heritage.

"Heritage" is an excuse that cannot possibly work. For a woman to claim that she wants to wear a man's kilt for the sake of her heritage flies right in the face of the very defintion of the word. I won't go into writing the entire definition because I'm sure we all have a dictionary but it deals with the way things are and should be, not how someone wants them to be. A woman's Scottish heritage would have to do with what feminine articles women wore, not wanting to wear a man's kilt, so the entire discussion makes no sense.

What exactly is wrong about a kilted skirt the same cut the same length as a man's kilt would be and with the opening to the left? My own wife has never given a thought to wearing a man's kilt but loves her kilted skirts which are very elegant when worn with a feminine blouse and a sash. Even she can't understand why a woman would want to wear a man's kilt.

Just another two cents from me that I found while walking down the street trying to figure this out.
